Manage your energy consumption with building automation.

Increase your building’s energy-efficiency by installing an energy management system and receive a rebate for the upgrade from Dominion Energy.

Once the new system is installed on site, the program includes a thorough system test to validate energy savings and performance.

During the project design phase, the program provides recommended design improvements, which may include adding control points and features, and revises control sequences to capture more savings. Savings estimates and incentives are provided per measure or upgrade so that customers and contractors can clearly understand the benefits of each recommendation.

Benefits may include:

• New control systems and control sequences reduce energy use and helps you save on your energy expenses
• More efficient use of your equipment systems, reducing system waste
• Financial incentives that help to offset the cost for installing the recommended improvements

Are your building controls optimized and saving as much energy as they could be?

Increase your building’s energy-efficiency by auditing and tuning up your energy management system. Plus, receive rebates for the audit and improvements from Dominion Energy.

The Building Optimization program provides rebates for recommissioning improvements made to your facility’s energy management system. Areas of control include HVAC, lighting, domestic hot water, and any other electric commercial building equipment controlled by a central building automation system.

Benefits may include:

• A comprehensive audit of your building energy control equipment identifies opportunity to reduce energy use and helps you save on your energy expenses.
• More efficient use of your equipment systems, reducing system waste.
• Financial incentives that help to offset the cost for installing the recommended improvements.

The Building Engagement Program allows facility managers, staff, and building occupants to take control of their energy usage.

Program participants receive no-fee access to the building engagement portal online tool as well as an initial assessment and ongoing support from experienced energy efficiency experts to help review, adjust, and optimize their building energy performance.

The online engagement portal will recommend simple challenges each month based on each customer’s needs, equipment, and facility type and provide insight into changes customers can make to save energy and track progress over time.

Actions can be completed by facility managers or other interested parties. The portal allows for management and engagement of several different buildings at the same time, perfect for private schools and universities, business campuses, or property management groups.

To assist with completing the challenges, customers receive information and resources about best practices, as well as ongoing support and guidance from energy efficiency technical staff.

Opportunities to improve energy efficiency may include:

• Tighten lighting and HVAC operating schedules
• Optimize air handlers, chillers, and other HVAC equipment
• Optimize economizer operation
• Review and adjust temperature setpoints
• Reduce unnecessary ventilation during low or no-occupancy times
• Form an energy team
• Educate and empower building occupants on energy efficiency best practices
• Benchmark your building energy usage against similar facilities
• Reduce high demand spikes and charges
