The Envinity NCCx Value
Aka the “Envinity Awesome Sauce”
Envinity’s value is anchored in our HVAC Commissioning (Cx) Services and our ability to ensure a successful project turnover without sacrificing speed to market. Our design review, on-site observation, testing, and verification services will undoubtedly enhance the outcome of your project.
We also have the capability to add Fault Detection for warranty phase monitoring and continuous improvement post-occupancy. As both specifiers and practitioners, our FDD is the emerging technology that is revolutionizing how the built environment is managed.
.
TOTAL Lifecycle Focused
In practice, we see ourselves as the bridge between the project team and the operations team in the turnover of a peakperforming, reliable building.
We are committed to ensure all systems are well-designed, complete, and functioning to an energy-efficient standard that reduces overall lifecycle cost, with the appropriate system documentation and training to maintain/improve building performance over time.
Solar Advisory & Procurement
Our team of renewable energy consultants are data-driven with decades of combined expertise identifying and structuring projects that optimize your energy generation and deploy renewables across your real estate portfolio thoughtfully.
This includes extensive in-house experience with design, permitting, structural, and installation.
Our unique positioning with the Amicus Solar Co-operative has allowed us to project material costs in an ever-evolving market and help you put your best foot forward with a comprehensive energy master plan.
Strategic Energy Services
New Construction Commissioning (NCCx)
Commissioning is the quality assurance process needed to achieve your operating, design, and construction goals from day one. Our commissioning team is there from design, construction, testing, and training to work seamlessly with your staff, design, and construction teams. Together, we’ll focus on energy reliability for optimal performance from design to operation for a pragmatic, modern, digital process so you have a building that’s performance gets better with age.
Retrocommissioning (RCx)
Retro-commissioning is the art of re-tuning existing systems for enhanced energy performance. Like the commissioning process for new buildings, retro-commissioning seeks to improve how building equipment and systems function together, and it is often the first project that our clients pursue after the development of an energy management plan.
Retro-commissioning can often resolve problems that occurred during design or construction, or address problems that have developed during the building’s life. It improves a building’s operations and maintenance procedures to enhance overall building performance, making existing capital assets work harder for you.
Infrastructure Renewal
Our Infrastructure Renewal Plans are tailored to address the unique financial and infrastructural needs of our clients. We do not see finances and facilities as separate concerns, but as equal concerns in a solution that will address the nuts and bolts of energy planning and facilities upgrades within the constraints of budget and corporate strategy. Our detailed, year-by-year implementation plan and corresponding cash flow analysis will show you how energy efficiency can pay for your capital upgrades in the short run and contribute to your bottom line in the long run.
Have you ever been challenged retrofitting an AHU or making a case for a CoGen system? Our team provides comprehensive energy models from a systems perspective, makes recommendations, and helps you implement them to reduce energy spend, improve sustainability, and gain energy resiliency. We can work on just an AHU, a whole building, or across a national network of facilities.
We evaluate HVAC, building controls, lighting, and other equipment—and prioritize them based on useful-life evaluation, payback, and return on investment (ROI).
Fault Detection and Analytics
Envinity is now combining its expertise in retro-commissioning with sophisticated software and data analytics to better manage building performance and efficiency. Our process involves Building Automation System (BAS) fault-detection and data-mining that limits reactive work, reduces troubleshooting, lessens time spent diagnosing issues, and gives facility managers more control.
Construction Management
Construction management is fundamental to the success of today’s complex MEP projects. It is imperative that today’s CMs not only have a keen understanding of project management but also have the technical knowledge to be able to make informed decisions. Envinity’s construction management group can accommodate any size project from design to closeout. Our team has the expertise to not only focus on traditional project management values such as quality, cost, and schedule, but also maintains attention on safety and energy efficiency.
We deliver full-service construction oversight and sustainability management services for new construction, retrofits, and renovation for existing buildings to improve energy efficiency and solar potential.
Our areas of project management expertise involve a total turnkey design-build construction management approach but can be tailored based on your resources and preferences. From issuing RFPs to conducting interviews and developing contracts, we conduct pre-construction meetings, maintain focus on your priorities, and set milestones for design and construction phases. We provide daily oversight on construction and budget, complete all punch lists, and administer ongoing quality control procedures into project turnover.
MEP Engineering
Envinity engineers not only offer the expertise of facility energy management but are well equipped to offer all of the traditional mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design services. Envinity also works with clients through bid management and construction for a turnkey project result. Our streamlined process will help you make necessary upgrades to your facility without getting in the way of your operations.
Envinity specializes in the following project types:
– Chiller replacements and controls upgrades
– Boiler replacements and controls upgrades
– Building automation system upgrades
– Geothermal and Waste Heat Recovery
– Fuel conversions
– Air system balancing and optimization
– Lighting upgrades
