Carson Dunlop Weldon and Associates Ltd., (CDW Engineering) has been benefiting
building owners for over 30 years. One of the best ways to maximize the value
of your asset and reduce operating expenses is to retrofit with more efficient
equipment. This process starts with an Energy Audit. An Energy Audit by CDW
Engineering is performed by experienced engineers and follows ASHRAE and Natural
Resources Canada guidelines. Our philosophy for Energy Audits is to provide
sound recommendations for upgrades with realistic payback periods. We provide
additional value, by identifying applicable incentives from various levels
of government, utility providers, etc., considering the useful life of the
existing equipment
in our recommendations and by assisting in the completion of the necessary
incentive application forms. While we understand the need to minimize our impact
on the environment, we also recognize that an acceptable return on investment
is an important consideration. We do not offer design or contracting services;
therefore, you know our recommendations are unbiased.
A CDW Engineering Energy Audit consists of the following four steps:
- Perform historic energy use analysis prior to the site visit.
- Perform site review of the building and its operating characteristics.
- Identify potential modifications that will reduce the energy use and/or
operating cost.
- Prepare a report to document the analysis, results and ranked recommendations,
including appropriate cost to implement and pay back.
Because it is the first step to saving you money! Here are a few more reasons
retrofits make sense:
- It will reduce your impact on the environment
- There are incentives available to reduce your capital costs for the improvements
- By attaining accreditation, such as LEED EBOM© or the BOMA BESt© standard,
you will attract tenants looking to save money and be a "greener"corporation
- It will increase the value of your property
