The concept is centered on utilizing the highest level of energy efficient equipment to minimize energy consumption. APPI’s Demand Side Services program provides the technical and engineering resources to analyze and implement savings solutions that reduce the cost of energy.

A Demand Side Services audit examines
ways to:

• Reduce the consumption of energy.
• Modernize old systems and equipment.
• Improve the environment within the facility.
• Improve the quality of environmental emissions.
• Increase efficiencies.

Areas of Focus:

Old equipment, systems and technology can be reasons for high energy bills. A plant or facility audit can reveal opportunities to reduce expenditures by upgrading or modernizing. Areas typically covered by an audit are:

• HVAC Upgrades
• Lighting Upgrades
• Variable Frequency Drives
• Energy Management Systems
• Utility Monitoring
• Peak Load Scheduling
• Insulating
• Duty Cycling
• Co-generation

Under a Performance Management Contract savings can be used to pay for systems upgrades to a plant, warehouse, office building or other facilities.
