Energy Efficiency Services and Solutions

NHI helps reduce our clients’ energy costs through the design, procurement, and installation of energy efficient products, systems, and solutions in their existing facilities. Specifically, we reduce energy consumption by optimizing, upgrading and/or replacing the building’s existing electrical and mechanical subsystems and by reducing passive energy losses from conduction, convection, and building/duct air leakage.

NHI’s recommendations may include modifying and/or replacing existing electrical and mechanical equipment and automating the operation of existing systems for improved energy efficiency. Examples of representative projects include process improvements, waste reduction, higher-efficiency equipment selection, and the evaluation and optimization of system operating points.

NHI offers a comprehensive set of energy efficiency services and solutions:

• Energy audits. We conduct comprehensive, facility-wide assessments. NHI’s energy audits include the analysis of the central utilities infrastructure.
• Subsystem assessments. We conduct evaluations of mechanical systems, electrical systems, and control systems.
• Load management, load shape, and analysis of energy-related billing determinants.
• Energy modeling. We model your building’s energy usage.
• Automation solutions. NHI offers full-service automation solutions, upgrade and evolution services. This includes process instrumentation and process controls design and engineering.
• We specialize in comprehensive energy programs, which are developed and implemented through our wide array of energy engineering services.
• Metering. We can provide real time metering solutions that improve your purchasing options.
