US Energy Group and GES form new alliance

US Energy Group has formed a new alliance with Greenwich Energy Solutions (GES) to help drive down operating costs for facilities and ensure compliance with new environmental and energy regulations in the city. "GES is a service organization of energy auditors and specialists in Local Laws 84, 87, and Intro 194 as they pertain to building owners and their management," said David Unger, COO of US Energy. "We are looking forward to having them support our clients with compliance benchmarking, energy audits, and recommendations for heating/cooling system upgrades." The unique alliance is designed to identify opportunities and provide comprehensive, cost effective solutions to help real estate organizations manage their overall fuel, energy and water consumption and costs through energy audits, benchmarking, implementation of energy conservation measures, and retro-commissioning. By deploying US Energy Group's Building Energy Management System (BEMS) - proven to reduce fuel consumption by 15-30% with a payback in under two years -- the alliance will work together to improve the energy efficiency of the City's building stock. GES has been working with the US Energy Group team to fully support this year's Benchmarking compliance process of reporting energy usage to the EPA's Portfolio Manager. USE Manager, the information hub of US Energy Group's Building Energy Management System, was the first system authorized to issue Benchmarking Compliance Certificates, recognized by New York City as proof of benchmarking. The alliance makes it hassle-free for owners and managers by handling both the administrative and technical details of complying with the legislation.
