VaCom works with industrial and commercial customers to deliver energy projects with significant savings.  Many projects qualify for incentive credits from various utility programs that encourage conservation.  For example, most electric utilities provide credits that apply to refrigeration retrofit projects, which can help pay for controls upgrades, new variable speed capabilities, or new refrigeration components.

VaCom experience with the major utilities makes this process easy.  We can design the updated system, simulate the savings, apply to the utility, and then implement the system on a turn-key basis.  Our experience with these Utility “Standard Performance Contracts” has been exceptional with a 100% record of success in obtaining energy savings and energy incentives.

VaCom customers within these areas obtain significant benefits.  Projects typically have a 12-18 month payback with a continuing savings benefit that extends for over 10 years.  In California, several utilities offer this type of program for energy conservation. Click here to view a recent example from SDG&E that saved our client $230,000.  Refer to the utility services link to see how VaCom works with major utilities to manage portions of these incentive programs.

Building owners: Do you own a refrigerated facility with multiple tenants sharing a central refrigeration system?

Tenants: Would you like to have greater control over your utility costs and reap 100% of the benefits of your tenant improvements?

Both building owners and tenants stand to gain from VaCom’s Multi-Tenant Refrigeration Allocation Solution.  Owners can increase property value, avoid legal disputes surrounding utility cost breakouts, and lower vacancy rate by incorporating VaCom’s multi-tenant solution.  Tenants can be assured they are only paying for what they use and can reap 100% of the benefits of any space improvements or utility programs they choose to implement.

Take a look at our VaCom Multi Tenant Brochure for more details on the benefits of accurate refrigeration energy usage allocation.
