Opportunities Assessments

Technical solutions are a critical piece of the energy management puzzle. Successful energy managers are continuously seeking practical improvements. Hatch Energy plays a key role in supporting this drive for effective energy management by helping to identify and evaluate specific opportunities in many areas:

  • Alternative energy solutions
  • Boiler and steam systems
  • Cogeneration options
  • Compressed air systems
  • Control systems
  • Demand and load management
  • Energy monitoring systems
  • Fans and blowers
  • Greenhouse gas mitigation assessments
  • Heating, ventilation and air conditioning
  • Industrial refrigeration
  • Motors and drives
  • Power factor correction
  • Pumps and hydraulic systems
  • Waste heat recovery
  • Water and wastewater minimization.

We provide a range of assessment services from initial walk-through evaluations to detailed analyses. Our service help clients to determine the cost effectiveness of the identified improvements and to prioritize their projects.

Typically our site energy assessments include:

  • Establishing key performance indicators to track energy use
  • Identifying opportunities for demand savings
  • Assessing site systems and utilities for potential savings opportunities
  • Prioritizing projects with the site team to develop a strategy that will be effective on site
  • Developing action plans, which include practical plans that pave the way for measurable energy savings
  • Identifying funding opportunities to support the energy reviews and project implementation.

Many of our initiatives are supported by funding agencies that contribute toward the external costs for the investigations.
