Standard Track Program
Receive a detailed assessment of your building’s systems with an investigative retro-commissioning study fully funded by DTE Energy—valued at up to $80,000.
Process
- Application
Our team of experts works with you to see if your building qualifies for the RCx Program and assists you with completing the application documents. - Investigation
Your building systems will be assessed by our energy engineers to identify energy-saving measures and their savings & implementation cost estimates. You select the improvements you would like to make. - Implementation
Your team will implement the upgrades of your choosing. - Verification
Documentation will be collected for the implemented measures to verify the energy savings. - Gratification
Our team will present to you the details of your year-over-year energy and cost savings and send you the incentive for successful completion of the project.
Common Standard Track Improvements
- Optimize scheduling to ensure equipment and lighting are operating only when needed
- Optimize economizer controls
- Adjust supply air temperature and fan speed
- Optimize chiller and boiler operations to match building load conditions
- Optimize process cooling and heating
