Enhance efficiency and drive savings with Strategic Energy Management (SEM) solutions

Commercial and industrial (C&I) businesses are challenged by limited time and budget constraints and can benefit from tailored guidance about what specific changes are needed to lower their energy use.

Our dedicated Strategic Energy Management experts provide specific guidance to improve organizational energy efficiency. We help C&I and multifamily organizations reduce costs and energy consumption by identifying low/no-cost projects and monitoring energy management progress at each site. By taking a comprehensive approach to sustainability, we help reduce waste and lower energy consumption to achieve an average savings of 5% in the first year.

What is Strategic Energy Management?

Strategic Energy Management (or SEM) is a long-term, holistic approach to optimizing energy use, reducing costs and minimizing environmental impact. The multi-year program typically runs on 12-month cycles and includes comprehensive energy assessments to identify cost-effective opportunities for reducing energy consumption and expenses. SEM also teaches sites how to engage employees, optimize processes, and use data-driven monitoring to achieve long-lasting energy savings.
