DESIGN ENGINEERING

E3 Designs offers a complete range of mechanical and electrical design services for clients that are looking for single source responsibility in their project implementation. We have established working relationships with large, multinational design firms, which have the necessary resources to successfully address any design requirements. Our extensive network will allow us to make recommendations on contractors, construction managers, and project managers based on first hand knowledge of the local marketplace.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Even when a project is properly evaluated and designed, often what is installed is not what the client expected or paid for. Our project management services provide technical assistance to assure that the system is installed on time, on budget, and meets with the client's performance expectations.

CHILLER PLANT OPTIMIZATION SERVICES

If you are a building owner or facility manager, you may be considering upgrading or retrofitting your existing chiller plant for a variety of reasons. Some of the issues that have lead customers to consider our Chiller Plant Optimization Services solutions include:

• Increased maintenance costs due to aging equipment,
• Obsolescence due to CFC regulations,
• Efficiency improvements,
• Changing load requirements

E3 Designs specializes in optimizing the operation of existing chiller plants. Let us show you how to upgrade your facility's chiller plant AND pay for implementation through reduced energy costs. If you are considering options for retrofitting your chiller plant, we invite you to view our comprehensive PowerPoint^TM presentation on Chiller Plant Optimization or contact us at 252 255-1843.

SYSTEM MONITORING & VERIFICATION

With the increased application of microprocessor based controllers on mechanical equipment, there is detailed operating information available today that may be used in optimizing the operation of your HVAC systems.

E3 Designs offers a unique monitoring and validation service to gather critical operating data by component. The data is compiled hourly using a facility's EMS system, and a mathematical model is created by E3 Designs to provide a benchmark of energy usage.

With E3 Designs' System Monitoring & Verification Service, building owners and operators are provided with timely summaries of their system's operation. The report includes information on energy input, a measured output (capacity and time), and any measurable factors that impact the efficiency of each component. Our engineering specialists use this information to help identify methods for improving the effectiveness of the HVAC system or to verify the energy savings from previously implemented energy savings projects.

Case studies are provided to describe E3 Design's monitoring concept and results of implementation in a manufacturing facility - click here. You are also invited to view a sample Performance Report and Operator Training and Annual Summary Report.

CUSTOMIZED BUILDING OPERATOR TRAINING PROGRAMS

E3 Designs will develop a customized HVAC training program for building operators. Our program integrates the theories of efficient operation with the hands-on experience of the building operators and operational data collected through the building's EMS system. The benefits include:

• Benchmarking of Operations
• Identification of operational and maintenance improvements
• Identification of HVAC capital projects
• Life-cycle evaluation of potential projects
• Verification of system operation at the end of the projects
