| | America needs to decarbonize over 7,000 buildings every day for the next 28 years if we are to reach our 2050 climate goals – the first step in each of these projects is on-site data collection regarding existing infrastructure. EMPEQ’s Fast Site SurveyTM technology increases the efficiency of these initial assessments by up to 80%.
With one click of a smartphone’s camera, EMPEQ's Fast Site Survey software solution automatically digitizes building equipment specifications, digitally maps the infrastructure, estimates the remaining useful life of equipment, and provides a report / proposal for the building owner / end customer. Our solution is unique in that it attacks the labor shortage from both angles; Field Engineers save anywhere from 50 to 80% of the time they spend on preparing these proposals and reports and the embedded intelligence allows for more novice employees to perform initial facility assessments. EMPEQ is the only option in the market that combines flexibility, automation, and a deep intelligence around equipment and infrastructure in buildings. This provides a unique advantage in workforce development, division of labor, scalability, and efficiency.
Our value proposition is fourfold.
• Make expensive employees more efficient
• Lower the required experience level for site auditors
• Lower at-risk customer acquisition costs
• Obtain previously scarce and cost-prohibitive atomic-level equipment data to improve reporting accuracy
EMPEQ has proven market need by adding some of the biggest names in engineering and/or contracting as paid customers including Johnson Controls, the United States’ Department of Defense, and Siemens.
Fast Site Survey automates and standardizes the building audit process. While enabling you to manage your field workers and employ more entry -level workers to complete work that was typically reserved for veteran energy workers.
We're looking to partner with organizations who complete energy audits and are looking to scale their workforce to complete more audits, faster, and more accurately with existing workers and/or new workforce entrants. |

All energy will be produced by renewable sources. With 576 solar panels, air-source heat pumps, EV charging stations, and battery back-up, the organization will avoid more than $70,000 in annual energy costs. That savings will be re-invested to support the United Way's work to create opportunities for Long Islanders to live better lives with efforts in the areas of health, education, and financial stability.
The project also turns the facility into an on-the-job training hub for veterans and young adults as United Way grows the talent pool of skilled labor in the energy efficiency and clean technology market. And in times of natural disasters, the carbon neutral building will stand ready as a command center to serve the public. |

AEE has been providing energy efficiency training and certification programs since 1981. Our Certified Energy Manager certification is accredited to ISO 17024 and recognized by the DOE Better Buildings Workforce Guidelines. Two AEE certification programs, the CEM and CEA, will provide technical training in support of engineers, architects, building scientists, building energy permitting and enforcement officials, and building technicians in energy-efficient design and operations.
The CEM is one of the most globally respected certifications in the field of energy efficiency and energy management. Gain industry and peer recognition, bring value to your organization and propel your career forward.
A Certified Energy Manager is an individual who optimizes the energy performance of a facility, building, or industrial plant. The CEM is a systems integrator for electrical, mechanical, process, and building infrastructure, analyzing the optimum solutions to reduce energy consumption in a cost-effective approach. CEM’s are often team leaders and help to develop and implement their organizations’ energy management strategies. CEM’s have gained increased recognition within the energy industry and by companies looking to strengthen their competitive position by having responsible energy strategies and sustainable operational practices.
CEA training participants learn pre-audit requirements to ensure accurate data collection, measurement and verification. They learn what they need to know when conducting audits of building equipment and systems, such as lighting, pumps, motors, drives, HVAC, water systems, etc. Participants learn the financial and economic aspects of an energy audit and how they can affect the bottom line for an organization. They learn how to analyze utilities, and how energy demand, energy rates, energy accounting and performance contracting all affect an energy audit. And finally, participants learn how to identify the “low-hanging fruit” that is ripe for energy conservation opportunities. |

| Energy Efficiency in Non-Profit Buildings | The Opera House Players (OHP) vision and mission is to:
To provide Broadway quality, affordable musical theater to the community.
*To attract the top local talent and reach the broadest audience with our productions, in a theater that is comfortable and inviting
*To provide an outlet for innovative, creative and artistic expression
*To engage the community for cultural enrichment and long-term sustainability of the theater
The Opera House Players is a non-profit volunteer-based community theater group based out of Enfield, CT. Founded in 1968 (originally the St Martha Players,) they are one of the oldest groups in the area performing exclusively musical theatre. In 2003 they moved from Enfield to Broad Brook and became The Opera House Players. Since then, they have continued to uphold and grow their reputation for high-quality, award-winning productions. They perform four shows a season, with a variety ranging from comedy to drama, contemporary to classic, as well as multiple fundraisers a year.
In 2018, coinciding with their 50th anniversary, The Opera House Players returned to their original hometown of Enfield, CT, occupying the historic Presbyterian church. They have completed the planning and design for a total renovation of the church into their new theater home. Part of this renovation will include a full replacement of the very old and outdated HVAC system. The Opera House Players is looking to be a team partner in this energy efficiency program for the HVAC replacement.
The theater renovation is an integral part of the revitalization of the Thompsonville section of Enfield, contributing to the economic redevelopment of this area. |

We are one of the oldest and largest women’s organizations in the nation, serving over 2 million women, girls, and their families.
YWCA has been at the forefront of the most pressing social movements for more than 160 years — from voting rights to civil rights, from affordable housing to pay equity, from violence prevention to health care reform. Today, we combine programming and advocacy in order to generate institutional change in three key areas: racial justice and civil rights, empowerment and economic advancement of women and girls, and health and safety of women and girls.
YWCA reaches 2.3 million women, girls and their families through more than 200 local associations in 45 states and the District of Columbia. We provide critical programs, including domestic and sexual violence services, through 12,500 staff members and 52,000 volunteers.
We are the largest network of domestic and sexual violence service providers in the nation. More than 150 YWCAs across 44 states provide gender-based violence services. Every year, in communities big and small, YWCAs get up and do the work of providing safe and secure housing, crisis hotlines, counseling, court assistance, and other community and safety programs to more than 535,000 women, children and families.
YWCA is creating a safer, more just world by offering safe and secure emergency shelter, transitional housing, and long-term housing to victims and survivors of gender-based violence so they can avoid homelessness and rebuild their lives. In many communities, YWCA is the only provider of housing for domestic violence survivors. The fact that 1 in 4 women is homeless because of violence committed against her, and more than 92% of homeless mothers have experienced severe physical and/or sexual abuse during their lifetime makes YWCAs services even more crucial.
It is YWCA USA's intention to invest in energy-efficiency improvements across the 44 states and 150 facilities it owns and/or operates. |
