Bright Power’s Approach

How We Do It

By having all your energy and water management solutions under one roof, projects are completed on time, on budget, and with savings, benefiting current shareholders and attracting new ones. Our services include:

Our technical and engineering experts investigate all major energy and water systems and speak to site staff to understand operations and maintenance practices as well as shareholder issues. In the winter, do you find that some units get too hot while others are freezing? Our heating assessment will get to the bottom of the imbalance issue, eliminating the need to open windows on cold days and nights. We found that a majority of co-op and condo building systems’ operations costs come from inefficiencies in heating, cooling, ventilation, and providing domestic hot water. Bright Power’s recommendations for improvements will be organized in a report and we will meet your board to explain what we found.

Looking to lower your energy costs but not sure where to start? Our technical and engineering experts assess upgrade opportunities at the property, helping you gain an understanding of your building’s energy and water performance. We show you which improvements have the shortest payback and recommend the sequencing of upgrades that will yield the strongest results. Before you make a large investment in new equipment or systems, let us do your due diligence for you. This will allow your board to make informed and prudent decisions.

Reliability and resiliency will never go out of style. Solar photovoltaic (PV), cogeneration, and battery storage can provide savings, increase shareholder safety, build site resiliency, and keep your building operating during grid outages or blackouts. Based on your building and several other factors like cost, baseload, tax credit implications, and incentives, we will recommend the right resiliency solution for your co-op/condo.

Bright Power can help turn compliance obligations into value-add opportunities. Compliance regulations are designed to ensure buildings perform as efficiently as possible, leading to reductions in building waste, carbon footprint, and costs. We handle benchmarking, energy auditing, and retro-commissioning ordinances for you so you can learn how your co-op or condo performs to unlock areas for improvement. And with retro-commissioning, often a required component of energy auditing, equipment can even be fixed on the spot, providing immediate benefits!
