Under the pressure of legislative mandates and environmental benchmarks, commercial buildings are being required to undergo energy makeovers. HVACR contractors are tasked with the challenge of upgrading these often archaic, inefficient systems. In many cases, though, repairing the equipment is like trying to put a Band-Aid on a bullet hole.
A new approach, championed by HVACR manufacturers and energy providers, called Energy as a Service (EaaS) or Energy Efficiency as a Service (EEaaS), offers facility managers an all-in-one, turnkey replacement option. Working through one company, EaaS/EEaaS is designed to simplify and streamline all on-site energy efficiency upgrades, eliminating massive equipment costs, supply chain delays, unexpected maintenance charges, and more through no upfront costs and one monthly bill.
