What we doCTI provides Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) that update your utility infrastructure with no upfront capital cost, provide resiliency and security, with almost no risk.
An ESPC is a partnership between a facilities owner and CTI that produces energy cost savings and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. CTI works to secure project financing and guarantee utilities savings. An ESPC can generate surplus cash for you.
A typical ESPC includes a wide range of efficient HVAC and water conservation equipment, solar photovoltaic and domestic hot water panels, energy storage, and critical software.
STEP 1 | PROJECT DEVELOPMENTWe work with you every step of the way
You will meet with a CTI team member, who will then complete a preliminary project analysis.
CTI’s ongoing projects include energy and water usage reduction, lighting upgrades, HVAC and controls, chiller and cooling tower replacements, boiler replacements, solar photovoltaic and thermal panels, battery storage, operations and maintenance, and facility-specific measures.
STEP 2 | EngineeringInvestment grade energy auditing
CTI gathers facility-specific utility data, performs site analysis, and produces cost-benefit evaluation and engineering design.
Beginning with an Investment Grade Energy Audit and through all phases of the project, an ESPC can reduce utility costs by more than 20% in guaranteed savings.
STEP 3 | FinanceYour utility savings pay for ESPC costs
CTI manages RFPs, analyzes bids, sources energy rebates, and secures loans and leases to maximize energy savings.
Guaranteed energy and utilities cost savings pay for equipment, installation, and measurement and verification.
STEP 4 | Government RelationsWe work with you to facilitate contract approvals
CTI handles all compliance documentation, deals with permitting, and facilitates all contract approvals.
STEP 5 | Project ManagementWe handle the construction while you run your organization
CTI manages the process beginning with the Investment Grade Energy Audit, hires and supervises all contractors, and stays on site every day throughout construction to final completion.
STEP 6 | ResultsWe guarantee your utility savings for the term of the contract
Your guaranteed savings will pay for utility costs and principal and interest on the ESPC loan.* Savings that exceed the guarantee remain with you. Thus, surplus savings assure your positive Return on Investment.
CTI supplies you with a detailed annual report with measurement and verification of your savings.
CTI also provides operations and maintenance services after construction.
