ENERGY MASTER PLANNING: ACHIEVING SUSTAINABILITY WITH BUREAU VERITAS
BUREAU VERITAS’ ENERGY MASTER PLANNING SERVICES NOT ONLY ENABLE CLIENTS TO MEET THEIR NET ZERO AND SUSTAINABILITY TARGETS BUT ALSO POSITION THEM AS LEADERS IN CLIMATE-READY FACILITIES.
ADVANCING CLIMATE LEADERSHIP THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY SOLUTIONS
COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY & SUSTAINABILITY MASTER PLANNING SERVICES
ASHRAE LEVEL II ENERGY AUDITS & BENCHMARKING Bureau Veritas conducts detailed ASHRAE Level II energy audits, evaluating mechanical, electrical, lighting, envelope, and control systems through on-site walkthroughs and interviews. These audits incorporate Energy Use Intensity (EUI) benchmarking using ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and internal tools, providing clients with actionable insights into energy performance and identifying opportunities for improvement.
ELECTRIFICATION ROADMAPS Bureau Veritas develops electrification roadmaps by assessing existing fossil fuel burning systems and evaluating electric alternatives such as high-efficiency electric boilers and heat pumps. The process includes analyzing building electrical capacity and proposing phased transition strategies aligned with equipment lifecycles and carbon neutrality targets.
RENEWABLE ENERGY FEASIBILITY STUDIES Bureau Veritas use tools like NREL PVWatts to assess a facility’s solar PV potential, evaluating structure, orientation, and shading. Feasibility reports include system designs, energy estimates, and options for battery storage or microgrid integration as well as asset management services.
ENERGY & WATER MONITORING SYSTEMS BV designs implementation schedules for smart monitoring platforms that integrate energy and water usage data across facilities. These platforms enable realtime monitoring, automated alerts for abnormal usage, and support for educational engagement by providing stakeholders with real time dashboards and actionable insights into sustainability performance.
INDOOR AIR QUALITY (IAQ) MONITORING PROGRAMS In collaboration with partners, BV develops IAQ monitoring programs, establishing program specifications, equipment capabilities, and operational plans. The programs align with guidelines from ASHRAE, ensuring effective monitoring and response strategies.
METHANE GAS REDUCTION STRATEGIES Bureau Veritas assists clients in developing methane gas phase-out plans, conducting utility data analysis to establish baselines, and identifying strategies for eliminating methane-consuming equipment. Monitoring programs are designed to track progress in methane reductions, supporting decarbonization goals.
CLIMATE ACTION PLANNING Bureau Veritas provides consulting for the development and implementation of strategic, data-driven Climate Action Plans (CAPs) that align with executive orders and sustainability goals. The CAPs encompass greenhouse gas emissions baselines, mitigation strategies across energy, water, transportation, and facilities, and energy resiliency assessments to anticipate and prevent climate-related outages.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE Bureau Veritas evaluates the viability of implementing electric vehicle (EV) programs, analyzing existing infrastructure, conducting cost-benefit analysis, and ensuring regulatory compliance. These studies provide actionable recommendations for sustainable transportation solutions, including fleet electrification planning.
