Building owners today are faced with rising utility and supply costs as fuel prices continue to increase to record levels.

• Energy cost rose by 17% last year.
• Building materials for new construction and repairs increased.
• Prices for steel rose by 46.5%.
• Concrete increased 10%.
• Gypsum products saw an increase of 21%.
• Other items such as plywood and copper rose by double digits.

Given these facts, the facility manager is stretched to the limits in controlling operational expenses.

Assisting the building owner with reducing the remaining non-energy operational costs takes additional knowledge and more importantly experience in this endeavor.

There are usually several additional contract companies involved in the operation of any building occupancy including: security, communications, information technology, cleaning services, lawn services, window washing services, botanical services, and
records destruction services.

In addition to the above listed items, a medical facility also includes the following additional services: emergency power services, medical gas services, infectious waste services, sterilization services, alarm testing and inspections, and testing agencies for waste water, gases, and other exposures.

Energy Management Services

A critical component of building management services is dealing with energy costs.

We assist our clients with energy saving measures designed specifically for their building.

Because controlling energy usage in an occupied building can be challenging, there must be an appreciation for the comfort of the occupant and an intimate knowledge of the mechanical and electrical systems in order to accomplish any reduction in energy usage.

Having the requisite knowledge of HVAC systems and controls are just the beginning. Knowing what can and has gone wrong in the past while attempting to adjust building controls can lead to better outcomes in the future.

We have been around for some time and have experience in both commercial and healthcare markets.

At the present time we have a very enviable record of accomplishment in the area of controlling energy cost. Within the past 12 months we can boast a record that demonstrates an average reduction in yearly energy consumption for participating
clients of 27%.

What this all means is that there is fertile ground for reducing operational expenses. What you will want in a company that claims to be able to control these costs is knowledge and experience. These are attributes you'll find at Facilities Management Specialists, Inc.
