The best time to incorporate energy efficiency into a new industrial plant—and ensure long-term energy cost savings—is when the plant is still in the design stage. Quite simply, it’s more cost-effective than retrofitting an existing plant.

Hatch’s Energy Management experts conduct energy efficiency design reviews throughout all stages of design, from concept studies through to detailed engineering design.

Our energy management design review approach includes:

• A baseline energy use analysis of the base case design
• A design review workshop focused on reducing energy waste, improving energy efficiency and optimizing energy supply Identifying and quantifying energy saving and greenhouse gas reduction opportunities using our time-tested sustainable plant design guidelines
• Integrating a design review process that uses Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) principles to optimize energy performance
• A cost-benefit analysis of identified opportunities and review of the results with the design team
• Benchmarking your facility against energy management best practices
• Incorporating operational best practices once the site has been commissioned
