Our Services

Energy Program FacilitationTM 

We provide comprehensive and independent end-to-end methodology for developing, implementing, and maintaining sustainable energy efficiency, decarbonization, and renewable energy programs.   

Many building owners lack the time and expertise to manage large scale energy projects on their own, and often do not have the capacity within their team, without diverting resources from core operations. OCOsink’s EPF pathway helps organizations invest smartly in energy efficiency, to reduce their operational expenses and improve their bottom-line profitability (EBITA).  

Our unique strategy eliminates the high margins associated with Energy Services Companies, while expertly delivering a comprehensive energy program.

How it works?

Scoping Study 2-4 Weeks

Educate owner on EnMS to engage decision makers for long term energy strategy. Conduct an ASHRAE Level 1 or 2 energy audit to identify ECMs. Baseline SEUs involved in ECMs for detailed exploration in Investment-Grade audit. 


Pre-Construction 8-12 Weeks

Develop basis of design and scope intent for competitive bidding. Owner contracts directly with trades contractor(s). OCOsink provides oversight for selection.


Implementation 12–26 Weeks

OCOsink provides owner’s rep services and construction management agent services to ensure project is designed and implemented successfully.


Commissioning Concurrent

OCOsink tailors a commissioning plan during preconstruction that optimizes costs while minimizing risks. Each ECM will be formally commissioned by the installing contractor with OCOsink’s oversight.


Close out, warranty, m&v  1 year+

OCOsink EPF services extend into the warranty period to ensure the ECMs are functioning as designed and savings are achieved.

Solutions that fit your business

Engineering Study

Use Indoor Air Quality as the Driving KPI

  • Focus on IAQ: Our study prioritizes Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) as the central decision-making variable, recognizing its crucial role in both health and efficiency.
  • Detailed Analysis: We conduct a thorough analysis to estimate the costs and potential savings associated with HVAC modernization and energy efficiency.
  • Strategic Planning: The study lays the groundwork for a comprehensive strategic plan, tailored to maximize both your energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality.

Financial Strategy

Strategizing for Financially Smart, Sustainable Solutions

  • Decision-Making Support: Utilizing the financial insights from our engineering study, we assist key decision-makers in navigating the options for HVAC improvements.
  • Funding Solutions: We procure incentives, grants, and explore green financing channels to build a robust capital stack.
  • Positive Cash Flow Approach: Our goal is to establish an energy program that delivers positive cash flow from day one, with zero out-of-pocket costs, ensuring financial feasibility and sustainability.

Procurement

Innovating Procurement Solutions

Hybrid RFP/RFQ Process: We employ a unique hybrid of Request for Proposal (RFP) and Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to reduce the procurement cycle timeline while selecting the best local contractors. This ensures a perfect blend of expertise, cost optimization, and in support for the local community.

Implementation

From Concept to Completion

Streamlined Project Management: Our approach to PM handles all aspects of implementation, significantly reducing the demand on your internal resources and freeing up your team to focus on what they do best.

Expert Design Review and Collaborative Excellence: Our engineering team collaborates with your contractor collaborating to refine and enhance design drawings for cost efficiency and energy conservation. This ensures a perfect balance between innovative design, cost-effectiveness, and energy conservation, guiding our clients towards the most efficient and practical solutions for their projects.
