An increasingly complex and volatile energy market has placed renewed emphasis on measuring and maximizing "energy productivity," the business value of every dollar spent on energy usage. Companies that engage in energy-efficient strategies enjoy a broad range of tangible and intangible benefits including:

Energy usage represents the single largest operating expense in an office property. Reducing energy use 30% is equivalent to increasing net operating income and building asset value by 5%. Reducing energy use 30% lowers operating costs by $25,000 per year for every 50,000 square feet of typical office space.

Hawks & Company works with businesses, institutions, and industrial facilities to implement a range of solutions that enhance performance by meeting customers' unique energy needs. Our energy programs are targeted towards increasing the effiency of your systems while turning variable costs into predictable, manageable costs.

Utility bill analysis

Hawks & Company employs a unique, scalable process to perform utility bill auditing. The invoice auditing process is designed to validate the meter readings, load factor validations, usage/cost per day and utility demand levels.

Energy audits

Businesses today are faced with the challenge of reducing wasted energy and decreasing operating costs. For these customers, Hawks & Company utilizes a proprietary combination of professional engineers and best in class technology tools to help our customers better understand and manage their energy costs. By gathering historical data, compiling usage patterns, and measuring current spending levels - benchmarked against industry metrics - we recommend actionable, scalable, and prioritized solutions that save money by implementing innovative improvements in building operations. Our team of experts surveys the entire facility to identify observable opportunities for improving the thermal envelope to reduce energy consumption.

Our energy audits are designed to evaluate the energy efficiency of our clients' physical assets and operation and identify opportunities for reducing energy costs through both changes in operations and building upgrades.

Pump applications

Hawks & Company offers an integrated approach to helping clients save money. Our on-staff pump specialists evaluate your existing mechanical system and measure actual usage patterns and energy consumption levels to determine the right requirements for each specific application. We strive to design and implement a solution that improves the performance of your asset, reduces energy consumption, and lowers overall maintenance expenditures.

Lighting

Lighting consumes 25-30% of energy in commercial buildings and is typically the largest source of heat gain and energy waste. Through low-risk, low-cost investments in lighting upgrades, Hawks & Company helps clients reduce excess heat, while freeing up valuable capacity in cooling and electrical systems We develop implementation plans and budgets for clients who want to maximize energy savings and more efficiently balance cooling loads and electrical distribution.

And because all lighting systems experience a natural decrease in output and efficiency over time-a degradation of up to 60% over time-impacting safety, productivity and maintenance costs, Hawks & Company also offers planned lighting maintenance programs to maximize the efficiency of your lighting systems while reducing energy costs and waste.
