Energy Efficiency Consultants Windsor

GEM provides a roadmap for design and construction professionals to plan for an integrated design processes to achieve high energy performance goals. We first collaborate with a projects design team to help identify economically feasible green solutions. At this phase, it is important that all changes made by one team member are communicated to others to ensure any issues are addressed before construction begins.

As a project transitions to the construction-phase, a third-party analyst will streamline ongoing communication between the design and construction team. As the core team changes, ceding precedence to the construction team, we provide streamlined communication support between the teams to ensure value engineering does not diminish planned green features. Our process-oriented approach invites teamwork and transparency to smoothly execute energy performance goals within scheduling and budgetary constraints.

At GEM, we believe every project is unique. We offer a wide range of customizable green building certification consulting serves to fit your project needs, including LEED certification consulting services, Zero Net Energy and various other green building programs.

Located in the heart of wine country, GEM offers consulting services to help wineries and vineyards efficiently manage their water and energy efficiency needs. Our services are customized to help design and construction teams navigate the planning and building delivery processes to reduce resource demands, and verify that both local and state building energy standards are met.

Almost half of the electricity consumed by wineries is used for refrigeration at various stages of the winemaking processes. We have successfully collaborated with an extensive number of wineries and vineyards to style solutions to reduce energy and project costs. Through the grapevine, design and construction professionals have counted on GEM’s winery and vineyard services for LEED certification consultation, greenhouse gas emissions analysis, as well as a wide assortment of other green solutions.

We encourage design and construction teams to dream big. It is our mission to make sure your plan is executed efficiently throughout the planning and construction delivery processes. Once contracted, one of our dedicated analysts will manage a project by using their expertise to enhance the know-how of owners, developers, architects, engineers and contractors. Using an integrated design process allows a project team to explore and implement green solutions effectively while staying within budgetary and scheduling constraints. Our comprehensive approach helps identify, quantify and implement energy and water saving solutions to meet energy performance goals.

California has long acknowledged climate change as an existential threat to mankind. The state is addressing this danger through a multifaceted approach to reducing carbon emissions. By 2030, the state will require that all new and 50% of existing commercial construction be Zero Net Energy (ZNE). Hiring a consultant early will ensure that green features are integrated and implemented to minimize costly redesigns and our team will assist in meeting energy performance goals. We also offer a variety of other green building and energy efficiency programs tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients, including LEED certification consultation, and solar energy analysis.

The need for affordable housing in our communities is undeniable. At GEM, we recognize the positive impact healthy and energy efficient communities can have on its residents. Our process-oriented energy and green building program development closely collaborates with the design team to identify, quantify and implement cost-effective energy performance features in new and rehabilitation projects.

Affordable housing projects use multiple public and private sources to fund design and construction. We know how to leverage green features and high-performance energy features needed to secure funds. Bringing the latest knowledge to the field facilitates smooth construction delivery processes. We can also assist the design team to meet the intent of national and local certification programs including LEED for Homes and GreenPoint Rated.
