Why Do Universities Need Energy Solutions?

With every academic year, colleges and universities face fiscal pressure. Administrators work with increasingly tighter budgets and are expected to control expenses. Energy usage is one area where higher education facilities are expected to reduce costs, though this initiative can be a challenge. Many college campuses are spread across several acres and have dozens of buildings.

College campuses need energy and emissions consulting services to:

  • Reduce energy costs: Universities need to understand their energy use to identify cost-saving opportunities.
  • Stabilize energy budgets: Some energy sources are more volatile than others and can affect energy spending. Consulting services help colleges invest in energy solutions based on their environmental and economic impact.
  • Achieve sustainability objectives: For universities that value energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives, energy consulting can help. With these solutions in place, colleges can become leaders in renewable energy for higher education.

About College Campus Energy and Emissions Consulting Services From FCS

FCS will help you identify improvement opportunities to enhance your energy usage. Our services include:

  • Performance audits: Our technicians will visit your campus for a walk-through of your equipment and components. We’ll provide a report with our findings and an action plan. 
  • Performance test and monitoring: We’ll develop a testing and monitoring program that helps you identify and analyze problems.
  • Troubleshooting analysis: Our experts will review how your equipment performs and is maintained to see if there are any issues with equipment performance.
  • Predictive and preventive maintenance: We’ll outline your maintenance needs by identifying procedures and systems to improve equipment efficiency. Our team will also create predictive and preventive maintenance procedures and programs to fix equipment issues before they become major problems.

We also encourage universities to track and measure their sustainability performance through the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment, and Rating System. This self-reporting framework allows colleges to compare their energy consumption over time and across institutions to work toward their goal of a more sustainable campus.
