As an Energy Manager, you’re responsible for improving operational performance, reducing energy spend, and maximizing system longevity—all without disrupting daily operations. That’s why our approach goes beyond simple fixes. We engineer and implement long-term energy strategies tailored to your facility’s unique needs and operational constraints.

Our Approach: Engineering for Efficiency That Lasts 

Prescribing energy efficiency measures (EEMs) without a deep understanding of your building’s operational profile and system limitations often results in underperforming projects. At Hunton Services, our team engineers every solution with one goal: delivering measurable, sustainable results for the entire lifecycle of your systems.

We combine 8,760-hour energy usage analysis with a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) methodology that factors in:

• – System longevity and reliability
• – Operational and maintenance costs
• – Occupant productivity
• – Utility spend and market perception

Whether it’s retrofitting aged systems or optimizing high-performance facilities, our solutions are always grounded in data, real-world application, and client-specific ROI goals.

Building Intelligence: Our Suite of Energy Services

Operational & Energy Assessments

Our energy engineers conduct in-depth audits, including interviews with your facilities team, inspections of all energy-consuming systems, and collection of performance data. We’ll analyze utility bills and site conditions to uncover actionable insights and create a roadmap for improvement.

Commissioning, Recommissioning & Optimization

From initial commissioning to ongoing performance checks, we ensure your building systems function as designed—and better. With advanced analytics and controls integration, we identify system drift and recalibrate operations for peak efficiency, helping you avoid energy waste and unexpected downtime.

Turnkey Retrofits

Following assessments or commissioning, we implement targeted EEMs through turnkey retrofit services. We go beyond recommendations—we execute. As your trusted partner, we integrate improvements that drive down energy costs and enhance system reliability.

Measurement, Verification & Sustainability

We support our partner’s projects with transparent, real-time measurement and verification (M&V) services. Our documentation ensures that projected savings are tracked, reported, and achieved—backed by real-time performance metrics.

Energy Supply Services: Strategic Procurement & Market Intelligence

Energy supply management is a powerful lever for cost control. Hunton Services helps you build programs that mitigate the financial impact of price volatility in electricity and natural gas markets.

Our Energy Contracting and Procurement Services include:

• – Forward-looking market analysis
• – Risk-aligned supplier negotiations
• – Energy price forecasting & commentary
• – Regulatory and legislative tracking
• – Manage peak loads and optimize power factor to reduce demand charges
• – Access to wholesale energy markets
• – Load response and asset dispatching strategies

We’ll help you stabilize budgets, improve energy reliability, and expand your facility’s energy capabilities—all while minimizing capital investment.

Let Us Do the Heavy Lifting

Our partnership with Trane offers a competitive advantage. We act as your advocate—leveraging our vetted network of suppliers to find the right contract terms and energy pricing to support your strategy. Best of all, you’ll never receive an invoice from us for this service. The suppliers pay us, not you.

With transparent like-for-like comparisons and expert guidance, you don’t need to be an energy market expert to make smart, informed procurement decisions. We’ll equip you with everything you need to make the right call.

Integrated Systems, Proven Outcomes

Before implementing any operational change or capital project, we carefully evaluate the downstream impact of every decision. We look for synergies across systems—for example, leveraging built-in occupancy sensors in LED lighting to trigger HVAC adjustments for deeper energy savings.

Our integrated approach includes:

• – Benchmarking and system profiling
• – Detailed performance modeling
• – Strategic roadmaps to target conditions
• – Preventive and corrective repair strategies
• – Avoidance of energy drift through controls tuning
