Energy Conserving System Engineering Design
We have experience in the following alternative energy source and/or energy conserving systems:

Renewable Energy: Wood/Corn Burning Heating Plants Solar Power Wind Power Geothermal Heat Pumps (closed loop and open loop systems) Free Colling Water-side Economizers (via dry coolers and cooling towers) Energy Recover Air Handling Units IAQ/Ventilation Systems Heat Reclaim - pool heaters, condenser water; process water

Building Systems Audits/Energy Analysis We provide building system audits and energy analysis for clients looking to improve and/or track the energy consumption/efficiency of the HVAC and Lighting Systems in existing buildings. The audits include a detail assessment of the HVAC and Light Systems, with a specific focus on energy performance. The energy Analysis includes. energy modeling and/or equipment energy monitoring to determine where energy savings can be attained. As part of the Energy Analysis, we will compare the energy consumption to industry standard benchmarks for the type of facility and climate.

Energy Monitoring
We can provide real-time monitoring of energy consumption for clients looking to get specific and actual information in regard to where and what is consuming energy in their facility.

    The quality of the [feasibility study provided by Synergy] led the district to immediately retain Synergy to design a new boiler plant and serve as construction manager... After one year of working with Synergy, I can say without hesitation that our assessment of their company was accurate. From the budget development stage to the punch lists, Synergy offers their experience as "your representation."
