Improve your energy efficiency by leveraging existing equipment.

RCx is a systematic procedure guided by a Technical Service Provider that aims to improve the performance of existing building systems. To ensure that existing buildings and industrial facilities operate effectively, RCx is used to identify and execute maintenance and operational improvements. The main objective is to improve occupant comfort and functionality while simultaneously increasing energy efficiency, lowering consumption, and guaranteeing the systems' long-term optimal performance.

Through the RCx program, commercial and industrial organizations may significantly reduce their energy costs with tailored energy solutions:

Large Commercial RCx: This is ideal for facilities larger than 150,000 square feet since it dives deeper into extensive system checks and adjustments to optimize HVAC and lighting performance.

Large Industrial RCx: Best suited for industrial customers with:

• Industrial Compressed Air plants with over 500 HP of active compressed air.
• Industrial Process Cooling systems designed for 500 tons of non-backup peak process cooling.
• Industrial Refrigeration systems over 500 HP of non-backup peak refrigeration.

Express Building Tune-Up (EBTU): EBTU is a Retrocommissioning offering that is ideal for commercial facilities less than 150,000 square feet. This solution offers rapid benefits via optimizing current systems to increase productivity.
