From Here to Decarbonization: The Stages of ENERVOLVE™

From Here to Decarbonization: The Stages of ENERVOLVE™

1.1 Project Kick-Off

The project begins by establishing the program’s mandate: reducing utility consumption and meeting GHG reduction targets, all while maintaining continued growth.

1.2 Data Collection

ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers) Level 2 audits are conducted. A Level 2 audit is a detailed audit of a building that not only provides detailed energy calculations, it also uses financial analysis to build a business case for implementing changes.

Other data will be collected from a variety of existing sources, including historical utility data, as-built drawings, risk management data, and others.

2.1 Gap Analysis

Once data has been collected, we need to identify how far the (organization) is from meeting its climate goals. Although the goal of this step is straightforward, it involves a number of different processes, including the development of a GHG inventory (a list of emission sources and the amount of emissions each is responsible for), and assessment of strategic plans, utility consumption and demand forecasting and analysis, and establishing a building’s envelope efficiency, among others.

2.2 Stakeholder Workshop

Stakeholder buy-in is always a necessary component of success, so GRAAP includes their participation at several steps along the way. This transparency gives them a better understanding of what this methodology involves and why things are being done a certain way. By sharing what the Gap Analysis has discovered, we solicit stakeholder input, giving them a greater stake in the process. We encourage a discussion of the importance of risk management.

3.1 Strategy Development

At this stage, GRAAP begins looking ahead, with forecasts for GHG emissions and utility consumption and demand. We find ways to integrate innovative solutions for greater efficiency. And, just as importantly, we consider the financial feasibility of our options, as well as how they might be funded. We also map out a plan for risk mitigation and resilience.

3.2 Stakeholder Engagement

Connecting with stakeholders again, this time it is to review the findings and of the development of the program. It is important here to encourage any reluctant stakeholders to change their opinions and start viewing the program not from the organization’s standpoint, but from a human-centric perspective. Finally, we review the plans for the implementation of the program.

This is the phase in which we introduce the program’s deliverables, including a GHG Reduction Roadmap & Action Plan, which provides a tailored, strategic plan for the path towards decarbonization; a GHG inventory and tracking tool to understand the program’s progress in real time; an Environmental Sustainability report ; and D&D Level Engineering Packages.

This is what everything has been leading up to, the moment when an action plan becomes action. For many decarbonization consultants, this is where their involvement ends. But with GRAAP, we’re involved throughout implementation as well, turning what has so far been theoretical into reality. Contracts are awarded and partnerships are established. We plan and prioritize measures and projects, grouping them in tranches for better management. We also secure funding, grants, and incentives. In keeping with previous stakeholder engagements, a human-centric lens is always emphasized.

Now is the time.

There’s no arguing that beginning your decarbonization journey can be daunting and seem expensive. But as regulatory and financial reporting demands evolve to require more transparency, the cost of putting off your start may be even costlier.

With Enervolve you can start now and be future ready to take of incentive programs as they emerge.

This moment presents a significant opportunity. With Enervolve you can begin your decarbonization journey now and be future-ready to take advantage of incentive programs as they emerge. As regulatory and financial reporting demands evolve to require more transparency, the cost of doing nothing may be even costlier.
