Retrocommissioning Service Providers (RSP) must attend the 2022 Retrocommissioning training in order to remain registered.
Existing Trade Allies who wish to enroll as an RSP may contact business@focusonenergy.com to schedule the RSP training. New Trade Allies must first apply by completing the *Trade Ally Application* and will be contacted by Focus on Energy to schedule the training.
Save 16 percent on energy bills* and get a payback within one year.
Retrocommissioning (RCx) is the process of improving the performance and energy efficiency of building systems, equipment, and operations as a whole. The Focus on Energy RCx offering identifies lower cost measures involving adjustments, recalibrations, and process changes to provide quick energy savings paybacks. Through RCx, you can manage energy use more effectively, improve indoor air quality and building occupant comfort, and discover maintenance needs before they become costly repairs.
Incentive Structure
Customers that complete the audit and reduce EUI will receive a minimum base incentive of $0.10 per square foot. Additional incentives up to $0.10 per square foot are available for achieving higher than a 5% reduction in Energy Use Intensity. Review the RCx Enrollment Application for specific incentive details.
How do I get started?
Do you know your Energy Use Intensity (EUI)?
ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager® expresses EUI as energy per square foot per year. Calculate EUI by dividing the total energy consumed by the building in one year (measured in kBtu) by the facility's gross square footage.
Below is a table of Median site EUIs for common property types. A full list can be found at energystar.gov
Market Sector | Property Type | Median Site EUI (kBtu/ft2) |
Education | College/University | 84.3 |
Education | K-12 School | 48.5 |
Food sales and service | Supermarket/Grocery Store | 196 |
Healthcare | Hospital (general medical and surgical) | 234.3 |
