About
For most manufacturers and commercial properties, productivity is a key ingredient for profitability.
An input to productivity is indoor environmental quality (IEQ). Excess energy consumption not only has an impact on profitability, but also, more often than not, negatively impact occupants’ comfort.
Many new buildings are built and designed with energy-efficiency in mind, but well-intentioned they may be, even these buildings may not be maintained properly or optimized for energy use or occupant comfort during initial commissioning. From poor lighting design to un-optimized HVAC equipment and building automation systems, utility costs can add up quickly, employees can be less productive, all resulting in slimmer margins and poor company performance over time.
2017-2021 Xcel Energy Efficiency Award Recipient

2020 CenterPoint Energy Trade Ally of the Year Award: Recommissioning
CenterPoint awarded SES the Trade Ally of the Year in the Recommissioning Program. CenterPoint expects high quality energy efficiency measures and we deliver year after year.
Recommissioning/Retrocommissioning can provide building owners and manufacturers with quick, inexpensive ways to reduce their long-term energy costs and carbon emissions by restoring a building back to its original, intended operation. Studies have shown that careful analysis of a building’s existing environmental systems, a thorough study can typically help reduce utility costs from anywhere from 5% to 95%.
Green building certifications provide a tangible, measurable way for any building or company to reduce costs and showcase their commitment to sustainable business practices. Our consultants can help you move gracefully through the process from start to finish.
Many state and local governments allow sales tax exemptions on energy and water. Our Sales and Use Tax Exemption Studies have can help manufacturers save significantly on utility bills. Businesses that could help include
- Manufacturing facilities
- Food and beverage processors
- Agricultural operations
- Churches, schools, and other non-profits
Compressed air is typically the most costly utility in a manufacturing or industrial facility. We do more than just leak testing. We evaluate and process consumption, optimize the compressed air supply system, help reduce overall demand.
The equipment and systems that monitor and maintain the environment inside of a building are often the biggest sources of energy consumption and loss over time. With increasing concerns over high energy costs, making sure that these systems run at peak efficiency is becoming more and more important.
Whether it’s new construction or an existing renovation, lighting is a visible component that cannot be overlooked. We maximize utility rebates while designing systems that will provide the light levels necessary. We do it using the fewest watts possible. Fluorescent, LED, LEC, and other light emitting technologies all play a role in an optimized lighting system.
Office spaces, for example, need not exceed 1.0 Watt per square foot. In fact, we’ve designed systems as low as 0.4 Watts per square foot while providing superior lighting quality.
Indoor air quality and its effect on your occupants is one of the most important factors to be mindful of when maintaining any building. Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) can often lead to “sick building syndrome,” increased risk of tenant loss, and even litigation. SES can help you identify and resolve any IAQ issues. through careful analysis of your facility’s existing systems.
Whether you’re building a new manufacturing line or optimizing machine components for a packaging process, SES, Inc. provides design services to facilitate fabrication and installation in your plant. Our designers work with the major platforms of modeling software to meet your design requirements.
Through a combination of finely-tuned instrumentation and experience, SES, Inc. can help building owners test and balance their building’s environmental systems to help reduce energy consumption, reduce or eliminate areas of extreme hot or cold, and help diagnose and make repairs to existing equipment.

We serve owners and property managers as an industry partner of IREM.
Slashing costs for better savings isn’t something that only commercial and industrial buildings have to think about. Multi-family complexes and apartment buildings need to be periodically recommissioned and analyzed from time-to-time to ensure that their energy consumption is kept at optimum levels.
Potential savings from reduced electric and natural-gas usage, can come as a result from retrofits like more efficient lighting, air- and water-heating systems, and better monitoring and management of internal building systems. And, much like commercial and industrial spaces, residential complexes can see utilities costs drop by as much as 50%.
Most importantly of all, we’ll take a big picture look at your building so that you see greater savings over time without sacrificing the comfort of your tenants.
