当社のエネルギーおよびレジリエンスサービス

Ensuring Energy Efficiency and Regulatory Compliance

Complying with urban energy auditing requirements can be complex and time-consuming. Rimkus can help building owners navigate compliance challenges with comprehensive energy auditing services and energy efficiency strategies. We have the expertise and experience to help our clients meet their current and future energy goals without compromising profitability.

Valuable Energy Insight

Rimkus has extensive experience performing ASHRAE Level 1 Walk-through Audits and Level 2 Detailed General Audits. This information is useful when applying for LEED recertification or for developing strategies to reduce the building’s carbon footprint and operational costs. Our in-house expert construction estimators can provide reliable budget estimates and cost/benefit analyses through our experience projecting energy use patterns and utility rates.

Implementing Smart Solutions

Once we’ve identified opportunities for improving energy efficiency, the Rimkus team can work with owners and operators to design and implement cost-effective solutions. Our Certified Energy Managers work with clients to develop a road map for improving efficiency and complying with applicable energy regulations. This includes maintaining ENERGY STAR building portfolios, equipment replacement evaluations, and working with gas and electric utility companies to obtain the largest rebates and incentive payments.

炭素を削減しながら建物価値を高める

リムクスは何十年にもわたってグリーンデザインの支持者でした。当社の多数のLEED認定専門家は、米国グリーンビルディング評議会(USGBC)で非常に活発に活動しており、最新のグリーンデザイン戦略に関する技術を開発および共有しています。

グリーンデザインをオーナーのビジョンにつなげる

持続可能性と潜在的なLEED認証は、常に所有者の不動産の戦略的計画の文脈で見なければなりません。建物の市場性、テナントののれん、運用コスト、制度の進歩など、所有者にとってのメリットは、LEED認証に関連する管理コストを含む材料費と人件費と比較検討する必要があります。環境面での大きなメリットと運用コストの節約は、正式なLEED認証の有無にかかわらず、持続可能な設計と建築の実践を通じて達成できます。

サステナビリティ領域を超えたサービス

Rimkusチームは、新築(NC)、商業インテリア(CI)、コア&シェル(CS)、既存建物(EBOM)など、USGBCマトリックス全体にわたる数多くのLEEDプロジェクトに携わってきました。開発や既存の建物にLEEDを検討しているクライアントのために、Rimkusは社内で完了できる独自の三相ソリューションを開発しました。

Smoke control systems are critical life safety systems in high-rise buildings, mandated by the International Business Code (IBC). To ensure their effectiveness, these systems must be inspected and recertified on an annual basis, or more often in some jurisdictions. Rimkus can help clients comply with building safety and code requirements through comprehensive testing and certification services.

Our consultants have fire protection credentials, mechanical systems expertise, and extensive knowledge of applicable codes and standards to perform thorough testing of all types of smoke control systems, including both pressurization and exhaust systems. We have a deep, technical understanding of smoke control systems design and operations, enabling us to effectively diagnose problems and provide cost-effective remedies.

Rimkus can also provide code-mandated special inspections of life safety systems for new construction. Our fire protection experts and mechanical and electrical engineers can verify that all components of life safety systems meet applicable codes and standards, and that the systems are properly installed, tested, and certified.
