Energy Service Companies (ESCOs)Mason Engineering, Inc.
General Information:Mason Engineering has been designing energy management systems since 1983. With a focus on HVAC systems and lighting retrofits, Mason Engineering uses its engineering experience to design comprehensive energy and water conservation programs and upgrades for its clients. Through performance contracting, Mason Engineering enables its customers to reduce their energy consumption and energy bills with no upfront capital investment.
Recent projects:Recent Colorado projects of note include the Embassy House, Lido, and LaFontana condominium complexes located in Denver. These high-rise buildings, with 90 to 100 units each, were retrofitted with energy-efficient HVAC controls and lighting fixtures. Boiler efficiency was increased, carbon monoxide controls were added for parking garage ventilation, and variable frequency drives were added to pumps and fans to control speeds and reduce energy demand. Use of savings guarantees:Clients enter into a performance contract agreement with Mason Engineering to design, install, monitor, and maintain building energy efficiency upgrades. Mason Engineering takes on all risk associated with the performance of the energy efficiency measures. Upgrades are financed, with no up-front cost to the customer, through system energy savings, with a percentage going to pay for the improvements and the customer receiving the balance. Contract lengths are variable. Financing options:Mason Engineering offers clients a shared savings program with variable terms available for repayment. No up-front costs are required of clients, and customers also have the right to early-purchase system upgrades. Contracts may be extended beyond the original agreement if the customer chooses. This assures that equipment and savings are maintained, and gives the customer the added advantage of access to a professional engineer to advise them on HVAC concerns and to train new staff on their own equipment.
