SERVICES

FROM ENERGY CODE AND MODELING TO AUDITS AND RETRO-COMMISSIONING, WE SUPPORT THE ENTIRE BUILDING LIFE CYCLE

SUSTAINABILITY CONSULTING

VCA Green is one of the deepest sustainability teams in the nation, offering building lifecycle services, a widely credentialed workforce, and expertise across multiple markets and building sectors. Our growing presence nationwide positions us as a trusted partner in sustainable building practices from entitlement to asset retirement.

Our sustainability professionals are trained in carbon accounting, carbon auditing, data management, GHG emissions calculations, and data assurance to improve asset valuation and stakeholder engagement for corporate social responsibility.

CODE & DISCLOSURE COMPLIANCE

VCA Green takes an accurate and comprehensive approach to ENERGY STAR® benchmarking that ensures meaningful performance data for disclosure compliance, building performance standards (BPS), and corporate climate disclosures.

From code compliance to ongoing energy reporting, our deep experience in building design and operations bridges the theory of energy performance with practical solutions that improves efficiency and asset value.

ENERGY & WATER AUDITS

VCA Green’s ASHRAE energy and water audits ensure quality on-site inspection, survey, and analysis of your property and its performance. Thorough comprehensive reports and consultations, our team evaluates existing building systems and recommends opportunities to improve the efficiency of assets and meet building performance requirements.

PERFORMANCE TESTING

Performance testing verifies that every energy-consuming system operates as designed to meet local energy code requirements before a certificate of occupancy is issued, avoiding compliance penalties. Our team coordinates field testing alongside the construction schedule so compliance never becomes a last-minute obstacle.

We provide commissioning, enhanced commissioning, and acceptance testing services across mechanical, electrical, and envelope systems. From triggering the right tests at the right phase to coordinating with the authority having jurisdiction, we manage the entire field compliance process so design intent translates into verified, documented performance.

GREEN CERTIFICATIONS

Qualifying for the world’s leading building certifications makes a financial impact. These prestigious, data-based accolades help buildings meet sustainability goals, gain a competitive edge in the market, and reduce operating expenses.

Having certified millions of square feet worth of projects, our in-house staff is trained to deliver services for LEED®, BREEAM®, GreenPoint Rated, Sustainable SITES Initiative®, TRUE Zero Waste, Fitwel® and ENERGY STAR®.

ENERGY MODELING

Energy modeling allows project teams to evaluate the project’s anticipated energy consumption and model alternative energy-saving solutions.

Through enhanced energy modeling, VCA Green has saved clients from $200k to $1.5 million in construction hard costs. We consider construction practices, first costs, and the impacts of energy system design in the operations phase.

PROJECT CONSULTING

Capital improvement projects require more than the right technology — they require a trusted advocate managing every moving part on the owner’s behalf. Our owner representatives act like a member of your team, supporting the full improvement process from scoping through installation, securing available utility and federal incentives, managing PACE financing, and ensuring every project is positioned to maximize return.

From lighting and HVAC retrofits to solar PV and real-time energy monitoring, we oversee the implementation of building upgrades resulting in a streamlined process where owners can remain focused on their assets while we manage the complexity of contractors, incentive deadlines, and performance from start to finish.

We help commercial real estate owners reduce their operating costs and increase property value by providing custom solutions to complex building performance challenges and sustainability goals. From office buildings and multi-family units to retail and industrial complexes, our firm helps owners of new and existing buildings comply with energy and water efficiency laws throughout the nation.
