Using Guaranteed Energy Savings to Improve Facilities and Infrastructure

Your challenges

• Funding capital improvements
• Aging facilities and infrastructures
• Increasing energy and operating costs
• Decreasing revenue streams
• Growing resource demands
• Tenant comfort issues

ABM understands that facilities have been experiencing a capital shortfall for nearly a decade that has led to reduced spending on infrastructure. In addition to the lack of available capital, administrations and managing bodies have been faced with tremendous financial pressures as a result of increasing demand on decreasing revenues. This has led most communities to cut services and staff as their only means to balance budgets.

ABM’s solutions

ABM guarantees energy savings with a comprehensive suite of efficiency upgrades and facility modernization, including HVAC, lighting, infrastructure, controls, and more. With an energy performance contract (EPC), we can address both the facility and funding needs of our clients. Our expertise in both public and private finance and energy solutions provides us with the unique ability to collaboratively work with clients to help them overcome budget challenges. With an EPC, our clients can improve facilities — and benefit from those improvements — using funds already committed to their existing budget. The guaranteed energy savings create the capital needed to fund the improvements.
