Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency just makes sense. We make it possible.

Aging equipment and deferred maintenance increase operating costs, reduce reliability, and waste energy. Yet many organizations delay critical upgrades because funding is needed elsewhere. And because efficiency improvements can generate measurable savings, they can also help support broader investments in critical infrastructure.

‍

Metrus was founded in 2009 to remove those financial barriers. Through our Energy as a Service solution, we finance, own, and manage energy infrastructure projects without requiring a large upfront investment. We work with leading engineering and construction partners to deliver complete energy efficiency solutions from development through long-term operations.

The benefits of energy efficiency.

Energy efficiency reduces operating costs, improves facility performance, and helps organizations get more from existing energy infrastructure. Lower energy demand can also reduce exposure to rising utility costs while improving the economics of broader infrastructure upgrades.

‍

The benefits extend beyond financial performance. Using less energy reduces the need for power generation, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and supporting long-term sustainability goals. That's why energy efficiency remains an important part of the infrastructure solutions we deliver through Energy as a Service.

How we help our customers improve energy efficiency.

We work with our partners to identify aging, inefficient equipment and develop projects that improve performance while addressing broader infrastructure needs. Our Sustainable Energy Services Agreement (SESA) can bundle multiple technologies, equipment, maintenance, and monitoring into one flexible contract—across individual facilities or an entire portfolio.

‍

Typical upgrades include:

• Interior and exterior LED lighting
• Chillers and boilers
• Building management systems
• Building envelope improvements
• HVAC fans
• Low-flow water fixtures

Energy efficiency measures can also be bundled with larger cooling and heating systems, central plant upgrades, on-site solar, and battery storage through the same SESA.

How Energy as a Service makes greater energy efficiency possible.

Metrus pioneered the Energy as a Service model in 2009, bringing financing, ownership, and long-term performance into a single service structure. Through our Energy as a Service solution, we fund project development, construction, and long-term operations without requiring a large upfront investment from the customer.

‍

We own the infrastructure and take responsibility for long-term project performance, while service payments are tied to measured savings or delivered performance. Whether your organization is focused on aging infrastructure, rising energy costs, operational performance, sustainability, or resilience, Metrus removes the financial, technical, and operational barriers to energy efficiency improvements.
