SERVICES
Facility Engineering and Project Development for Better Facility Decisions
Setpoint helps facility owners understand existing conditions, evaluate options, develop practical projects, coordinate implementation, and verify results. Our services can address a focused technical need or provide continuity from the initial problem through project completion.
Facility Performance
Understand what is happening before deciding what to do.
Facility problems are not always caused by the most obvious piece of equipment. Setpoint evaluates building systems, energy use, operating conditions, and capital needs to help owners understand current performance and identify the issues that deserve attention.
Typical services include:
- Facility performance assessments
- Energy and utility analysis
- HVAC and building system investigations
- Operational performance reviews
- Energy conservation opportunity identification
- Capital needs prioritization
- Facility and portfolio planning
- Existing system troubleshooting
- Performance benchmarking and trend analysis
Outcome:
A clearer understanding of facility performance, risks, opportunities, and priority needs.
Technical Advisory
An experienced technical perspective on important owner decisions.
Owners are often asked to make significant technical and financial decisions based on information developed by contractors, vendors, designers, or project teams. Setpoint provides objective engineering support to help owners evaluate that information, ask the right questions, and make informed decisions.
Typical services include:
- Contractor and vendor proposal review
- Energy performance contract/ESCO proposal and savings review
- Design and technical document review
- Equipment and system alternatives evaluation
- Procurement support
- Scope review and clarification
- Owner’s technical representation
- Technical meeting participation
- Cost, risk, and performance evaluation
- Implementation and construction-phase advisory
- Technical due diligence
Outcome:
Better-informed decisions and stronger protection of the owner’s technical and financial interests.
Project Development
Turn facility needs into projects that can actually move forward.
Identifying a problem is only the beginning. Setpoint helps owners evaluate alternatives and develop practical project concepts with enough technical and financial clarity to support budgeting, approval, procurement, and implementation.
Typical services include:
- Alternatives analysis
- Feasibility studies
- Conceptual project development
- Preliminary scope development
- Energy and water conservation project development
- Conceptual cost estimating
- Energy and operational savings analysis
- Lifecycle cost evaluation
- Project phasing and implementation planning
- Capital planning support
- Funding and grant technical support
- Procurement-ready scope development
Outcome:
A technically sound and financially understandable project with a clear path toward implementation.
Commissioning & Verification
Confirm that the project delivers what was intended.
A project is not complete simply because the equipment has been installed. Setpoint verifies systems, controls, sequences, and performance to help ensure completed projects operate as intended and address the problems they were designed to solve.
Typical services include:
- New construction commissioning
- Renovation commissioning
- Existing building commissioning
- Controls and sequence verification
- Functional performance testing
- Design and submittal review
- TAB and system performance review
- Trend data analysis
- Measurement and verification
- Post-project performance review
- Troubleshooting and corrective-action support
Outcome:
Documented evidence that systems and projects are operating and performing as intended.
