7 STEP
APPROACH

SmartWatt Energy's all-inclusive turnkey energy-efficiency solutions manage your project from beginning to end and are available for the life of your project and beyond. We honor and respect our customer relationships, and continually focus on improving your experience throughout our 7-Step Approach. We want to be your long-term energy-efficiency partner.

Step 1 Preliminary Commercial Energy Audit and Needs Analysis
After you register for your free commercial energy audit, a SmartWatt Energy auditor will contact you to analyze your facility. This preliminary analysis consists of an inventory of your existing lighting fixtures and an interview process to determine your facility's unique needs and energy-efficiency challenges. Virtually all facilities can benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades, whether in the form of lighting retrofits or comprehensive solutions, which feature lighting retrofits plus additional elements such as control system enhancements or VFD upgrades.

Step 2 Preliminary Savings Proposal
Following your needs analysis, our auditor will prepare a preliminary savings proposal outlining estimates of the energy savings and utility incentives available for your facility, and will present these findings to your team.

Step 3 Customized Value Engineering and Design
Once you commit to move forward in the process, our auditor begins work with our project engineers and construction manager to prepare an in-depth, customized, value-engineered design of your facility. Our project engineers carefully model existing light levels and prepare a photometric analysis to determine the most energy-efficient fixture configuration, while our construction managers verify constructability of the design. The final analysis becomes a blueprint for the installation of energy-efficiency upgrades in your facility, and is included in your comprehensive project proposal.

Step 4 Comprehensive Project Proposal and Payback Analysis
Based on the customized valued-engineered design of your facility, our project engineer provides a comprehensive project proposal and payback analysis for your facility. The proposal includes recommended measures, proposed technologies, exact utility incentives and rebates, available tax deductions and credits and financing options.

Step 5 Project Implementation and Management
Once you commit to move forward in the process, our project engineer schedules the implementation of your energy savings project by our construction team. Our construction manager will manage our electrical crews, and is available at all times during the installation of your project.

Step 6 Measurement and Verification
SmartWatt Energy provides post-installation energy bill analysis, monthly or as needed, explaining why and how much you are saving on your energy bill as a result of the energy-efficiency project. We will also suggest other options available to save more on your energy bill.
