Since 1902, Wasserstrom has provided foodservice operators with quality products from the industry’s leading manufacturers. The project to renovate a 50,000 square foot building and convert it into their head quarters needed an energy audit to establish Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) funding.
“We hired Energility to conduct an energy audit before beginning our renovations. They quantified the energy savings from our design and provided recommendations for our contractors to install during the construction. Then after the construction, they came back and confirmed that our systems were commissioned and operating as they were designed. Our headquarters has achieved ENERGY STAR® certification.”
