9 Program Benefit Analysis
COMMON SENSE ENERGY EFFIECIENCY
RS provides a comprehensive analysis of your facility
and generates specific, common sense proposals and
options for your implementation.
EPAct FEDRAL TAX DEDUCTION
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005/179/D)
This provides a significant tax deduction for organizations
that meet energy efficiency guidelines for lighting, HVAC
systems, and building envelope. The savings can be as
high as $1.80 per square foot. RS affiliates have the
knowledge, expertise and Federal Certification to assist
you in meeting the ASHRAE standards required to obtain
the deduction.

Up to $126,000 deduction per project.
EPAct of 2005/45L
Condominiums, apartments, residences and dormitories
may be eligible to receive a $2,000 per unit credit for
meeting energy efficiency guidelines for lighting, HVAC
systems and building envelope.
FACILITY ENERGY AUDIT (FEA)
RS offers a thorough review of your utility costs to evaluate
potential savings. Even though these expenses are
perceived as “fixed,” a number of actions can be taken to
reduce these costs as well as identify recurring errors and
overcharges.
UTILITY ANALYSIS
Rate reductions and Bill Payment Analysis.
Many states offer a deregulated electricity supply, which
can translate into substantial electricity savings. Working
with an affiliate partner, RS affiliates secure lower utility
rates and provide clients a way to eliminate late fees and
reduce/eliminate deposits on new utility accounts.
LIGHTING DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE
RS affiliates provide design consultation services, enabling
clients to build or retrofit structures that minimize energy
consumption, reduce replacement expenses, and ensure
compliance with current and anticipated equipment and
efficiency standards.
COST SEGRAGATION
Clients reclassifying depreciable assets in new or recently
remodeled buildings can generate tax savings of up to
$230,000 for every $1 million of property value.
CARBON REDUCTION CERTIFICATION
RS utilizes fully certified carbon strategy providers. This
certification qualifies our team to establish your carbon
footprint for individual or multiple facilities to determine
foundation for carbon management strategy.
RS offers assistance in ENERGY STAR
Certification. Specializing in Energy Efficiency, RS affiliate
teams of engineers are certified to help you.
ENERGY STAR makes your building project affordable,
comfortable and durable.
GRANT OPPORTUNITIES AND INCENTIVES
RS becomes your grant writer
Every year, grants are offered by federal agencies which
award up to several million dollars for companies to make a
“green initiative”. These federal programs are offered to
companies who upgrade or construct buildings with energy
efficient products
Similar financing comes from state/counties/cities/local
utilities that offer incentives, rebates, and tax incentives to
not only have companies “go green”, but for companies
who stimulate their local economies with energy efficiency
and job creation in low income and rural areas.
Richman Surrey will review your energy usage to ensure that you’re not paying any more than
you need – without sacrificing comfort, aesthetics or safety. We rigorously investigate all areas
where waste can be eliminated, efficiencies can be generated, and costs reduced.
