May is Clean Air Month, so we are sharing six thin

May is Clean Air Month, so we are sharing six things to do to improve air quality, both indoors and outdoors.

Clean Air Month has been celebrated in association with the American Lung Association every May since 1994, but its roots are in Clean Air Week which started in 1972. Poor air quality, whether indoor or outdoor, has negative effects on health. Dirty air is linked to allergies, asthma, bronchitis, and cancer.

Recognizing this month is one way that business owners can consistently improve things for themselves and their employees. When you consult with us, we can help you improve your indoor air quality, increase employee health and satisfaction, and lower energy costs.

Over the last few months, HES staff member, Deng,

Over the last few months, HES staff member, Deng, has volunteered to teach students at SUNY @maritimecollege School of Engineering. We encourage our staff to volunteer their time, and Deng chose this project because he wanted to give back to his alma mater. This is his third time helping SUNY students!

The project conducted a VRF Retrofit Decarbonization Study for an East Coast Police Department. Deng and the students prepared an engineering analysis and technical report detailing the financial feasibility and GHG reduction potential of the VRF retrofit.

Decarbonization projects are integral to demonstrating the feasibility of deep carbon reduction for police departments everywhere.

We are proud of our employees who volunteer their time in whatever way they can. Thank you, Deng!

At HES, we leverage our current expertise for the future generations.

📊 We believe if you Benchmark today, you will s

📊 We believe if you Benchmark today, you will save for tomorrow! 💰

Benchmarking is our service that allows you to identify underperforming buildings to target for efficiency. It is important to know how well your building is performing before something serious breaks down; doing so can save you money on replacement costs as well as energy costs.

During this service, we evaluate your building portfolio. We discover the buildings that are working efficiently, or not as efficiently as one thinks. We make several recommendations depending on many variables. That can mean replicating efficiency practices in all buildings or just repairing certain aspects of a building for two examples.

This is also the time to reset your investment priorities, if necessary. If you’re already using Energy Star products, then HES recommends using the built-in tool by Energy Star Portfolio Manager to compare costs across your portfolio.

Using best practices across industries is built into the services we provide. This is because HES's president, Jessica Harris, is a National Green Building Standard (NGBS) Verifier and is also a HERS Rater, which both give her a keen, analytical eye when Benchmarking your buildings. That’s exactly what you need. 👩‍💼🤝👨‍💼

March is Women’s History Month across America an

March is Women’s History Month across America and it’s the perfect time to celebrate those female trailblazers who came before us.

It wasn’t very long ago that women were not allowed to have their own bank accounts, let alone own a business. We are grateful for the brave women who have paved the way for us. While we know that there are many unsung heroines in the fight for gender equality, here are some of our favorites.

1️⃣ Edith Clarke (1883-1959) was the first woman to be professionally employed as an electrical engineer in the United States as a supervisor at General Electric. While there, she invented the Clarke calculator (an early graphing calculator). In 1947, she joined the faculty of the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Texas at Austin, making her the first female professor of electrical engineering in the country.

2️⃣ Marie Curie (1867-1934) was a physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research in radioactivity. She was also the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win it twice, and the only person so far to win a Nobel Prize in two separate scientific fields.

3️⃣ Mary Ellen Pleasant (1814-1904) was the first self-made millionaire of African American heritage. As an entrepreneur, her goal was to earn money to help others. She was often referred to as a “one-woman social agency,” because she would not only provide food, housing, and transportation for those less fortunate, but she would train those individuals to become self-sufficient as well.

Who are your favorite female trailblazers from the past or present, and why? Let’s amplify their stories.

HES President & WBE Owner, Jessica, and others fro

HES President & WBE Owner, Jessica, and others from the NJ Clean Cities Coalition recently spoke to U.S. Congress members in support of the East Coast Commercial ZEV Corridor Project at the 2023 Energy Independence Summit.

This project launches an intensive strategic planning effort to spur the deployment of commercial medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure along the I-95 freight corridor from Georgia to New Jersey. Efforts such as these have a long-lasting impact on the East Coast commercial sector (which indirectly touches just about every state in America).

Meeting with local representatives ensures that policies are created to support a more sustainable future.

Raise your hand if you love a good Building Commis

Raise your hand if you love a good Building Commissioning? ✋✋ We definitely do here at HES and here’s why!

So many business or building owners never think about how their building systems are operating once the building is complete and occupied. Let’s be honest: you’re busy running the company, right? Until you’re busy trying to fix a problem because one of the systems shut down.

That’s why we love Building Commissioning. This proactive service saves you the trouble of scrambling to fix something that is already broken. Instead, you’re able to get ahead of the problem before it becomes a problem. That kind of thinking and planning is something engrained in us here at HES.

We have our Certified Commissioning Agents here to ensure that clients receive an unbiased, objective view of the building system’s installations, operation, and performance. We confirm that mechanical systems have been installed per the contract documents and operate within the energy-efficient performance guidelines set out in the Owners Project Requirements and the Basis of Design.

👩‍💼👨‍💼 You need to focus on running your company; let us focus on your building systems. 👷‍♂️👷‍♀️

Did you hear that Punxsutawney Phil predicts six m

Did you hear that Punxsutawney Phil predicts six more weeks of winter? 👀❄⛄

To celebrate, we are sharing some of our favorite energy efficiency tips for business owners! If you think about it, these are good tips for homeowners, too.

🌡 Lower your thermostat temperature during non-working hours. One of the top ways that businesses waste money in the winter is by heating unoccupied spaces. If no one is there, there’s no need to keep the space comfortable.

🕯 Reduce or replace out-of-date, inefficient lighting, inside or outside. If the lighting isn’t in place for a historical reason, we recommend updating lighting (fixtures or bulbs) and utilizing LEDs as much as possible. They’re simply the most efficient option currently.

💡 Install occupancy sensors. New buildings require them, while older ones do not. If your building doesn’t have them, they are an inexpensive investment into the efficiency of your building (which will result in lower energy bills).

👷‍♀️ Conduct an energy audit to evaluate existing systems and efficient alternatives. This is a key service we provide because it truly helps businesses to save money and be more sustainable. We are also familiar with rebates and incentives in all of our service areas, and the energy audit is the perfect time to get those.

HES is here to help you find energy solutions, regardless of the season. From sustainability to profits, we account for everything.

PS: We heard that Punxsutawney Phil is only right 40% of the time, so be ready for all seasons. 😎

Can you guess which state uses one of the least am

Can you guess which state uses one of the least amounts of energy per capita? I’ll give you some time to think…

3️⃣…

2️⃣…

1️⃣ !

Ready or not, it’s New York State!

New York consumes less total energy per capita than all but two other states (Hawaii & Rhode Island). Although New York City has been the most populous city in the USA since 1790, the state as a whole is mostly rural and energy efficient! Is this a surprise to you?

In 2021, New York was 5th in the nation regarding electricity generated from renewable resources. The State currently operates under the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which requires 70% renewable electricity by 2030 and 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040.

📢📢 We are a certified Women Business Enterprise (WBE) with the New York State Department of Economic Development, Division of Minority and Women's Business Development (DMWBD)! We provide Energy Efficiency Inspections, Energy Consulting, and Energy Assistance Programs!

Let's work together to meet those goals and keep New York State at the top with energy efficiency. 🤝🤝
