Flex Optimization
Helping companies create more economic, environmental, and resiliency value for their businesses by identifying, scoping, and executing options to optimize and increase flexible energy capacity in their buildings.
Frequent Customer Challenges
Blueprint Power Solutions
‘Flexible energy capacity’ is the ability of buildings to generate, store, and manage their own energy, by changing the amount (kWh) and timing of electricity sourced from the grid and by using onsite power sources (e.g. solar, generators, EV charging, battery energy storage). By utilizing their buildings’ flexible energy capacity, companies can help close energy supply & demand gaps more quickly, securely, and affordably, and with lower-carbon energy sources.
Existing Flexible Capacity Optimization
Through Building Energy Optimization and Constant Commissioning services, we help our customers identify building operational improvements that aim to increase energy efficiency, reduce energy costs and carbon emissions, and increase flexible capacity for monetization.
New Flexible Capacity Modeling
Blueprint Power runs energy and economic models for adding various configurations of onsite energy capacity (e.g. solar, battery), including identifying federal, state, and local incentives that could be applied.
New Flexible Capacity Support
Depending upon customer needs, we can help customers identify, run requests for proposals, and select third party Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) firms; coordinate EPCs and related vendor services; and provide project and partner relationship support.
Portfolio Energy Roadmapping
We help customers identify and prioritize applicable energy supply and management strategies per their income generation, cost savings, carbon emissions reduction, and energy resiliency objectives. We use qualitative and quantitative input to help organize the portfolio into segments optimized for efficiency by addressing multiple properties at once, centralizing workstreams, and sequencing investments for time/cost/supply chain considerations.
