We find billing errors/savings 98% of the time. The severity of the errors is the unknown. In today’s marketplace, companies, organizations and government entities can’t afford to waste money in needless ways. And, the blatant reality is that billing errors are at an all-time high. Furthermore, it’s interesting, and rather odd, that the billing errors we find happen to be 90%+ of the time in favor of the provider. A comprehensive energy and telecom bill audit leads to maximum expense reduction or containment. Since our inception, we have successfully audited more than 10,000 utility and telecom accounts nationwide. In 2008 alone, we have managed over $325m in energy spending. Because we work for you and not the utility companies or government, your bottom line results are our only focus. In addition, since electricity rate caps are currently expiring in Pennsylvania and other states, we can now shop for our local client’s electricity needs and assist them to secure the best available price. For more information, contact bill_audits@princetongreen.org.
We have found that utility and telecom bills are intentionally designed to be difficult to read and analyze. Intimate expertise is required to be proficient at gaining clarity as to whether you're being billed accurately.

pg.building audits ways to find, save and make you money.
Energy Incentive Audits The current federal tax laws enable companies to take advantage of underutilized incentive dollars. Federal tax benefits of up to $1.80 per square foot may apply for energy-efficient initiatives that occurred in buildings placed into service after January 1, 2006 are eligible. This means that many of our clients qualify for retroactive tax incentives, in which through proper auditing and documentation, enables them to take a tax deduction for energy-related retrofits that occurred in the past. What are the requirements? • Must reduce total annual energy and power costs with respect to the interior lighting, systems, heating, cooling, ventilation and hot water systems by 50%, but partial deductions are allowed. • Energy simulation is required to justify the deduction
• Inspection and testing must be completed by a qualified engineer or contractor registered in the jurisdiction
How much is the deduction? • Maximum deduction - $1.80 per ft2 equals 50% reduction in total annual energy and power costs (compared to a reference building that meets the minimum requirements of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2001); not to exceed the amount equal to the cost of energy efficient commercial building property placed in service during the taxable year
• Partial deduction - $.60 per square foot = 16 2/3% reduction for building envelope, HVAC and service hot water systems and lighting
• Partial deduction (interim lighting) - $.30 – .60 per ft2 = 25 – 40% reduction in lighting power density (50% in case of warehouse)
What qualifies? • Commercial buildings (any size) • Apartments, four+ stories, for lease
What do I get from a 179D review? • FTD certificate package - requires documentation for deduction
• Commercial energy renovations Who qualifies for the deduction? • Building owner at the time of building improvements
• Provide review of existing T-24 or IECC to verify compliance with current code requirements
• Public buildings – the owner may allocate the deduction to the designer (architect, engineer, contractor, environmental consultant or energy services provider) for the tax year that includes the date the property is placed in service
• Contract for analysis and certification documentation How do I claim the deduction? • The deduction is taken on the “Other Deductions” line of the taxpayer's return
What is the time frame for eligibility? • Units must be completed or renovated after December 31, 2005 but before January 1, 2014
• Review building lighting, HVAC and envelope systems for Federal Tax Deduction qualification
• Energy compliance documents for lighting, HVAC and envelope (Title 24 or IECC)
• Tax returns may be amended going back three consecutive tax years We will provide you with a summary of compliance, Department of Energy-certified software, and engineer or contractor verification documentation. According to your preference, we will provide all documentation in either paper or electronic format.
• EnergyPro File - computer file used to generate T-24 documentation

Cost Segregation Audits Over 300 rulings, letters and IRS Memoranda have provided documentation and significant case law for the support of Cost Segregation Studies. Hospital Corporation of America vs. The Commissioner is one of the landmark decisions which gave support to the way we review and analyze properties to determine the tangible personal property that may qualify for depreciated lives of 5, 7, or 15 years rather than 39 years (if non-residential real property) or 27.5 years (if residential real property). Even if you are presently depreciating certain property in an accelerated manner, you may still be leaving money on the table.
Engineering-Based Report We have aligned with a professionally licensed engineering firm with over 80 years of combined experience in engineering-related tax services. The firm meets all the required elements as required by the IRS.
Core Competency Our partner firm is a dedicated engineering firm that focuses strictly on engineered tax services, including cost segregation studies, energy tax certification studies, energy audit and related building appraisal reports. They do all the work in-house by trained employees and do not outsource their work. We are confident in our partner firm’s understanding of the tax ramifications that must be considered when performing cost segregation or energy tax studies as they relate to the issues of recapture, passive activity limitations and the intricate steps involved in 1031 exchanges.
Professional Insurance The engineering firm insures every report by Lloyds of London for Errors & Omissions which allows them to provide full warranty of all reports in the event of an IRS audit.
Experience Don't be fooled by other firms that claim they can perform cost segregation studies. Many unlicensed engineering firms provide a residual report based on abbreviated methodology and result in significantly less benefits ($17,000 less in average cash benefits per $100,000 in building value). This is not the preferred method by the IRS as outlined in their published Audit Technique Guidelines. Additionally, many firms have jumped into the cost segregation field to remain competitive in the marketplace, but ultimately outsource the work to unlicensed engineering firms. This, unfortunately, often leads to inflated fees for reports that typically don't meet the IRS required elements. Marketing firms have joined up with engineering firms with core competencies in structural work, but without the true expertise in the tax ramifications associated with engineered studies nor the requirements of Circular 230. This scheme leads to unnecessary tax exposure and wrong decisions. Lastly, many companies claim to offer audit defense, but at what expense and exposure to you? You may want to confirm they are a professionally licensed engineering firm with on-staff expertise in audit defense with proper insurance in place. The IRS has raised the scrutiny of cost segregation studies and is paying attention to the providers of these services. Through our alliance, we are confident in our ability to provide you with the highest quality cost segregation studies, with full audit defense, professional insurance and comprehensive reporting.

Energy Efficiency Audits Virtually every building has energy inefficiencies. We specialize in assessing buildings for specific technologies. In addition, our network of independent energy auditors can provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how to elevate the efficiency of your building.
Throughout the princetongreen community there are energy auditing services companies. These expert service companies provide independent energy auditing. This consists of a complete property inspection to identify areas for energy efficiency improvement. They perform an economic analysis of all of their recommendations to determine payback time and total return on investment (ROI). They tend to prioritize those solutions that have the greatest economic impact, while helping the environment. Description of Audit Process: - Walk the building to become familiar with all mechanical systems - Assess all other building characteristics including lighting, envelope and shading - Review 24 months of utility data - Review operating and maintenance practices
Make recommendations that: - Outline cost, benefit and ROI - Limit cash outlay by redirecting dollars already spent - Maximize maintenance and operation efficiencies - Update systems to utilize energy saving technologies - Replace equipment with most energy efficient alternatives Next Steps: Based on the findings of the audit, we may be able to help you in executing the recommendations you decide to embrace. Simply doing an audit, in most cases, is not enough. Rather, taking necessary actions to impact change is required for real savings to occur.Â

Commercial Refrigeration Efficiency We have found that the integration of all of our commercial refrigeration technologies generates a compounded effect as it relates to reducing energy consumption, while expanding the life of the compressors and evaporator motors. All this, while maintaining food safety standards.
Building Automation We have found that most of the energy that is wasted in buildings occurs when people are NOT occupying the space. Elevating the automation through the installation of an energy management system enables automatic setbacks when spaces are unoccupied. In addition, real-time monitoring of water usage saves water and money.
HVAC Efficiency
Long-term, cleaner and more sustainable energy sources are becoming available on a larger scale. Short-term, energy efficiency improvements of today's systems are the quickest, most affordable and effective way to reduce CO2 emissions and save energy.
pg.refrigeration cool technologies for cooling.
Commercial Refrigeration Efficiency We have found that the integration of all of our commercial refrigeration technologies generates a compounded effect as it relates to reducing energy consumption, while expanding the life of the compressors and evaporator motors. * The food temperature simulation device responds to food temperature instead of rapidly changing air temperatures. This reduces the frequency cycles of the compressor, thus saving energy while extending its lifespan. * The unique thermometer reads the temperature of the food instead of rapidly changing air temperatures. This enables the set-point on the thermostat to be fine-tuned, thus maximizing the effectiveness of the food temperature simulation device. * The controller and EC motors dramatically reduces energy consumption by enabling the evaporator fan motors to run at much lower RPMs (revolutions per minute). * The ethylene and humidity filters dramatically improve the shelf-life of food, thus reducing food waste. And, energy savings of up to (an additional) 12% by controlling humidity. By incorporating all of these technologies, you save lots of energy; expand the life of the compressor, evaporator fans, evaporator motors; and dramatically reduce food waste. The R.O.I. (return on investment) on ALL of these technologies are less than 20 months (including installation), and may be less than 12 months (depending kWh rates and local utility incentives).
food temperature thermometer
food temperature simulation device
This unique device gets installed over top of the thermostat probe on a refrigerator or freezer. The material inside the device has been proven by the NSF to mimic the thermal properties of food, which allows the refrigerator or freezer to respond to food temperature instead of rapidly changing air temperatures. By having the refrigerator or freezer respond to food temperatures, the device enables fewer, but longer compressor cycles. "Thermal inertia" is created as food cools for longer periods of time. And, thermal inertia increases the efficiency of the refrigerator or freezer. Another added benefit is that the compressor life is extended due to fewer cycles in a given period of time. In addition, energy savings occurs because it takes much more power to start a compressor than it takes to run it.
Refrigerator thermometers only read the air temperature of the inside of the refrigerator. Though, this unique thermometer is encapsulated in a silicone gel that mimics the properties of food. Now you can monitor the exact temperature of the food, thus reducing food and energy waste. Less food waste lowers the cost of food; lower cost brings in more customers. Supermarkets, convenient stores and restaurants that keep their prices down by reducing waste have a tremendous advantage over those that don't. Using this effective food saving thermometer is one of the simplest and most effective ways to create a competitive advantage.
For more information, contact refrigeration@princetongreen.org.
fan motor speed controllers
This device is a controller that works in conjunction with 2 speed EC (electronically commutated) motors to maximize their efficiency and nearly double the energy savings provided by EC motors alone. The controller functions by sensing the operational status of the cooling system, and controls the speed of the EC evaporator fans. When the thermostat is satisfied and the compressor cycles off, the controller will sense the compressor off cycle and will switch the motors to the slower speed. It does not require a refrigeration specialist for installation. These controllers are available for single-phase refrigerators and freezers, such as those used in convenience stores and restaurants, and for threephase industrial-size refrigerators and freezers. Typical return on investment for a controller/motor system, including cost of installation, is typically under 20 months. In areas where energy costs are high, it can be closer to 12 months. Some utility companies offer incentives for this wonderful innovation.
food hormone & dehydration filters
Ethylene is a natural plant hormone that is given off by fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants. It directly affects their growth, development, ripening and accelerates the ageing process, hereby decreasing quality and shelf life. Having fresh produce in your refrigerators creates a vault of concentrated ethylene. By installing an ethylene filter in your your cooler you will dramatically reduce these high levels of ethylene gas, and therefore, slow down the aging process of your fresh produce while extending its shelf life by 3‐4 times.

pg.solar thermal bring on the heat.
Solar Thermal for Buildings Have you ever felt warm water trickle out of a garden hose that’s been sitting in the sun? If so, then you’ve witnessed solar water heating in action. Now imagine that same water moving slowly though a system specifically designed to heat and store water – that is the essence of solar thermal water heating. People have for centuries used water heated by the sun and stored it for bathing, hand washing, cleaning clothes, heating homes, and much more. The solar thermal systems used today combine the most efficient techniques for capturing the sun’s heat with modern plumbing systems to produce cost effective hot water and reduce the need for gas or electricity to heat water.
For more information, contact solar@princetongreen.org.

pg.promise Our Promise of Performance: savings + incentives will cover cost within 5 years.
Our Promise of Performance is our guarantee that signifies the confidence we have in our recommendations to clients regarding our energy conservation solutions. Many energy companies make strong claims about how their services and/or technologies will save you power and money; but too few of these companies back their claims with their own cash. With respect to our energy conservation technologies, we guarantee they will generate at least an annualized return on investment of 20%, or we'll make up the difference. In essence, the conservation technologies that we recommend will pay for themselves within 5 years, and in most cases it will take less than 3 years. Energy generation technologies are not a part of this promise, as their returns vary greatly based on the specific application and location. And, because current building efficiencies vary, Our Promise of Performance may not apply to every project. Upon conducting a thorough site assessment, or comprehensive energy building audit, we will assess ways for you to save energy, save money and save the planet. Depending upon the percentage of the building we’re addressing and its current level of efficiency, we will determine if your project qualifies, and for which technologies. In any event, you can rest assured that princetongreen.org will always have your best interest in conjunction with our promise to simply save energy. every day.
