Wiegmann Associates and EnergyPrint Launch Joint Venture to Deliver Net-Zero Cost Energy Efficiency Upgrades
ST. LOUIS — Wiegmann Associates, a nationwide Design/Build Contractor whose core business includes energy efficiency upgrades for commercial and industrial buildings, has formed a joint venture with EnergyPrint, an energy analytics software services company based in St. Paul, Minnesota. The new joint venture will enable Wiegmann to monitor and enhance the performance of its projects in real-time using EnergyPrint’s AI enabled continuous re-commissioning software. EnergyPrint will offer Wiegmann’s design-build efficiency upgrades to existing clients at “Net-Zero” cost. EnergyPrint guarantees that the savings will exceed the monthly amortization of building efficiency improvement project costs so that no up-front investment is required.
“Since its founding in 1995, Wiegmann Associates has consistently been a leader and innovator in energy-focused facility system upgrades,” commented Founder Gerry Wiegmann about the joint venture synergy. “This new joint venture with EnergyPrint paves the way for energy-efficiency solutions paid for entirely by energy and maintenance savings.”
EnergyPrint offers keen insight into carbon footprint and potential conservation measures for thousands of buildings. While Wiegmann Associates always projects its clients’ utility-cost project savings, through this joint venture, EnergyPrint will confirm results at the utility meter, using AI software to monitor and enhance HVAC system performance in real time. This ensures the savings are consistent and aids in continuously re-commissioning the client’s facilities.
“Over the 15 years that EnergyPrint has been advising our customers, the average second-year savings has been 12.7 percent. Now, working in partnership with Wiegmann, we will go beyond simply measuring results and advising clients,” said Wade Smith, CEO of EnergyPrint. “By offering to design, install and continuously re-commission efficiency measures at no net cost to customers, our partnership will add funds to client operating budget accounts.”
