OPERATIONS + MAINTENANCE

Utilizing expert technicians across the United States, we support ongoing service and maintenance, including 24/7 availability. Whether you require routine maintenance or consultation regarding a new area of concern, Bernhard is readily available for the lifetime of your building.

Bernhard’s measurement and verification is structured to capture the effect of multiple variables on energy consumption. We analyze energy use for the whole building rather than focusing on the area or systems affected by a project. This gives you a complete picture of your facility’s consumption and savings. Last year, our expert analysts measured $14,761,000 in energy savings.
