AUB Comprehensive Services Program
Energy Assistance for Industry
AUB's Comprehensive Services Program provides engineering and technical assistance at your site. Depending on the scope of the project, the work can often be performed at a significant savings--often at no chargel--versus hiring a private contractor. The program covers all areas of energy use, including lighting, HVAC, wiring, water heating, industrial processes, load management, and commercial cooking. Call us at (423) 745-4501.

HVAC
HVAC studies examine the sizing of equipment, offer heating-and-cooling-system comparisons, investigate problems with existing systems, and provide recommendations for improvements.
Lighting
Studies provide recommendations for the design of lighting systems in such places as sports fields, roadways, parking lots, and commercial industrial plants.
Metering
We install temporary metering equipment to gather data on facility electrical usage.
Demand-Side Management
Monitoring and testing electrical systems and recommendations related to managing peak demand.
Energy Audits
General survey of energy use in a facility and recommendations on energy management opportunities, process, and facility improvements.
Power Quality
Studies address voltage problems originating inside or outside the facility that adversely affect the end user.
Power Factor
Metering and recommendation to correct for low power factor.
Grounding/Lightning
Grounding study, grounding testing, and lightning-protection recommendations.
Wiring/Electrical Distribution
Studies analyze the facility's distribution system, including the sizing of wiring and equipment, and provide recommendations for system improvement.
Process Recommendations
Examine the procedures for producing a product, such as materials handling, shipping, receiving, product flow, and energy utilization.
Ultrasonic Testing
Locate leaks in water, steam, air, and vacuum systems.
Infrared Scans
Scans of electrical equipment such as transformers, breakers, bus and conductor connections for hot spots, as well as scans for facility heating-and-cooling systems.
Industrial Expansion Services
Assistance in planning for facility expansions, including rates and services available.
Special End-Use Projects
Special projects to meet specific and unique needs of commercial and industrial customers.
Food Services
Examine food storage, preparation, and cooking, with recommendations on equipment, area design, ventilation, and heat reclaim.
Water Heating
Studies explore heat-pump water-heater applications, standard energy-efficient water heaters, and cost comparison of electrical versus fossil-fuel systems.
