Successful projects begin with strategy and planning. DCStrategies helps building owners, architects, contractors and facility professionals manage information, implement policy and integrate new technologies such as BIM and building sensors into their operations. Our solutions encompass all aspects of building performance including energy management, space utilization, security, systems integration, asset management and project collaboration.
Sustainability and Energy

DCStrategies provides advice, assistance, and guidance on energy related projects or initiatives to assist agencies in adhering to energy legislation and policy. Consulting services include:

  • Energy management or strategy
  • Energy program planning and evaluations
  • Energy related studies, analyses, benchmarking and reporting such as feasibility studies, vulnerability assessments, and energy security
  • Assistance in meeting energy efficient building standards such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Green Globes and Energy Star
  • Consulting on carbon emissions trading programs
  • Consulting on greenhouse gas measurement and management
  • Strategic sustainability performance planning
  • Consulting on obtaining high performance sustainable buildings

Effective energy management decisions balance requirements for renewable energy, sustainable energy, and energy efficient buildings certification programs such as LEED with measurable return on investment (ROI) criteria. Information about space utilization, assets and energy usage must be collected, normalized and evaluated collectively to inform an all encompassing view of building operations. We develop visualization tools to help organizations evaluate how and where energy is consumed.
