Companies Combine Technology and Auditing Expertise to Improve Buildings’ Environmental Performance LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TRIRIGA®, the leading provider of real estate lifecycle management software, and Metro Energy Solutions, a full-service consulting, engineering and design build firm specializing in energy efficiency, today announced a partnership designed to help clients manage their energy-saving initiatives. By combining Metro Energy’s energy audits and implementation services with TRIRIGA software, companies can focus on buildings to improve environmental performance and reduce operating costs. Metro Energy conducts investment-grade energy audits that take inventory of the amount of power a company’s mechanical and electrical equipment consumes. Based on these audits, Metro Energy identifies energy conservation measures that will reduce energy demand, and then provides engineering and construction management services for the implementation of necessary energy saving programs. Metro Energy will complement its consulting and auditing services with TREES™ (TRIRIGA Environmental Real Estate Sustainability), the industry’s first software to measure, manage and reduce exact levels of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from buildings. TRIRIGA has worked with over one-third of Fortune 100 companies and developed TREES to address the fact that buildings present the single-greatest opportunity to improve both energy efficiency and operating costs. TRIRIGA’s partnership with Metro Energy presents an ideal solution for clients who are serious about improving energy efficiency and achieving measurable financial returns from their environmental investments. “Our facility assessments are very thorough, and the reports we generate are great tools to help customers understand how to ensure the best return on investment,” said Dominick Aiello, president and CEO of Metro Energy. “Now, with TRIRIGA’s TREES software, we not only present clients with a complete inventory of energy costs, but also provide technology that lets us constantly update, measure, evaluate and improve performance.” “As good as our software is, and we’ve been told by our customers that our product is the most powerful tool they’ve seen, nothing really matters until the customer takes a complete, painstaking inventory of what each facility consumes, and how it consumes the energy,” said Roger Rittenhouse, executive vice president for TRIRIGA. “Metro Energy Solutions has a long, proven track record of performing complete investment-grade audits, and we’re thrilled to be able to complement their services with our smart, powerful software.” TRIRIGA and Metro Energy deliver the combined solution necessary to design and implement energy-saving programs from start to finish, and this solution will help companies save time, maximize investments and achieve their corporate sustainability goals.
