Gemini helps business owner better understand their space, gain greater control of their space, and reduce stress in their day to day operations. Gemini achieves this by identifying energy saving solutions for clients and facilitates the realization of those savings by connecting the clients to reputable contractors who can complete the work and identifying financial incentives, rebates, and financing from utility, state, and federal resources.
Our core service is an energy assessment of the client’s space. Energy is based on power and runtime. Conservation measures involve reducing the runtime of an appliance, equipment, or lights. Efficiency measures involve reducing the power required for the appliance, equipment, or lights to perform the task. Our energy assessment determines the conservation or efficiency measures available based on what is currently there and what are reasonable replacements available in the market. To achieve this our field analyst completes an inventory of the space and leaves sensors to measure the runtime of appliances, equipment, and lights. The on-site review can take several hours depending on the size and number items in the space. The sensors are left on-site for a minimum of one week to determine the operation schedule of the site.
