14. Market attitudes toward energy “A couple of years ago rent appreciation had a major impact on asset values. Operating costs were not at the top of building owner’s priority list. Today, as rent growth has slowed, reducing operating costs can have a significant impact on the value of a building. Energy efficiency has now become a priority.”- Mark Fitkin, CB Richard Ellis

15. If it’s so obvious……..

16. Common myths about energy • Not a controllable cost • Requires capital investment • My building’s fine. I’m not wasting much. • Savings are always less than promised

17. Other concerns of facilities managers • Don’t have the time to dedicate to it • Lack the required skills • Emergencies always get in the way

18. Why HVAC? • Your access to underserved market • You know and understand major energy-consuming systems in buildings • You’re in buildings every day

19. Where the market is heading All sorts of players coming to building owners with promise of $ savings • Utility bill auditors • Insurance co’s • Financial consultants • Elevator manufacturers (and other OEMs)

20. Where the market is heading Need to differentiate and to show value • Benchmark to immediately show your aptitude • Low- and no-cost savings to prove your value • Propose projects using ROI of energy savings • Prove savings with ongoing meter monitoring

21. Keys to selling energy services Talk to financial decision-maker Speak their language: ROI Compare their options for them

22. Speaking the right language • State your benefit - as a solution to problem they’ve indicated they have (i.e. high operating costs) • Quantify the benefit (10% of 100k annual energy spend is $10k, this is the minimum we can save you) • State this economic benefit in • Payback period • ROI

23. How to sell the VALUE of energy Educate them on their options Lay out the complete value picture so they can assess true costs & benefits

33. Let’s replace myths with reality

34. Replace myths with reality • Myth: My building is fine, we can’t be wasting that much • Replace: Energy Benchmarking to show them exactly how much

35. Replace myths with reality • Myth: Capital spending required • Replace: Propose low- and no-cost energy savings measures

36. Replace myths with reality • Myth: Savings are always over-promised • Replace: Don’t over-promise. SHOW the financial payback info, then prove the ongoing savings

37. Key takeaways • Be systematic but patient • Don’t swing for the fences every time • Start with a pilot, then take to other buildings • Be proactive, and do in small steps • Then use the savings instead of the capital budget to fund the next step • Get paid to prospect • Explain a process to your clients & prospects • Don’t just heave promises of energy savings at them. They get enough of this.
