PROJECT MANAGEMENT
End-to-end owner representation streamlines capital improvements, incentives, financing, and performance from planning through completion.
Energy Efficiency, Retrofits, and Capital Improvement Projects Increase Asset Performance and Value
VCA Green manages energy and water efficiency projects throughout a building’s lifecycle, from early design through project implementation by working with trusted partners to implement technology-driven solutions. As owner representatives, we act as a member of the team, advocating for the building owner’s needs and overseeing capital improvements. Our in-house certified energy managers (CEM) and energy modelers optimize building upgrades to perform as efficiently as possible. After implementation, we provide post-installation measurements and verification (M&V) and on-going analysis, as well as identify incentive programs to fund the project costs. Planning your property’s efficiency throughout its entire lifecycle will help you meet compliance with local ordinances and reduce operating costs. High-performing buildings have stronger market value, higher tenant retention, and improved conditions for occupants.
Our Fee Largely Pays for Itself.
Once the project is scoped, we recommend a menu of services and vetted partners to complete your project team and deliver on asset goals. For each VCA Green partner selected, we rebate the referral fee back to you, maximizing project returns.

Focus Areas
Modernization & Retrofit
As the building ages, modernizing the building systems through capital improvement projects such as LED lighting and HVAC retrofits and retro-commissioning (RCx) will grow your NOI and drive long-term value. Tax incentives and financing programs can often fund large percentages of the project costs.
Building Resilience
For additional energy savings, and to save on Time-Of-Use (TOU) charges, we can combine solar PV and battery storage solutions to reach your zero energy goals. High-efficiency buildings reduce ongoing operational costs and differentiate the building in competitive leasing markets.
Project Economics
We determine what incentives and financing options are available, then continue by managing the application processes on your behalf. Taking advantage of utility and tax incentives can offset project costs, helping you pay for energy efficiency measures that improve asset value and reduce operational expenses.
