1. PROJECTS
We identify and help customers access government incentives to improve project ROI.
You have a greenfield (new build) or large expansion and want to ensure the design is as energy efficient as economically feasible. Our Energy Design Review process provides up to 40 percent annual energy savings compared to the baseline design.
You need ways to reduce your energy costs and carbon emissions but your industrial process is complex and most energy management professionals only deal with commercial buildings. Thorn Associates’ professionals have two decades of industrial energy experience. We focus on the largest savings: process energy reductions.
You know what projects you would like to implement to save energy and reduce carbon emissions. Now you need someone to manage your energy efficiency studies and project implementation. Thorn Associates will provide you with one point of contact who will manage the engineering firm and/or industrial contractors. We also act as senior technical quality control experts to ensure that all energy efficiency projects meet design specifications.
You have an EMIS now or you would like to choose an EMIS (dashboard software + energy meters) to reduce energy costs. You need an independent expert who can guide you in developing the business case for having an EMIS, as well as EMIS selection, training, and ongoing use.
You have a complex industrial process that has significant heating and cooling requirements. Rather than do piecemeal heat recovery, consider an integrated, systems-based heat recovery approach (Pinch Analysis). It will save carbon emissions too!
Reducing wasted water, our “blue gold,” is an important part of energy management. We look holistically at the energy and mass balance of your plant to determine where water is being used unnecessarily as well as examining alternative technologies to your current processes that use less water. Cost savings result not only from the cost of water as a commodity but also reduced water treatment costs, reduced water pumping costs, reduced sewer fees, etc.
You are time-starved and lack sufficient resources to take on additional non-core projects, but you know there is a great business case for a specific energy efficiency or renewable energy project. We can help.

2. STRATEGIC ENERGY PROGRAMS
Your company has an energy and/or carbon reduction target but you’re not sure how to achieve it? We can help! We’ll develop a plan to get you to your target. If you are interested in systematically managing energy like you manage safety and quality, you may be interested in learning how to become ISO 50001 compliant (without necessarily becoming certified).
You need everyone on site to contribute to energy efficiency progress for bigger, long lasting results. Through training and incorporation of ISO 50001 best practices adapted to your operation, you will have everyone working towards your goal of reduced energy and carbon costs & emissions.
Leveraging my 5 years as an Instructor of the Certified Energy Manager course, I can provide private training for executives or operational personnel.
