RESULTS

Reduced energy consumption 30%

Won significant utility rebates

Reduced operating costs by 47% over five years

What they’re saying… “ Albert Dolente and his staff have provided outstanding service to Valencia

College Campus for over 10 years.

The technical expertise of the staff has been surpassed only by their dedication to help us meet our needs.

Time and time again they went out of their way to support us during awkward moments when those unplanned

emergencies arose.

On one of our campuses we have a TES (Thermal Energy System) a consultant recommended we abandon be-

cause the controls vendor for that campus could not get it to work consistently.

Al presented a solution using one of his staff, and he gave carte blanche access to resolve.

To make a long story short, not only did we work as a team to make the plant operate but reduced energy

consumption by 30% and the utility is awarding us a significant rebate.

In fact we reduced our cost per square foot by 47% from 2008 to 2013 and no small part of that reduction

was due to the management and expertise of Al’s staff..

One of Al’s best qualities is not just to get the job done…..but to consistently get it done right. ”
