What We do?
Why ITEM? Technology Solutions
Did you know? A recent study revealed that employees working in
an optimized Green Building space can increase employee
performance by more than 10%. Subjects tested in a non green
building when moved to a green building were found to have a 39%
reduction in average sick leave days per employee per month: from
0.46 days before the move to 0.28 after the move.
A Comprehensive Approach Expertise & Engagement from Start to Finish
Forging working relationships and partnerships with some of the world’s leading energy efficiency organizations, we at ITEM are able to leverage international expertise from industry leaders such as Lutron, Honeywell and partners in the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). ITEM can combine world-class engineering, technological know- how, financing expertise and project management prac- tices to deliver superior results.
As we assess the needs of each client, we design a com- prehensive energy program from inception to completion, encompassing the whole site.
ITEM understands that every client is unique. We design each technology application to fit the specific usage of that building. The objectives stay the same; optimize building performance for our clients by using proven methods that lower energy consumption, improve comfort, increase system performance and maximize productivity.

Auditing
Office buildings have more floor area (12.2
billion ft2 or 1.1 billion m2) than any other
building type in the U.S. and have the highest
total energy consumption (1.1 quadrillion Btu
or 1.2 EJ) of any building type. Furthermore,
the largest buildings have a higher energy use
intensity (energy consumption per square
foot) than any other size of building. This scale
creates many opportunities for energy savings.
A good place to begin is with an energy audit
of the building.

Retrofit
A building doesn’t have to be new to be green. Today’s building owners
are retrofitting buildings, converting existing buildings into models of
sustainability. They are using new financing tools such as performance
contracting to minimize financial risk and maximize energy savings. With an
emphasis on “whole building” rather than piecemeal approaches, existing
buildings can significantly lower energy consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions while producing financial rewards for owners.
Our Customers
Broadly, our target audience comprises of commercial buildings and industrial manufacturing facilities. These in- clude but are not limited to: Banks, Office buildings, Gov- ernment buildings, Schools, Healthcare facilities, Hotels, Warehousing facilities, Shopping Centres, etc.
The people controlling these facilities comprise of building owners and managers who are responsible for the daily decision making and running of these buildings.
These individuals all share similar needs and aspirations as it relates to the operation of their building. Their aim is
to come as close as possible to achieving the best of both worlds. Provide an optimal work environment such that employee productivity is maximized while having minimal operating costs.
To a facility owner/manager ITEM delivers premier en- ergy management solutions. They can feel confident that through our technical expertise and cutting edge technol- ogy they will experience the results of reduced operating costs and enhanced environment conditions.

HVAC
Although the primary purpose of heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC) systems in commercial buildings is
occupant productivity, the objective of most changes to HVAC
systems in the next five years will be to decrease energy
cost. Because of rising energy prices and the drive to reduce
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with building
operations, many building owners have begun to manage
energy cost actively as an asset, rather than a fixed cost.
HVAC accounts for almost one-third of the energy cost in
commercial buildings, so these systems hold great potential
for energy savings.
What’s Next? Most existing buildings in the Caribbean have been con- structed prior to the existence and enforcement of energy efficiency standards or certification. This fact alone cer- tainly indicates that there are significant opportunities for energy reduction in any of your commercial facilities and that each day valuable resources are misused and wasted. Companies that make a concerted effort to pursue energy efficiency are often surprised at how significant savings can be.
Before proposing solutions, we would like to gain a gener- al understanding of your company’s needs and how your employees utilize the facility. This is accomplished through a brief chat with the building manager or facility lead and a walk through perusal of the facility.
