Go Green
We take energy conservation seriously at JKL. Over the past several years, we have saved tremendous Kilo Watt for our clients. This was done through surveying facilities, developing energy saving initiatives, then implementing such initiatives. We also explore PG&E rebates to help offset implementation costs.
Through our studies, we have investigated light load harvesting, smart metering, heating/cooling economizing, energy self-generation, water conservation, and re-commissioning options. See the list of initiatives we have completed incorporating such provisions.
