About Us
Encompass Energy aims to bring a pragmatic, cost-effective approach to reducing energy consumption in buildings. Whether new construction or renovation of a building, thoughtful re-purposing of an existing space, or something altogether outside the normally defined realm of “buildings,” our team will assist the project and team to reduce energy use, carbon emissions, and utility costs.
Our focus is on existing building retrofits and using energy modeling to support capex spending, incentive procurement, and design assistance for carbon planning. We also provide whole building energy analysis, daylight analysis, design engineering, commissioning, certification support, and energy compliance services. Please see Services.
Encompass Energy LLC staff includes professional engineers, energy modeling professionals, data analysts, and certified energy managers. With staff in Denver Colorado, Richmond Virgina, Sacramento California, and Quebec City Quebec, we support projects across North America.
