Distinct ENERGY Performance Launches in Southern Nevada
Local Contractor Establishes “One-Stop Shop” for Energy-Efficient Services
(Las Vegas, Nev.) – With a renewed focus on emerging green energy technology on the agenda in local, state and national governments and the importance of leading “green-friendly” lives dominating the media, entrepreneurs have found an opportunity to offer new and innovative services catering to the green industry.
Distinct ENERGY Performance and its team of specialized technicians are accredited by the Building Performance Institute (BPI) and certified by RESNET, the Residential Energy Services Network. RESNET certification allows Distinct ENERGY Performance to provide a Home Energy Rating System, or HERS rating, on the home or business.
“Consumers are not only more savvy to the importance of energy conservation for the betterment of the environment, they are interested in the more tangible benefits of having a high performance property,” said Bubak. “Retrofitting decreases costly energy waste, increases the comfort of the home or building, provides cleaner, healthier indoor air quality, decreases the instance of combustibility, and ensures a much higher resale value on the property.”
Distinct ENERGY Performance stays on the forefront of emerging energy-efficient technologies and has taken steps to ensure its current services meet the requirements on upcoming energy building standards.
Generally energy audit services range from $250 for a basic consultation to a minimum of $500 for a more advanced analysis, as the rate is based on square footage. Energy improvements and retrofitting, depending on need, can range from $500 to $60,000. While services can require a large upfront cost, rebate programs are available that not only pay for an energy audit, but also help offset the cost of building improvements. These programs include grants from local and federal agencies and utility companies, as well as Energy Efficient Mortgages & loans for retrofitting with energy saving products.
Las Vegas-based Distinct ENERGY Performance is a leading residential and commercial energy performance contractor serving Southern Nevada. With more than 30 years of building experience and utilizing today's high performance and green energy science, Distinct ENERGY Performance provides energy-efficient analysis and improvements for both residential and commercial structures to create high performing properties.
