Reno ESP will identify and design enhancement projects that reduce water and energy consumption and promote sustainability, including alternative transportation, all of which will first be analyzed for their lifecycle financial benefit. Reno will employ a vast array of specialized technical services including LEED consulting, whole building energy assessments, building energy/water usage analysis, distributed generation development and building commissioning services to formulate sustainability recommendations for detailed energy and water conservation projects.
