Our Specialized Services

Analytics That Turns Data Into Performance

Turning data into valuable and actionable information is an important part of our energy solutions. We’ll utilize our cutting-edge technology to monitor the ongoing energy consumption of your systems and perform savings measurement and verification, energy intensity benchmarking, and metering with the objective of system improvement, a lower carbon footprint, cost savings, and sustainability.

Metering/Benchmarking

We supply and install advanced metering systems, integrate them with building automation and MSI platforms, and apply benchmarking to highlight opportunities for efficiency. Where hardware installation isn’t practical, our virtual metering approach leverages existing building data to create equipment-level visibility.

Energy audits and incentive applications

Our team will perform an audit of your building and determine the feasibility of every step along the way. Beyond identifying improvements, we help you secure funding by preparing and submitting applications for the most relevant energy incentive programs available.

Carbon footprint reduction

Reducing emissions is the corporate responsibility we share. We have delivered energy-efficient and carbon-neutral projects across North America, helping clients shrink their carbon footprints while improving building performance, occupant health, and overall sustainability.

Turnkey implementation and commissioning of energy-efficient equipment and technology

Over time, building performance drifts away from its original design intent, leading to wasted energy and rising costs. GDI Ainsworth brings facilities back on track, and often beyond, with turnkey retrofits that include efficient lighting, HVAC upgrades, advanced building automation, water conservation measures, and renewable energy technologies.

Every project is delivered to industry standards, verified for results, and designed to lower consumption while improving long-term savings.

Retro-commissioning

With our in-house commissioning and retro-commissioning experts, we can help re-commission our clients’ various systems to help re-establish the systems’ intended operation.

Energy Efficiency Upgrades

We deliver start-to-finish solutions for complex upgrades, from design and installation through commissioning, measurement, and verification. Our design, build and engineering projects include cutting-edge equipment like oil-less magnetic bearing chillers, cogeneration and combined heat and power (CHP) systems, and advanced gas-fired cooling and refrigeration units.

EV Charging

As more drivers switch to electric vehicles, having charging stations on-site is quickly becoming an expectation. Our teams make it simple by designing and installing EV charging solutions that fit your building’s capacity, usage patterns, and sustainability goals.

The result is a future-ready facility that meets tenant demand, stays ahead of regulations, and shows your commitment to greener operations.

Energy & Technology Solutions

GDI Ainsworth’s Energy & Technology Solutions brings together engineering, automation, and innovation to deliver energy performance, operational insight, and sustainability, all under one program.

Through strategic acquisitions and partnerships, we’ve strengthened our energy and technology capabilities, including smart building intelligence provided by RYCOM. Combined with GDI Ainsworth’s deep technical expertise, this integrated approach delivers end-to-end energy services that include advisory, turnkey retrofits, smart building platforms, and continuous optimization that reduce energy waste and advance carbon-reduction goals.

Sustainable Energy Platforms

AETS allows us to develop platforms and tools that help clients plan, deploy, and measure sustainable energy solutions.
These may include renewable energy sourcing, grid-friendly infrastructure, demand response, and systems that adapt as energy markets and regulations evolve.

FAQs

How much energy can I realistically save?

On average, buildings waste at least 10% of their energy through inefficiencies. With audits, retrofits, and advanced analytics, many clients achieve double-digit reductions in consumption and costs.
Yes. Our experts not only identify relevant incentive programs but also prepare and submit applications, helping you maximize funding while accelerating payback.
We use industry-recognized measurement and verification (M&V) protocols combined with benchmarking and advanced metering. This ensures that energy savings are transparent, auditable, and ESG-reporting ready.
Beyond initial upgrades, we use retro-commissioning, RemoteBAS monitoring, and Fault Detection & Diagnostics (FDD) to keep systems tuned for peak performance. Combined with ISO 14001 environmental management practices, this ensures savings are sustained and measurable year after year.
