RIFE specializes in crafting budget-neutral solutions, making energy-efficient enhancements financially viable for our clients. Whether it’s achieving ENERGY STAR® recognition for a building’s efficiency, attaining LEED certification, EDGE Certification or driving bottom-line improvements through savings, RIFE excels in identifying capital projects and operational adjustments that swiftly curtail energy usage and expenses. As a leading independent energy efficiency company and service provider, we possess the breadth and depth of technical proficiency to objectively design the optimal energy management solution for each client’s needs.

Energy Efficiency​ Services

Comprehensive Building Audits

Smarter Water Use. Lower Costs. Greener Operations. 

Our water efficiency services empower buildings and campuses to conserve water, reduce operational expenses, and support sustainability goals without sacrificing performance or comfort. As part of our ESCO model, improvements are paid for through the utility savings they generate. 

We begin with a detailed assessment of indoor and outdoor water use. From plumbing systems to landscaping, our comprehensive water and irrigation audits pinpoint where you’re overusing and how to fix it. 

We also provide rainwater and gray water recycling systems that tap into alternative water sources. For rainwater harvesting, we design and implement rainwater capture and storage systems for reuse in irrigation, cooling, or nonpotable fixtures. For gray water recycling, we enable reuse of water from sinks, showers, and laundry for landscape irrigation or toilet flushing, reducing overall demand on freshwater. 

Our high efficiency fixture and system retrofits replace inefficient fixtures and equipment with best in class alternatives, including low flow fixtures, sensor activated faucets, pressure reducing valves, and more. 

Through smart irrigation and lawn sprinkler optimization, we install or upgrade irrigation systems with smart controllers, soil moisture sensors, and zoned scheduling so lawns and landscapes stay healthy with minimal waste. 

With leak detection and monitoring, we use real time analytics and acoustic sensors to detect hidden leaks and eliminate costly water loss before it becomes a liability. 

Our metering and submetering solutions help track usage across tenants or departments. These data driven tools provide insights that drive behavior change and informed decision making. 

All upgrades are delivered through performance contracting, with no upfront capital needed. Our performance based approach ensures you save while you modernize, risk free. 

Why It Matters 

Save on costs through reduced water and sewer bills. Enhance resilience by reducing dependency on municipal water. Meet regulations and standards including LEED, ENERGY STAR, and local codes. Support ESG goals with measurable sustainability metrics.

Building Retrofits

Small changes go a long way to improve your energy cost savings.

In the dynamic realm of energy transformation, RIFE International emerges as a beacon of innovation with its groundbreaking building retrofit solutions.

Whether your property is expansive or compact, our energy retrofits are meticulously crafted to cater to your unique energy requirements while aligning seamlessly with your budgetary constraints. Retrofits need not be expensive, simple building improvements to reduce energy use, reduce operational costs and minimize emissions can be achieved by simply improving existing systems and replacing outdated systems.Our holistic approach covers a spectrum of building operations, encompassing HVAC, plumbing, lighting, and the building envelope. RIFE International doesn’t just retrofit buildings; we usher in a new era of energy efficiency where every retrofit isn’t just an improvement but a strategic move towards sustainability.

Lighting Upgrades & Controls

Lighting systems convert only a minority fraction of their electrical input into useful light output. Much of the rest is released directly as heat into the space. For interior lighting, any upgrade of the lighting system that reduces input wattage reduces the amount of heat that must be removed by the air cooling system. This results in air cooling energy savings during the operation of the building. In new construction, an energy-efficient lighting design can result in significant savings in the installed cost of cooling systems.

RIFE also provides lighting controls for internal and external spaces. Some of these include occupancy or vacancy sensors; high-end trim; demand-controlled dimming; day lighting; addressable lighting; and advanced window shades.

Step into a brighter future where lighting isn’t just about visibility, it’s about efficiency, sustainability, and control. Choose RIFE International – where every upgrade and control isn’t just a feature; it’s a committment to redefine the way we light up our spaces.

HVAC Upgrades

Our HVAC offerings are engineered to provide thermal comfort, ensure high indoor air quality, and are meticulously designed to streamline building operations while meeting specific customer needs.

Maintaining indoor conform through effective heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems is pivotal an managing any building. RIFE offers tailored HVAC solutions that prioritize the indoor well-being of occupants, ensuring optimal environmental conditions that foster productivity within the facility.

The significance of HVAC spans facilities of varying sizes, where ensuring safety and health through regulated and temperature, humidity, and fresh outdoor air intake is essential.
