Energy Efficiency for Commercial Office Buildings
Lower OpEx, protect operations, and let NV Energy incentives help fund the upgrades.
How can an office building lower its operating expenses?
Office buildings spend most of their energy on lighting and HVAC, often while spaces sit empty. LED with networked controls, HVAC scheduling and setpoint optimization, and a tuned BMS reduce both kWh and peak demand. For owners, lower operating expenses raise net operating income and asset value.
What drives energy cost in commercial office?
- Lighting and HVAC running in empty floors
- Peak demand charges on hot afternoons
- Tenant comfort complaints
- Pressure to report energy and carbon performance
The technologies that pay back fastest here
LED Lighting Retrofits
Commercial, industrial, exterior and parking. Up to 70% wattage reduction.
Networked Lighting Controls (NLC)
Occupancy, daylight harvesting, high-end trim and scheduling. Raises incentives 20–50%.
HVAC Controls
Smart thermostats, scheduling, setpoint optimization, economizers and demand limiting.
Building Management Systems (BMS)
Integration, optimization, scheduling and alarm management.
CO2 / Demand-Controlled Ventilation
CO2 sensors modulate outside air to cut HVAC load while protecting air quality.
Accuenergy EMS
Revenue-grade meters and cloud monitoring for whole-building and sub-metering.
What commercial office clients gain
Higher margins
Energy savings flow directly to EBITDA.
Protected operations
Monitoring and predictive maintenance reduce surprises.
Sustainability reporting
Verified kWh and CO2 for stakeholders.
Utility capital pays for part of the upgrade
NV Energy incentives apply to many of the measures above. We confirm eligibility for your facility, stack measures where it increases the incentive, and handle the application.
- We identify every eligible NV Energy prescriptive and custom incentive.
- We stack lighting with controls to raise the incentive 20–50%.
- We prepare and submit the application, then verify savings under IPMVP.

Frequently asked questions
How do savings affect building value?
Lower operating expense increases net operating income, which supports valuation at a given cap rate.
Can tenants be sub-metered?
Yes, with revenue-grade Accuenergy meters.
Will work disrupt tenants?
We schedule after hours and floor by floor.
Do occupancy changes affect savings?
Controls and VEM adapt schedules to real occupancy.
