Circadia collaborates with clients to assess and improve existing documentation, such as Climate Action Plans, Campus Master Plans, Infrastructure Master Plans, Investment Grade Lighting Audits (IGLA), or Engineering Studies. Our team of subject matter experts ensures realistic targets and necessary information for successful implementation. If documents are incomplete or inadequate, we provide recommendations based on our implementation and professional experience. Circadia offers planning, auditing, and RFP development services, ensuring a favorable ROI for energy conservation programs. With extensive experience in large energy projects, we help evaluate cost estimates and collaborate with industry partners to establish realistic budgets based on local metrics. Circadia guides clients through strategic construction planning and competitive sourcing to lower initial costs. As a committed partner throughout the process, we ensure the delivery of quality and comprehensive plans that align with the client’s budget parameters.

Before implementing Energy Conservation Measures (ECM), approval and funding from executive leadership within client organizations are typically required. Circadia collaborates with staff personnel and Facilities to define the scope of the decarbonization programs to secure project funding. We leverage data on cost savings and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions to develop compelling justifications, aligning projects with the organization’s priorities making them more appealing to decision-makers. Our approach ensures that decarbonization projects stand out among other capital opportunities being considered.

At the core of our work is meticulous planning. Whether programs are in progress or initiation, Circadia emphasizes comprehensive planning for successful execution. We strategically plan every aspect, including pre-construction, implementation, communication, and overall strategy. Working in active buildings and thriving campuses demands careful coordination to determine optimal times for completing work with minimal impact. Paramount to program success, Circadia optimizes schedules to enable uninterrupted building operations and faculty research.

Many institutions we work with do not have adequate internal staff to run their normal operations and support the additional work of a decarbonization program. Recruiting and training project management talent for short to medium term assignments can be challenging. Building a team takes time and disbanding it after your program is complete can be deflating for your staff and expensive for your organization. Circadia addresses this through our augmented staffing program. We incorporate subject matter experts into our clients’ teams at the levels needed to match the skillsets required for the duration of the program. As these are Circadia employees, when their assignments are complete with the client they’re supporting, we redeploy them to a new assignment. We offer our employees career positions that motivate them and result in our clients getting experienced professionals who can immediately contribute to reaching their goals.

Efficient project management is achieved through structured processes, enabling oversight of project design and construction. Circadia establishes strong relationships with project teams and client stakeholders for clear communication throughout every project phase. Our experience in handling complex projects and coordinating with multiple stakeholders contributes to consistently successful outcomes. As the owner’s representative, we manage program budgets, schedules, and execution, ensuring milestones and client expectations are met. Circadia offers customizable tools and systems for managing, recording, and distributing project documentation to enhance organizational efficiency. Our services aim to surpass expectations, add value, and prioritize our clients’ goals.
