It’s easy to forget that what looks like a simple process can be very complex underneath. Take driving a car, for example. Hours of time went into the vehicle design. Hundreds of suppliers were involved in the manufacturing. The process of building a car involves many experts to handle these complexities. Drivers are left with the simple task of getting behind the wheel.
You want to focus on running your business, not the complex processes behind energy integration. Future Energy designs our services to simplify energy management and align power use with your needs and goals.
We view each unique project through the lens of our complete 7 Solution Pillars:
Initiative
Insight
Infrastructure
Integration
Interface
Instruct
Inspect
Future Energy’s 7 Solution Pillars tie in with our capabilities and our mission to provide simple, complete solutions utilizing progressive insights, technologies, and software with an exceptional experience.
Progressive Insights, Technologies, and Software
Future Energy is not in the business of selling you hardware. Instead, we seek to bring solutions to your enterprise to optimize your entire operation.
The real value is in helping you to raise the value of your questions. We help you to fully integrate data-driven energy solutions to help boost value and improve your brand.
Looking Beyond Hardware
One of the most common questions we receive is, “How much does an EV charging station cost?” The answer to this question goes way beyond the price tag.
It’s critical to determine not just the “what” questions about your EV charging plans but the “why” behind them.
Why does your company wish to install EV chargers? What are your goals? How does EV charging work within your enterprise? What is your timeline?
Addressing Sustainability Requirements
Clearly, there’s a global push for businesses to pay more attention to sustainability. Government programs and private investors are asking—or demanding—that companies reduce their carbon footprint.
Future Energy’s smart solutions directly align with the increasing emphasis on sustainability. But beyond the solutions we provide, Future Energy helps your business to identify and address important questions about the future of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.
Even consumers are making purchasing decisions based on perceptions about a company’s ESG practices. In fact, over the past five years, brands making ESG-related claims grew 8% faster than those without ESG-related claims and accounted for 56% of growth nationally. Future Energy helps your company to capitalize on this trend by associating your brand with ESG practices through EV charging and other smart solutions.
Using Data to Drive Business Value
These days the modern business uses data to drive operational insights. Future Energy offers revolutionary software called Interface that connects, measures, and manages all the smart systems throughout your business.
Using Interface you can monitor and control lighting stations, video surveillance, EV charging, and other systems. Interface collects all the data and provides a single dashboard that you can view in real-time from any device from anywhere.
Complete, Simple Solutions for Your Business
Interface is just one solution that Future Energy provides to bring simplicity to our clients. We handle the complexities so that you can focus on running your business.
Turnkey EV Charging
Future Energy offers a turnkey, complete EV charging environment called ChargeParc™. Rather than working to put together EV charging solutions piecemeal, your business benefits from a one-stop shop.
Yes, we provide the EV chargers that best meet your business use case. But today’s drivers expect an EV charging environment complete with lighting, security, and even the ability to reserve chargers in advance.
And you can help to strengthen your brand through customized bollards, signage, and striping so that customers easily identify your company with the EV charging environment. Just one of Future Energy’s capabilities.
Simplification of Energy Management
Energy management is one of the greatest complexities involved with the integration of EV charging. Your business needs to be able to closely monitor and manage energy use. Otherwise, you run the risk of exceeding peak load—the highest demand you place on the electrical grid over a certain period. Exceeding peak load for just a minute can increase your electricity rates for the subsequent year.
No one wants to be surprised by an exceedingly high electricity bill at the end of the month.
Interface carefully monitors your power consumption and uses artificial intelligence to balance the electrical load over all your devices. These proactive, real-time adjustments to electricity use ensure you stay within your capacity.
End-to-End Process Collaboration
From our first conversation, Future Energy serves as your partner throughout the entire process of integrating EV charging or smart building solutions. We help you to identify your goals, supervise installation, and remain as consultants to help interpret and analyze data.
Exceptional Experience
Is your company interested in EV charging? The process is much more complex than the purchase and installation of a piece of equipment. There are few subject matter experts available, which is why it’s critical to find a partner who will work with you to identify your unique needs.
Planning Capabilities
Future Energy works as your partner in a multistep process that aligns with your particular use case. Well in advance of any construction, we talk through your needs and challenges as a company. That’s why our first two solution pillars are initiative and insight.
Initiative involves collaboration to set concrete goals and steps to reach them. Our staff of experts then provides insight through data-driven analysis to optimize the integration of technology and energy management with your business operations.
Additionally, Future Energy has expertise in helping your company to identify and obtain financial incentives to offset the cost of your EV charging infrastructure. Our EV charging Financial Incentive National Database (FIND) tool is an extremely accurate database that provides instant information about hundreds of programs in every state. In many cases, our clients offset up to 100% of their installation costs through tax credits, grants and rebates, and utility rate reductions.
Installation
Once installation begins, Future Energy supervises all the engineering and construction. Our supervision includes not just serving as your general contractor but also working closely with the utilities to ensure you’re in line for any electrical upgrades you may require.
We answer any questions surrounding equipment use. And we provide training for your staff so that they understand how to use the new equipment and software.
Management
Our partnership doesn’t end once construction is complete. Instead, our Client Success Team provides personal support that includes troubleshooting and proactive issue tracking for all of Future Energy’s capabilities. You can initiate a support ticket from directly within Interface. In many cases, Future Energy can identify and solve your problem remotely.
Beyond technical support, our Client Success Team works with you regularly to provide insights and recommendations based on the data that Interface collects and aggregates. Data drives recommendations into energy management and cost-reduction strategies.
