Project Implementation

  • Identification and Evaluation of Non-Energy Benefits (NEBs)

  • Uncover the hidden value of your energy efficiency and decarbonization projects

    The benefits of your energy efficiency projects are not limited to energy savings and associated cost reductions. Investments in the energy transition also generate other major positive impacts such as:

    • Improved safety and well-being at work, leading to reduced absenteeism
    • Improved product quality
    • Reduction in unscheduled production downtimes
    • Improved employee and equipment productivity

     

    Yet, non-energy benefits often go unnoticed.

    The result? Promising projects remain on hold.

     

    Why include NEBs in investment evaluations?

    The MBENEFITS methodology and software enable you to identify, evaluate, and monetize all the impacts of your investment projects to:

    • Strengthen your business cases
    • Evaluate projects more comprehensively and accurately
    • Provide rigorous and documented decision support
    • Unlock investment projects

    Did you know that nearly two-thirds of non-energy benefits are quantifiable and monetizable?

     

    MBenefits: A proven methodology

    Developed by the University of Lausanne in partnership with Ipso Facto and supported by the European Union, the MBENEFITS methodology is based on more than 15 years of R&D and $4.3 million in investment.

    Already validated by 20 companies in Europe and the United States in the commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors, the methodology makes it possible to:

    • Identify and quantify up to 54 non-energy benefits
    • Achieve significantly higher internal rates of return (IRRs)
    • Reduce return on investment (ROI) periods by an average factor of 3
    • Offer short, practical training courses to familiarize participants with the NEB analysis approach and tools

  • IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)

  • Reduce your energy costs, improve your environmental performance, and access subsidies by implementing an effective and structured energy management system (EMS) that is compliant with and based on the principles of the ISO 50001 standard.

    Why implement an EMS in your organization?

    Adopting a structured energy management system, as proposed by the ISO 50001 standard, allows organizations to:

    • Achieve energy savings of up to 15% in three years
    • Reduce GHG emissions
    • Increase resilience and competitiveness
    • Benefit from funding programs offered by Natural Resources Canada, Hydro-Québec, Énergir, and the Government of Quebec

    Concrete results: In Canada, organizations that have implemented an ISO 50001 EMS have seen an average improvement of 5% to 15% in energy performance in three years, often with little or no capital investment.

    Why choose Econoler as your EMS partner?

    For over 15 years, Econoler has been helping organizations implement and optimize their EMS, particularly in the following sectors:

    • Industrial
      • Pulp and paper
      • Mining
      • Transport
      • Material extraction and processing
    • Commercial
    • Institutional

    Our team combines technical, strategic, and regulatory expertise with recognized skills in ISO 50001 certification, ISO 50001 Ready, measurement and verification (M&V), and access to subsidies.
