What is an Energy Savings Performance Contract? An Energy Savings Performance Contract lets organizations make facility improvements and use the savings they generate to offset project costs over time. Projects often include HVAC upgrades, building controls, lighting improvements, water conservation measures, and renewable energy.

Why it matters: For organizations facing aging infrastructure and limited capital budgets, this approach can make it possible to complete multiple improvements as part of one coordinated project rather than waiting years to address each need individually.

Where can an industrial facility make the biggest impact on its energy use? For one Central Pennsylvania food processing campus, we started by answering that question with an ASHRAE Level II energy audit.

Our team evaluated the processing plant, on-site wastewater treatment plant, and supporting facilities to identify opportunities to improve energy performance and inform future investments.

Take a look at the case study and how the facility is also exploring opportunities through Pennsylvania's RISE PA program. https://quandel.com/news-item/food-processing-facility-energy-audit-case-study/

Data centers generate a lot of heat, so cooling is essential to their operation. But what actually happens to the water used in that process?

This blog post breaks down how data center water retention systems work, including how the facility circulates, cools, reuses, and manages water.

Take a look at the process and the systems behind data center cooling:

Does your school district have a clear understanding of the condition of its facilities and a plan for what comes next?

A Facility Needs Assessment (FNA) helps turn aging infrastructure, deferred maintenance, and capital improvement needs into a clear, organized roadmap for decision making.

In this video, Nick Bagdonis, Vice President of Quandel Energy Solutions, walks through a real (redacted) Facility Needs Assessment prepared for a Pennsylvania school district. Learn how an FNA can help administrators and school boards:
• Evaluate the condition of critical building systems
• Prioritize maintenance and capital improvements
• Plan for future investments with greater confidence
• Build a defensible, long-term capital plan

Whether your district is planning renovations, considering performance contracting, or simply trying to better understand its facilities, an FNA provides a strong foundation for informed decisions.

The Quandel Energy Solutions team enjoyed spending last Friday at the Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce Annual Golf Outing alongside our colleagues from across the Quandel family of companies.

For more than 140 years, Quandel has been part of the Schuylkill County community, and events like this are an opportunity to strengthen relationships and support the organizations that help our region thrive. This year's outing marked the final tournament at Mountain Valley Golf Course, making it an especially memorable event. Along with sponsoring the golf ball drop, our team helped keep attendees cool with frozen margaritas powered by Quandel's portable solar generator, demonstrating how clean, portable energy can support community events in a practical and fun way.

We are proud to continue building connections throughout the communities we serve while showcasing innovative solutions that make a difference.

Extreme heat does more than make buildings uncomfortable. It reveals how they perform under peak demand.

When temperatures soar, aging infrastructure, inefficient systems, and outdated controls often become more noticeable through increased energy use, reduced occupant comfort, and added strain on critical building systems.

While no facility can avoid hot weather, strategic energy improvements can help buildings operate more efficiently, improve occupant comfort, and better withstand periods of extreme demand.

Heat waves may last only a few days, but they often provide valuable insights that can shape smarter, long-term facility planning.
