The first step in reducing energy costs is measuring how, when, and where facilities use energy.
T4 Engineering is headed by Michael A. Trzesniowski, PE CEM CEP. We
are a consulting business focused on energy conservation and management, as
well as educational facility engineering. Our mission is to provide
practical advice to our clients to enable them to focus on their primary
business. The principal officer has worked in and around the electric
utility business since 1980 and experienced the transition from a "widows
and orphans stock" workplace to Enron and deregulation. A good energy
consultant is essentially a low-cost, high-return investment for a company
because a fraction of the fees should be recovered from timely advice.
Anything less means the consultant isn't working for you.
T4 has over a decade of experience in higher education facility energy
procurement. The principal officer has bought, sold, and hedged natural gas
over the years. He is a
Certified Energy Procurement Professional. As
Associate Director for Facilities Services at Lehigh University, he has
overseen 15MW of power procurement (69/12 KV) and supervised the operation
of two separate central heating & refrigeration facilities. He has completed
courses in Building Commissioning and is a
Certified Energy Manager. Energy has become a commodity that is bought,
sold, and traded like a common stock. As a client, you can benefit from
someone who has studied technical analysis of stock price movements and
understands moving averages, support/resistance levels, supply/demand, and
the intricacies of local distribution companies, contracts, local
distribution companies, balancing, etc. Mike has annually procured anywhere
from 400,000 mcf of natural gas to 2.5MG of #6 fuel oil, set accurate
budgets up to 18 months in advance, worked with the PA DEP on Title V and
legal documentation, supervised boiler house operators as well as HVAC
staff, and manages a 12KV distribution system in lieu of the incumbent local
utility.
Energy costs are significant and controllable. Energy processes can be
improved. Utility cost savings can be achieved through proactive
energy management techniques.

"Thousands of engineers can design bridges, calculate strains and
stresses, and draw up specifications for machines,
but the great engineer is the [person] who can tell whether the bridge
or machine should be built at all, where it should be built, and when."Eugene G. Grace
