Circadia Group specializes in developing, managing, and implementing campus-wide programs for clients to achieve decarbonization. As the owner's representative, we strategically plan, coordinate, track, and execute energy conservation and sustainable projects, supporting programs in reaching net-zero carbon emissions.
Our Process
Circadia collaborates with clients to assess and enhance existing documentation, such as Climate Action Plans, Campus Master Plans, Sustainability Master Plans, IGLAs, or Engineering Studies, depending on the specific service engaged. Our team of subject matter experts ensures realistic targets and necessary information for successful implementation. If documents are incomplete or inadequate, we provide recommendations for development. 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 a quality and comprehensive plan within the organization’s budget parameters.
Prior to implementing Energy Conservation Measures (ECM), approval and funding from senior levels within client organizations are typically required. Circadia collaborates with personnel from Facilities or Sustainability departments to define the scope of decarbonization programs and secure project funding. We leverage data on cost savings and GHG emission reductions to develop compelling justifications, aligning projects with the organization’s priorities and making them more appealing to decision-makers. Our approach ensures that decarbonization projects stand out among other capital opportunities.
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 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.
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 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.
