During 2011, the Goldsborough Company and its subsidiary Sunbiz Energy Solutions successfully provided Energy Efficiency Services to a limited number of standalone midsize Medical Facilities in the Tampa Bay area. We understand that within the Medical Profession the standards for energy efficiency and healthier/safer work environments are among the highest. Not only are these professionals providing their employees and patients with a more comfortable and healthier environment, but they are also raising the bar with better energy efficiency practices.
It is because of these higher occupational standards and potential lower insurance reimbursements that doctors are seeking other efficiencies in their medical practice’s. This is why we strive to make our projects the most cost-effective as possible while often creating investment-grade capital improvements with positive cash flows only within a few short years.
Our goal in 2012 will be to continue providing our services to the small to midsize, standalone medical facilities. This will include the traditional general contracting, preventative maintenance, carefully planned life-cycle optimization, and targeted energy efficiency projects.
Through careful building analysis, we can quickly bring to focus resource saving ($) Energy Conservation Measures (EMC’s) that can be prioritized and implemented based on their urgency, cost-benefit/Payback analysis, and health and comfort considerations.
It is typical for these and other energy conservation measures ECM’s to provide a full return on investment within a few years and then provide a continued revenue stream for future projects and/or to simply increase the bottom line indefinitely into the future. Additionally, these health and comfort improvements have immediate payback in both patient satisfaction and increased employee productivity.
Do it to make your staff and clients more comfortable.
Do it for your health. Do it for the environment.
Do it for the savings.
Whatever the reason, the important thing is that you do it.

Energy efficiency and conservation are not just for contemporary homes and newer commercial buildings. In fact, Energy Efficient Conservation Measures (ECM’s) carefully applied to historical structures, generally produce greater reductions in energy consumption, and much improved levels of comfort, health and safety. This should be no surprise because most historic structures were designed and built without any consideration of energy efficiency.
But slowdown for just a moment and think about the irreversible damage that you could do without careful consideration to preserving the home’s historic features. Planning the historic home energy retrofit requires extra time and careful planning Being aware and adhering to regulations and oversight, applicable to the community and historic district where your home and business may be located is extremely important. Lastly, seeking professional advice from Florida licensed Contractor with advanced training as a Building Performance Institute Certified Analysts, or Florida RESNET certified Energy Rater, who additionally specialize in historic preservation, is the key to a successful project.
Understanding that older homes, and historic structures work as a complete system that included their own set of energy efficient features is very important. These features might include tall, double hung windows, large overhangs, tall ceilings and lots of air movement.
Building Performance Institute Certified Contractors (BPI) understand your historic home as a system. Taking a holistic approach to cure wasteful energy consumption, and unwanted air infiltration requires comprehensive building analysis and advanced diagnostic testing equipment. Improving the energy efficiency in the home or office involves paying careful attention to preserving the buildings unique character during the remodel, preserving the original energy efficient features of the home, and ensuring the continued durability for future generations.
Historical Preservation Performance Contracting( HPPC) uses the cost savings from reduced energy consumption to repay the cost of installing energy conservation measures. These cost savings are added to available federal and state tax credits as well as utility rebates. Not all improvements can be measured in dollars and cents. Significant improvements in comfort, health and safety are and additional driving force in Historic Preservation Performance Contracting (HPPC).
If you own a historic structure and you have any of the following issues, get a comprehensive energy audit and energy efficiency retrofit provided by Sunbiz Energy Inc., a Historic Preservation Performance Contractor.( HPPC)
Additionally, if you are remodeling or replacing your HVAC equipment these provide additional opportunities to improve your energy efficiency, comfort, health and safety of your home and business.
