FAQ
What does SUMMA mean?
Summa. ‘Total’ or ‘totality’, used by medieval writers to denote a compendium of theology, philosophy, or canon law. We use SUMMA to help you remember that we are bringing your facility’s “total” energy usage down.
Can you put energy management in layman’s terms please?
Think of your car. Energy management for your facility is like the oil changes, tune-ups, replaced parts, defensive driving course and maintained tire pressure you do for your car.
How is it that most businesses can reduce their energy consumption an extra 10-15%?
By looking at the “Why” of their energy usage. Unfortunately, most businesses do not have the expertise or even the time to delve deep into their facility to find this extra 10-15%.
What is building creep?
Everything breaks down eventually. Everything starts to slow down or start slipping from its designed place. As this happens in your facility, you begin to use more energy and soon your company is losing money unnecessarily.
Is utility metering hard?
Utility metering is not hard with the right expertise. With utility meters we look for reliability, predictability, and readability. SUMMA makes metering easy because we understand all types of meters. Unlike electrical contractors who may understand only power meters, or plumbers who may understand gas or water meters, SUMMA’s technicians have spent time and training learning all types of utility meters in order to keep a full perspective in our metering programs.
What are the right ways to save energy?
With SUMMA you can mix and match your energy management options to fit your needs. We find the tailored and most effective solutions for your facility.
