Pareto Energy Industries

Commercial Real Estate

We work with developers, construction companies, architects, municipalities, and owner-occupied buildings to organize and finance Energy Independence Districts for new developments and existing downtowns. EIDs can then implement a Local Power approach, including on-site trigeneration of electricity, heating, and cooling to provide clean, reliable, and affordable energy.

Reduce your first-costs through independently-financed EIDs
Build new beautiful, functional buildings that take advantage of the best “sustainable technologies” without increasing costs
Reduce operating costs for you or your tenants through Local Power, while providing superior performance (improved reliability and power quality)
Lower your environmental impact by improving efficiency and reducing energy use (and cost!)
Determine the best mix of technologies and systems that benefit you (not your vendors)
Retrofit inefficient, wasteful buildings with the latest high-performance energy systems
Acquire cost-effective LEED credits to reach Silver or Gold
Take full advantage of available government partnerships and incentives – local, state, and Federal

Financial Services

We work with companies with trading floors, data hotels, call centers, and other computer- and energy-intensive operations. These sites pose unique energy challenges, with strong demand for ultra-reliable power and high costs for electricity and cooling
Install Local Power to achieve “five-9's” reliability (99.999%), at a fraction of the cost of traditional UPS and back-up generators
Reduce business losses from power interruptions or from the glitches that result from the poor power quality of the traditional grid
Slash cooling costs by replacing electric-powered chillers with ultra-efficient equipment that uses “waste heat” from on-site generators
Lower the environmental impact of all your operations through high-performance building systems, and earn improved ratings from certification agencies such as IPMVP/EVO or SGS

Shipping Ports

We work with port authorities, shipping lines, longshoremen, and berth operators to manage the successful transition to shore-based hotelling power for cargo vessels and cruise ships. The single worst source of air-borne pollution in the U.S. -- previously unregulated ship-board diesel engines – can be replaced by “cold ironing” with ultra-clean dock-side cogeneration.

Reduce timelines for cold ironing from years to months with megawatt-sized modular generators
Avoid tens of millions in unnecessary expenditures on transmission and distribution networks, because power is generated right at the port
Cut emissions from docked ships by many orders of magnitude, at an affordable cost for power
Take advantage of “waste heat” from on-site generators to provide refrigeration for nearby warehouses and processing facilities
