Our Services
Lumen’s services are designed around one goal: delivering measurable financial and operational value. Every engagement starts with an energy audit, and every service is backed by clear performance data.
LumenSmart™ = Energy Monitoring
THE PROBLEM
Most buildings have no real-time visibility into how energy is being used. Waste accumulates invisibly, in HVAC runtimes, idle equipment, and off-hours loads and shows up only as an unexplained line item on a utility bill.
THE VALUE
LumenSmart™ installs circuit-level sensors throughout your facility and transmits consumption data to our cloud platform every few minutes. Lumen’s team monitors this data continuously, identifies inefficiencies in real time, and implements targeted fixes. Clients typically see electricity bill reductions of 10% to 30% with little upfront cost.
WHY DOES IT MATTER
What gets measured gets managed. LumenSmart™ gives operators and portfolio managers the data infrastructure to make energy a managed asset, not a fixed cost.
Electricity Procurement
THE PROBLEM
Most organizations renew their electricity contracts on autopilot, accepting utility rates without analysis or negotiation. The result is overpayment at scale, compounded across every billing period.
THE VALUE
Lumen negotiates directly with energy suppliers on your behalf, leveraging market intelligence and purchasing volume to secure below-market electricity rates. Savings are immediate and recur every billing cycle for the life of the contract.
WHY IT MATTERS
Energy procurement is one of the highest-leverage, lowest-effort savings opportunities available to commercial operators. Lumen makes it effortless and captures returns that flow directly to EBITDA.
Mechanical Optimization
THE PROBLEM
Compressed air systems, extraction systems, and mechanical infrastructure are among the largest energy consumers in industrial and commercial buildings and among the most commonly overlooked. Equipment running outside optimal parameters wastes energy continuously.
THE VALUE
Lumen’s expert team audits your mechanical systems, identifies inefficiencies, and implements targeted optimizations from scheduling adjustments and pressure tuning to equipment upgrades and leak remediation. Typical savings range from 15% to 35% of mechanical energy costs.
WHY IT MATTERS
Mechanical systems are long-lived assets. Optimizing them improves energy performance, reduces maintenance costs, and extends equipment life delivering value across the full investment horizon.
LumenAI™ = Intelligent Analytics
THE PROBLEM
Energy data is valuable only when it drives decisions. Most organizations collect utility data but lack the tools to analyze it at the pattern level missing anomalies, demand spikes, and optimization opportunities that compound into significant costs.
THE VALUE
LumenAI™ applies machine learning to your energy dataset, identifying inefficiency patterns, predicting demand cycles, and automatically flagging deviations from optimal performance. The system learns your building’s baseline and continuously surfaces opportunities to reduce consumption and cost.
WHY IT MATTERS
AI-driven energy management is the difference between reactive bill-paying and proactive cost control. LumenAI™ transforms energy from a passive expense into an actively managed KPI.
Smart LED Conversion
THE PROBLEM
Lighting accounts for a significant share of commercial electricity consumption. Older fluorescent and incandescent systems run at high wattage, generate excess heat, require frequent maintenance, and contribute disproportionately to energy costs and carbon output.
THE VALUE
Lumen manages LED conversion end-to-end: audit, specification, procurement, installation, rebate processing, and performance verification. We invest our own capital in the process, eliminating the upfront cost barrier. Clients typically see 40–70% reductions in lighting energy costs, with IRRs of 50% to 120%.
WHY IT MATTERS
LED conversion is one of the fastest, most reliable paths to energy savings in any commercial building. With Lumen managing the process at no upfront cost, it is also one of the simplest.
HVAC Optimization
THE PROBLEM
HVAC systems represent 30–50% of a typical commercial building’s energy use. Poorly calibrated controls, aging equipment, and suboptimal scheduling create persistent waste raising costs while degrading occupant comfort.
THE VALUE
Lumen audits your HVAC systems and implements a structured optimization program: controls upgrades, scheduling improvements, zone-level calibration, and predictive maintenance protocols. Results include reduced energy consumption, lower maintenance costs, and improved thermal comfort across the building.
WHY IT MATTERS
HVAC optimization delivers immediate cost savings and long-term asset value. It also demonstrates operational quality to tenants and investors a tangible differentiator in competitive markets.
