Waste Stream Reduction & Optimization

EBS is offering continued support to maximize the value of reductions in waste. With access to monthly data, EBS will be able to provide our clients with the tools to optimize their waste expense reduction goals. Using the functions in our Waste Financial Impact Analysis Tool, EBS gives clients the ability to optimize bin sizing and reduce expenses as a result. The intuitive tool uses hauling cost scenarios to inform the user of the most cost effective strategy to comply with the monthly volumetric needs for waste, compost and recycling. This function allows users to make informed, cost effective decisions earlier in the month instead of typical reactionary decision making.

Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategies

We provide expert advice on carbon reduction strategies through energy, waste, environmental management, and low carbon design by advising clients on how to improve their buildings. Through analyses we show how to mitigate the first cost issue by further demonstrating how sustainability measures directly impact life cycle costing throughout virtually any holding period. Additionally, we provide a holistic approach to sustainability by employing people from various disciplines and bringing them together under one roof. The dynamic in our offices is one of a kind and our motivation ensures we provide clients with innovative solutions that will change their life for the better.

Sustainability & LEED Education Services

EBS is currently offering two education programs. Our full-day class called, "Valuing Investments in Sustainability," is designed for those in the real estate sector seeking to maximize the financial value of investments in the operations and maintenance of buildings. Attendees will acquire the tools and resources needed to analyze the economics behind energy, water, and waste scenarios, then will apply this knowledge to real-life datasets. After becoming adept at working with CBECS data, ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, and audit results, students will then learn tangible ways to implement sustainable improvements in their buildings. Potential candidates for the course must enter as at least LEED Green Associates (or equivalent), and can expect to leave fully equipped to make the business case for green implementations in the commercial/institutional real estate sectors.

Our subsequent class is a LEED, CALGreen, and other rating systems. We are currently under contract to teach this class and others at the County of Los Angeles under the ESSMA contract. Understanding the difference between rating systems (although CALGreen is technically speaking a code...) is crucial for project success - furthermore we help our clients analyze the available rebates, tax advantages and incentives that can be gleaned from each of the processes. What is the difference between us and every other EDU provider in the market? Our Principal helped write the LEED BD&C exam and we don't only provide EDU services - we're a one stop shop for everything green building.

Sustainability Mapping & Planning

As business people with backgrounds in finance, economics and real estate, we look to integrate our deep understanding of sustainability with organizations who are looking to develop and implement value drive strategies around sustainability criteria. Looking at sustainability holistically, we find ourselves stepping back from the gut reaction businesses have - by looking at the idealistic scenario and backing out the solution we can achieve the inherent problems. Together we identify the challenges the work to map the opportunities that will ultimately define the corporation and industry they serve. This isn't Corporate Social Responsibility; this is a new profit motive - a shift from bottom line thinking to visioning multiple homogeneous bottom lines. Our unique approaches aren't for the faint of heart - we work diligently to literally reshape the way things are done. The result however is impeccable.
