Why GEMM
Fundamental Challenges
Most mid-market buildings consume nearly twice the energy they need, with no resiliency for the next grid failure. Often lack of time, guidance, and capital pose challenges limiting energy projects to simple lighting retrofits, if at all. Traditional capital investment based solely on simple payback and return on investment adds further hurdles. Transitioning green investment into sound business decisions requires a paradigm shift from traditional methodologies.
GEMM breaks the mold by approaching these projects with our unique Integrated Design and Financial Energy Masterplanning.
"Meeting the strict Regulatory and Corporate initiatives needed to achieve net zero emissions requires more than modifying existing energy consumption, rather a re-envisioned reality where the building and the grid “breath” in unison. This “smart building” will no longer simply be a consumer of power, but a healthier, more resilient, compliant, and profitable asset. ~ Founder & CEO K. Scott Sine PE, MBA

GEMM Difference
Decarbonization is GEMM. Infrastructure resiliency is GEMM. Maximizing capital is ABSOLUTELY GEMM!
From inception, GEMM recognized how early integration of full funding analysis into a technical design allowed Building Owners to make better, more strategic decisions. Should the goal be to achieve Net-zero operations, improve operational resiliency, create positive project cash flow, reduce capital stack debt, or make the best use of upfront tax credits GEMM’s team is distinctively able to advance these opportunities.
GEMM's ability to work independently or with the Owner’s Engineer reaffirms the best green-build solution is obtained. With over 25+ years of engineering leadership, our team has yet to encounter an aged mid-market building lacking potential for environmental and financial improvement by use of our Diamond Masterplan ProcessTM.
