Aurora Australis Ltd provides energy performance contracting (EnPC) services to improve clients' energy efficiency. Through EnPC, Aurora Australis conducts energy assessments, finances infrastructure upgrades, and guarantees savings. Clients face no upfront costs, and pay monthly fees less than the guaranteed savings. Technical solutions include lighting, HVAC and building controls upgrades. Savings are calculated per international standards and verified annually by a third party. Benefits include reduced energy and maintenance costs, guaranteed outcomes, and meeting sustainability goals with no capital investment required. The next steps proposed are a client letter of intent, four-week detailed study, and six-week proposal with contract finalized in four to ten weeks.
