Frequently asked questions

Sustainability

What sustainability frameworks can you help me with?
The Pi Dashboard provides you with all the energy data you need to complete most frameworks, including GRI, SASB, and LEED. Don’t see the framework you are looking for? Set up a call with our team to discuss your specific needs.
Do you help with Building Performance Standards (ex: LL97)?
Yes. Our team is well-versed in the local building performance standards in all the markets we serve, including NYC's LL97. We invested in making our Optimizer service the most cost-effective option for reducing emissions and complying with regulations without ripping and replacing equipment.
How does Parity affect sustainability performance?
By reducing energy waste and maximizing energy efficiency, buildings working with Parity measurably reduce their direct and indirect emissions of CO2 and other GHGs. These reductions can be quantified for ESG reporting and factored into calculations of building owners’ overall climate impact.

Condos/Co-ops

Do you help with Building Performance Standards (ex: LL97)?
Yes. Our team is well-versed in the local building performance standards in all the markets we serve, including NYC's LL97. We invested in making our Optimizer service the most cost-effective option for reducing emissions and complying with regulations without ripping and replacing equipment.
How do you guarantee savings?
By analyzing your building’s historical data, energy usage, and utility bills, we can very accurately calculate your building’s predicted energy and cost savings. We’re so confident in the effectiveness of our Optimizer service that we can guarantee every customer will pay less for their energy after working with us. Parity will cut you a check for the difference otherwise.
What’s included in Parity’s Optimizer service?
Parity micromanages your HVAC systems with our Optimizer service. Our control optimization software remotely and automatically adjusts set points for maximum energy efficiency. Optimizer maximizes the revenue generated from DR events by automating demand response protocols. Pi, our monitoring and alerts dashboard, tracks real-time energy savings, monitors your HVAC systems, and sends timely alerts to your desktop or mobile device. Additionally, you get on-demand access to Parity’s HVAC experts should any problems arise and quarterly savings reports.
What markets do you serve?
We currently operate in Greater Toronto, New York City, North Jersey, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Maryland, Northern Virginia, Delaware, Boston, and parts of New England. Don't see your market? Email contact@paritygo.com to let us know you're interested!
What kind of buildings do you work with?
Parity currently operates in Condos, Co-ops, Rental Apartments, and Hotels. We typically work in buildings that are over 100,000 sq. ft., have 75+ units, and are 6+ stories high. Additionally, building HVAC systems with a central plant (boiler or steam) that utilizes a hot water distribution loop, a mechanical supply/make-up air, and a chilled water distribution loop are best suited to benefiting from our services.

Savings Performance

How do you account for increasing energy costs?
Increasing energy costs is one of the most compelling reasons to use Parity. Our guarantee takes energy price fluctuations into account, so it remains valid even if prices go up.
What happens if Parity generates extra savings?
You pocket the extra savings.💰 Yup, that's right. Working with us is like having a fairy godmother and tooth fairy all in one.
How do you track the progress of the savings guarantee?
Optimizer monitors your building’s HVAC systems 24/7/365. You can access the data and insights via the Pi dashboard. Parity’s reporting service automatically verifies and normalizes the data using IPMVP to generate degree-day weather-adjusted quarterly and yearly reports for you. You’ll have authenticated GHG emissions data at your fingertips to report to leadership, shareholders, board members, tenants, or regulators. All of this available data makes it easy to track how much energy and money you’ve been saving with Optimizer.
What happens if Parity doesn't achieve its guaranteed utility cost savings?
If the data shows Optimizer was ineffective for your building, Parity will cut you a check for the difference between our lower cost estimates and what you actually paid.
