Energy planning & building performance
Know your buildings before you invest in them.
Every facility a Nation owns tells a story in its utility bills, its comfort complaints and its maintenance log. Green Summit helps Tribal Nations and Tribal organizations understand those facilities, compare improvements on engineering evidence, verify that systems operate as intended and evaluate solar, storage and resilience opportunities, inside the Nation's own approval and procurement processes.

What we offer Tribal Nations and Tribal organizations
ASHRAE Level I, II & III Energy Audits
Understand where a facility is losing value, with audits at the depth your decision requires.
Battery Storage & Load-Management Advisory
Size storage around a defined job, starting from facility loads and tariffs rather than a capacity chosen in isolation.
Building Systems Commissioning & Functional Verification
Verify that a facility's systems work together as intended, with deficiencies documented and follow-through coordinated.
Commercial Air-Leakage Testing
Whole-building air-leakage testing by Commercial Envelope Testing Co., a wholly owned Green Summit company, planned as part of closeout.
Distributed Energy Consulting
Decide on the energy investment before choosing equipment, connecting loads with costs, tariffs, incentives and verification.
Energy Modeling
Compare design and retrofit choices for housing, community and commercial buildings before committing to them.
ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager Benchmarking & Portfolio Analysis
A repeatable view of which of the Nation's buildings need attention, and why.
EV Charging & Electrification Planning
Plan charging and other new electrical loads before equipment is selected, connecting demand, site capacity and operations.
Manual D Duct Design
Connect airflow requirements, equipment performance and available space with the duct system the crew will install.
Manual J Load Calculations
Start Tribal housing HVAC design from the calculated load, not a rule of thumb.
Manual S Equipment Selection
Select residential HVAC equipment for the conditions it will actually serve, matched to the calculated loads.
Measurement & Verification
Know what an improvement changed and why, with a credible baseline, the right data and a documented method.
Microgrid & Resilience Planning
Define which community services must keep running before choosing how to power them.
Solar & Battery Feasibility
Evaluate solar and battery storage against facility demand, site conditions, project economics and the Nation's operating priorities.
Solar Inspections & Performance Verification
Look beyond the production total: inspections, commissioning support and performance review tailored to the installed system.
Strategic Consulting
Make the next facilities decision with building performance, compliance, incentives and capital priorities in view together.
Thermal Storage & Grid-Interactive Buildings
Evaluate when energy is needed, not only how much; advisory and modeling approaches now in development.
How we work with your team
Start from the Nation's priorities.
We work with your designated facilities and energy leaders, and every recommendation moves through the Nation's approval and procurement processes.
Measure before we recommend.
Audits, models and field verification give the Nation engineering evidence to compare improvements, not a vendor's estimate.
Transfer knowledge as we go.
Community members take part in audits, testing and verification so the capability stays with the Nation.
