Success Story: Property Management

Utility Management Services, Inc. Reduces Utility Expenses for

Greenhouse Condominium

$117,000 in Previously Missed Savings

Kathryn Hutchison, CMCA, AMS, PCAM, is a long-time
customer of Utility Management Services Inc. (UMS) and has
previously worked with UMS through her managerial positions at
Park Place Condominium and The Byron Condominium. Kathryn
recently took on a new role as General Manager at Greenhouse
Condominium - a 16 - story high-rise complex with over 287 units.

In addition to identifying savings, UMS provided documentation
to Kathryn detailing usage changes to reflect the efficiency updates
she had made with their equipment to present to the board. UMS
Account Manager, Mary Greblunas, first met Kathryn when UMS
performed a quarterly audit on one of her previous properties.
Using our proprietary software, Ratemaster, UMS’ certified
Business Energy Professional Analysts searched for billing errors,
overcharges, and ongoing savings opportunities. UMS was able
to find a better rate/rider combination based on their actual usage,
revealing annual savings of $15,540 and an additional $1,500 four
months later!

Within six weeks of Kathryn starting her new position at
Greenhouse Condominium, she reached out to Mary and asked if
UMS could help lower their annual electric bill through the utility
bill audit and analysis. UMS was able to uncover over $28,000 in
annual savings due to a more cost-effective rate/rider combination.
Mary informed Kathryn that she made several attempts, years
prior, to meet with Kathryn’s predecessors and was denied multiple
times— costing Greenhouse $117,000 in savings! Kathryn was
surprised to hear this and replied, “It’s the General Manager/
Property Manager’s responsibility to always make time for a
meeting, if it could save the property money!”

Joann Sordellini, Board President If UMS cannot identify savings, then the services are completely
free. To start the process UMS would need an appropriate signature
& Mary Greblunas, UMS Account Manager on the Service Agreement, a Power Provider’s specific LOA and
one recent bill copy of your electric accounts.
