Electrical Contractor magazine (EleBlog is friendly with that publication, but not related to it) came out with a release in late November which you might have missed. EleBlog certainly just caught up with it — and IT IS IMPORTANT to people visiting here.
Title: “New Generation Boosts Electrical Contractor Services – Latest Survey Shows New Roles include BIM Expert, EMS Provider, MSI, ESCOs” — here is the key segment, the list of “new generation roles and services:”
- Building Information Modeling (BIM) Expert: Typically filled by the general contractor, BIM is becoming an integral part of the electrical contractor’s work to help eliminate problems before construction
- BIM Modeler: The electrical contractor’s designated BIM user can be responsible for just the project’s electrical system modell
- Energy Management Solutions (EMS) Provider: Typically involving wireless building solutions, electrical contractors have the local business relationships with companies who can benefit from EMS solutions and can both install and support the systems
- Master Systems Integrator (MSI): Many electrical contractors are making a successful transition toward system integration, and those with extensive domain expertise and strong IT skills can manage an even larger percentage of the project
- Building Energy Modeling Expert: Typically handled by the architect, a holistic energy model could potentially be assumed by a knowledgeable, trained and experienced electrical contractor
- Commissioning Agent: Often third-party providers who ensure the system works as designed and intended, an electrical contractor can provide this service for the electrical system
- Energy Solutions Provider or Auditor: The electrical contractor can play a role here as an adviser to the end-user, relative to the energy solutions that can be implemented within the electrical system itself
- Energy Service Companies (ESCOs): As developing technology converges with the electrical infrastructure, the electrical contractor is ideally situated to play the role of adviser and installer to the end-user as energy advisers and agents for change
