Hotels · Real estate · Energy

Lower operating costs for hotels and industry.

We advise on hotel real estate, deploy energy efficiency that is invoiced only once savings are verified, and structure the capital to grow.

Based in Panama, for projects in any country.

What we do

Three lines of work

Hotel real estate

Acquisitions, repositioning and deal structuring for 4- and 5-star assets.

Energy efficiency

Partner of Cooper Blue Energy. Lower electricity consumption in hotels, healthcare facilities and industry, measured under the IPMVP protocol.

Structured capital

Bridge financing, joint ventures and shared-savings models for owners who want lower OPEX without deploying their own capital.

IB Capital Markets is a partner of Cooper Blue Energy.

Energy efficiency

Nothing is paid until the savings are verified.

The Cooper Blue Energy unit is installed at the main low-voltage switchboard and lowers the site's electricity consumption, above all where motors run: air conditioning, refrigeration, pumping and compressors. Models range from 80 to 1,500 kVA; the right one is chosen from the annual average of your bills. The result is measured at your site under the international IPMVP protocol, before and after the equipment is connected.

6–12%

Savings on electricity consumption. 6% is guaranteed: below it, the equipment is removed at no cost.

30 + 30

Days of measurement without and with the equipment, at the same point with the same instrument.

Source: IPMVP protocol, option B.

20 years

Service life, with no moving parts and no maintenance. 10-year warranty.

100%

Of the savings stay with you when you buy the unit. It is invoiced only against the verification report.

Source: direct purchase model (CAPEX) and contract.

Savings at each site depend on what hangs off the switchboard. That is why the study is built from your bills, your single-line diagram and the load curve of each transformer, not from a catalogue figure. And every kWh not consumed also lowers Scope 2 emissions.

About the Cooper Blue Energy technology

What it is

A compact unit, 6 to 64 kg depending on the model and with no moving parts, connected at the main low-voltage switchboard. 20-year service life, maintenance-free.

Where it performs best

Where consumption comes from motors running long hours: chillers, pumps, compressors, cooling towers and cold rooms. Savings at each point depend on what hangs off it, which is why we ask for the single-line diagram and the load curve of each transformer.

Eight sizes

  • 80
  • 120
  • 220
  • 300
  • 500
  • 750
  • 1,000
  • 1,500
  • kVA

The right one sits just above the annual average demand in kVA, so it runs loaded, which is where it performs best. Not the peak, not the summer average.

Installation

A short scheduled shutdown of 15 to 30 minutes, agreed with maintenance. Machines and operations stay as they are.

What is measured and what is paid

kWh, at the same point with the same instrument: 30 days without the equipment and 30 with it, under the IPMVP protocol (option B). We do not promise a lower demand peak: what is verified, signed and paid for is consumption.

An asset, not an expense

The unit is yours: it pays for itself out of its own savings, and for the rest of its 20-year life the savings are net.

How we work

From the bill to the signed report, in eight steps.

  1. Starting data

    12 months of bills, single-line diagram, load curve per transformer, occupancy or production data, and a photo and the temperature of the electrical room.

  2. Feasibility study

    Installation point, model, expected savings, price and payback.

  3. Contract

    Savings thresholds are signed before installation.

  4. 30-day baseline

    We measure consumption without the equipment, at no cost or commitment.

  5. Installation

    A short, scheduled disconnection agreed with maintenance.

  6. 30-day verification

    Same point, same instrument, IPMVP protocol.

  7. Report and sign-off

    The measured savings and the method, in writing.

  8. Invoice

    Only on verified savings. Below the minimum, the equipment is removed at no cost.

Markets

We work wherever the asset is.
