Industrial Audits
Certified Energy Managers deploy circuit-level monitoring for weeks to months, replacing utility-bill guesswork with continuous measured data a single-day walkthrough can't reveal. The result is a defensible list of ECMs ranked by what your facility actually does — not what an estimator thinks it does.
Why Monitoring-Based Audits?
Walkthrough audits capture a single moment. We log circuit-level kW, kWh, and power factor every few seconds for weeks — so seasonal swings, weekend creep, and idle-load waste all surface in the data instead of getting averaged into a utility bill.
We segment load by schedule to expose what's running when nobody is in the building. Lighting circuits, HVAC fans, plug loads, and process equipment that should be off after hours are flagged with measured kW and dollar impact attached.
By correlating energy use with production output, we separate true process load from fixed overhead. The result is an accurate kWh-per-unit baseline and a clear view of how much energy your facility burns when no product is moving.
Every Energy Conservation Measure is backed by weeks of measured behavior — not a one-day estimate. That means tighter savings projections, defensible payback math, and ECMs that survive scrutiny from finance, plant management, and utility program reviewers.
Traditional vs. Monitoring-Based
Our Process
CEMs install non-invasive current sensors on main switchgear, sub-panels, and key process loads.
Interval data streams to the cloud for weeks to months, capturing every operating mode.
We profile each load against schedule, weather, and production to isolate waste.
An ASHRAE-aligned report ranks ECMs by measured savings, cost, and payback.
We project-manage implementation and use the same sensors for IPMVP-grade M&V.
Turnkey Project Capabilities
We don't hand you a binder and walk away. Once the data confirms an opportunity, the same team can deploy energy and water sub-metering, run the retrofit, and verify performance against the measured baseline — all on one contract.
Tell us about your facility and we'll scope a monitoring-based audit — sensor count, deployment duration, and the ECMs we expect the data to uncover.
A walk-through captures one day, usually a weekday during occupied hours, and fills the gaps with engineering estimates. A monitoring-based audit installs metering first and analyzes weeks of continuous interval data, so recommendations rest on how equipment actually behaves at night, on weekends, and on down days rather than on nameplate assumptions.
Monitoring is deployed first, then data collects long enough to cover the operating patterns that matter — occupied and unoccupied periods, production and non-production days, and ideally a range of weather. Analysis and the recommendation package follow. The collection window, not the fieldwork, sets the schedule.
Sensor installation on existing circuits is non-invasive and does not require taking loads offline. Where a measurement point needs a planned outage or a pipe tie-in, it is identified during the walk-through and scheduled around your calendar. The analysis phase requires nothing from your operation at all.
A prioritized list of energy conservation measures, each tied to the metered behavior that identified it, with the assumptions and calculation basis shown so your team and your finance group can check the work. Measures that qualify for utility programs are flagged, and the same interval data becomes the pre-installation baseline if you file.
Yes. The same team can carry a measure from identification through installation and post-implementation verification, and the monitoring stays in place to show whether the expected change actually appeared in the data. That continuity is the point — most audits end at the report, where verification should begin.
It is designed to. Custom rebate tracks require a documented pre-installation baseline and comparable post-installation measurement; continuous interval data already collected for the audit supplies both. Emergent files as a registered Trade Ally in PECO, PPL, and FirstEnergy territories.
The same dataset feeds compliance work: metered baselines, tenant-versus-base-building separation, and year-over-year comparisons. Across our monitored portfolio that continuity is what makes performance claims defensible when a regulator, lender, or auditor asks how a number was derived.
