30%
Commercial energy is wasted
Typical U.S. offices, schools, and retail buildings discard nearly a third of the energy they buy because of poor scheduling, drifting setpoints, and unmaintained equipment.
Finding energy waste.
Delivering savings.
We analyze energy data from residential and commercial buildings to identify inefficiencies and waste. Our insights support both utility cost reductions and compliance with local and state energy benchmarking requirements.
How It Works
Compliance Made Simple
Stay compliant with local and state energy benchmarking requirements. We manage the entire process end to end, so you can focus on running your business without worrying about deadlines or paperwork.
Measurable Savings
Cut energy bills without changing how you live or work. Our data-driven analysis finds you opportunities to save on energy costs. We track your savings with clear and simple metrics so you can see the impact on your bottom line.
Transform Insights into Savings
We turn energy data into practical insights that benefit everyone. Our recommendations focus on real usage patterns to deliver measurable savings and reduce waste; making your buildings cheaper to operate and better for the environment.
23%
“Off” devices still drawing load
Fieldwork across Bay Area homes found almost one-quarter of residential electricity is spent on idle electronics, chargers, and always-on appliances.
20%
HVAC energy lost in ducts
Leaky or unbalanced ductwork typically lets one-fifth of heating and cooling energy escape before it reaches the rooms people occupy.
Energy Compliance Services
We ensure you meet regulatory requirements while maximizing energy savings and reducing costs. We combine advanced analytics with deep regulatory expertise to deliver comprehensive compliance solutions that not only keep you on the right side of regulations but also identify opportunities to cut energy waste and lower your operating expenses.
Why Energy Compliance Matters
Build Awareness & Understanding
Energy benchmarking provides building owners with critical insights into their energy consumption patterns. Buildings that benchmark their energy use identify an average of 30% more efficiency opportunities compared to those that don't track their performance, enabling data-driven decisions that reduce waste and costs.
Reduce Energy Bills
Buildings that consistently benchmark and act on their data see measurable financial benefits. ENERGY STAR certified buildings use an average of 35% less energy and generate 35% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than typical buildings.
Protect the Environment
Energy benchmarking is a critical tool in the fight against climate change. Buildings account for approximately 37% of total U.S. energy consumption (including electrical system losses). By tracking and reducing energy use, we can significantly cut carbon emissions and contribute to a more sustainable future.
