FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A utility audit involves a structured site visit by our engineers -- reviewing equipment records, measuring current performance (flow, pressure, temperature, energy consumption) and comparing actual against design. We then produce a written report with prioritised findings and costed recommendations.
A focused audit of one utility system (e.g. boiler house or compressed air) typically takes one to two days on site. A whole-plant utility audit covering multiple systems usually takes two to four days, depending on plant size.
In our experience, utility audits in manufacturing plants typically identify savings of 15-35% of current utility energy costs -- the largest opportunities usually being in compressed air leaks, boiler efficiency and cooling tower performance.
Yes -- we work alongside project teams from early design stage, providing utility capacity sizing, equipment specifications, layout recommendations and infrastructure design standards.
Yes -- many clients retain us on a periodic basis to monitor implementation of recommendations, provide technical support for their utility engineers and conduct annual performance reviews.
