When you calculate energy savings from a recommendation, what’s the baseline you use?
Baselines are established from your utility bills, metering data if available, and observed operating hours during the site visit. For example, compressed air savings are calculated relative to the system’s actual operating profile, not just rated capacity. This ensures savings are grounded in observed usage patterns.
And the conversion to dollars — is that based on national averages or local tariffs?
Local tariffs. We collect your utility rate schedules during the assessment, including demand charges, block pricing, and seasonal adjustments. This way, the dollar savings reflect your actual marginal costs, not just average rates.
