Every figure is the gap between a baseline agreed in advance and metered consumption afterwards — below are the shapes of outcome we typically see, and the method behind them

Figures on this page are typical or illustrative ranges from our method, not audited results for a named site — your own baseline sets the real numbers
Typical outcomes, illustrative
Three typical outcomes
Anonymised composites of the kind of result we see — they show the shape of the work, and are illustrative until your own baseline replaces them
Illustrative
Frozen food cold store
6,400 m³ · 4 compressors
−31%lower monthly consumption
Before
100
After
69
What we found
Compressors ran almost continuously overnight with no change in load — a 22 m suction run had lost its insulation
What we did
Re-insulated the suction header, floated head pressure, rebuilt the defrost schedule and re-staged the compressors
Starts per hour from 9 to 3

Dairy processing plant
3 lines · 24/5 operation
−19%lower annual energy cost
Before
100
After
81
What we found
Demand charges were a third of the bill — two panels showed terminations running far above their neighbours
What we did
Moved chilled-water pull-down and CIP out of the peak window, repaired the hot terminations and balanced the phases
One panel fault caught before it stopped a line

Meat and poultry cold chain
2 chambers · blast freezer
−24%lower consumption
Before
100
After
76
What we found
Door seals and a dock curtain were leaking — the blast freezer never reached setpoint on schedule
What we did
Sealed the envelope, corrected evaporator fan control and superheat, added door interlocks
Pull-down shortened by about 40 minutes per batch
How savings are verified
A saving is only a saving if it is measured against something agreed in advance — this is the method behind every figure we publish
Baseline period
Corrections made
Reporting period
Verified saving
Baseline
At least two weeks of metered consumption, logged with outdoor temperature, production and stored tonnage, before any change is made
Measurement and verification
We follow the principles of IPMVP: isolate the part of the plant that changed, measure it before and after, and report the difference — where the whole site is the right boundary, whole-facility metering is used instead
Sub-metering
Separate meters on the compressors, condensers and evaporator fans so a saving can be traced to the system that produced it, not lost in the site total
Normalisation
Results are adjusted for weather and throughput — if conditions alone could explain the change, we say so
An honest smaller number that survives your finance team’s questions is worth more than a bigger one that does not
Built for sites where refrigeration is the biggest line on the bill
The physics is the same everywhere — the load, the doors and the hours are not
Frozen food
Blast freezers, low-temperature stores, dock areas
Dairy
Process cooling, chilled water and CIP cycles
Meat and poultry
Chilling, cutting halls and cold-chain distribution
Pharma cold rooms
Validated 2 to 8 °C rooms where stability matters more than anything
Logistics hubs
Multi-temperature warehouses with constant door traffic
Questions we hear first
Are these figures from named clients?
No — they are anonymised composites that show the typical shape of a result — when we publish a named case it comes with the client’s approval and its own baseline
What stops a saving being weather luck?
Normalisation — consumption is adjusted for outdoor temperature and throughput before and after — if conditions alone explain the change, the report says so
Who owns the baseline?
You do — it is written down and signed off by both sides before any change, so there is no argument afterwards
