How This Works
We fund it. We fix it. You keep the savings.
We’ll find it. We’ll fix it.
A clear path from "what is this costing us?" to verified savings on your utility bill, with no capital outlay and no risk to patient care.
Why This Matters More Than the Number Suggests
Energy looks like 1 to 3% of your budget. At a 2% margin, it is 50 to 150% of your profit.
Most leaders file energy under "small cost line." The math says otherwise. When your operating margin is thin, a dollar recovered from
energy is worth far more than a dollar of new revenue, because it drops straight to the bottom line with no added volume, staffing, or risk.
We find those dollars and you keep them. We fund the work, we are paid only from verified savings, and if the savings never materialize,
you owe nothing.
The Five Steps
What actually happens, start to finish
We analyze your utility data
Send us 12 to 24 months of utility bills. We model where your energy spend is going and estimate the savings opportunity. No site visit, no fee, no obligation.
For the CFO: a no-cost, no-commitment first look at the numbers.
1
We audit your facility on site
Our engineers walk your building the way only people who came from inside a health system can. We look at HVAC controls, setpoints, scheduling, terminal units, and equipment runtime, and we know what is clinically safe to touch.
For the facilities director: a second set of expert eyes, no added workload.
2
We implement the fixes and fund them
We coordinate vendors, schedule around clinical operations, and install any needed sensors or controls. Your team approves the work windows. We pay for everything up front.
For the CEO: improvement without a capital request or a board cycle.
3
Savings are verified against your baseline
We measure actual savings against the baseline both parties agreed to before any work began. You see the methodology. Nothing is hidden, nothing is assumed.
For the CFO: transparent, auditable numbers you can defend.
4
You keep 100% of the savings, permanently
We are paid a share of verified savings for the contract term only. When it ends, every dollar is yours. Many facilities leaders put the recovered money toward the deferred maintenance backlog they could never get capital for.
For the facilities director: a self-funding source for deferred maintenance.

We tune the systems you already own, no rip-and-replace required
What We Actually Do
We are not here to sell you new equipment. We find where your building systems are working harder than they need to, and we fix it systematically. Most of what we change is invisible to patients and staff but very visible on your utility bill.
Controls optimization
Your building automation system was commissioned once and never re- tuned. We reset sequences and setpoints to how your building runs today, not how it was designed years ago.
HVAC and mechanical systems
Chiller and boiler sequencing, air handler operation, fan and pump staging. We reduce runtime and reset supply temperatures without anyone in the building noticing.
Demand management
Peak demand charges can be 30 to 40% of a healthcare electric bill. We cut them through load shifting, equipment sequencing, and smarter scheduling of high-draw systems.
Ongoing monitoring
Dashboards and regular reporting show exactly what is being saved, where, and why. If savings drift, we catch it and respond. You do not have to.
The result is typically a 15 to 35% reduction in total energy spend, with no capital outlay required from your organization.
Why this is genuinely zero-risk
You approve a performance agreement, not a purchase. It is an operating expense paid from savings, so most clients never touch a capital committee. We fund the work, and we carry the performance risk: if savings do not appear, you owe nothing.

The Savings Are Bigger Than Your Utility Bill
Peer-reviewed research on energy conservation found that the benefits extend well past the kilowatt-hours saved. When equipment runs fewer hours, it lasts longer, breaks less, and frees up your maintenance team to attack the deferred maintenance backlog instead of chasing breakdowns. Across surveyed facility managers, these effects were measured and added up.
