Energy Metering Setup & Quick-Win Audit

Metering locations to install or verify

Select the physical points to meter or verify. Start with main feed plus any high-energy processes or headers.

Main service / main feed

Production line / cell feed

Critical subpanel(s)

Compressed air header

HVAC / AHU

Boiler / steam

Lighting circuits

Motors / VFDs

Other (describe below)

Recommended data resolution

Higher resolution (seconds) helps detect short transient events; 1–15 minute resolution is often enough for operational insights with fewer storage needs.

Suggested baseline period

Choose a baseline that represents normal operations. Longer baselines reduce the effect of atypical days.

Have you established an energy baseline for the selected period?

A baseline means you have captured metered data for the chosen period or have a documented historical usage level.

Quick-win items to check during walkdown

Mark the items you will inspect. Use the Quick-Win Details section below to capture estimates and owners.

Idle or unattended equipment (turn-off opportunities)

Compressed air leaks and inappropriate uses

HVAC scheduling and setpoints

Lighting controls and daylighting

VFD tuning and motor control

Steam traps and insulation

Process sequencing and staging

Waste heat recovery or setpoint rollback

Other (describe below)

If you selected 'Other', describe it here

Briefly describe other quick-win observations.

Quick-Win Details (use up to five entries)

For each top opportunity, record a short description, estimated kW reduction or behavior change, hours per day impacted, estimated annual kWh saved, estimated annual cost saving, estimated implementation cost, priority (1 low–5 high), owner, and a target completion date. These estimates let you compute simple payback and prioritize follow-up.

Opportunity 1 — short description

e.g., 'Turn off idle press during lunch and shift change'.

Opportunity 1 — estimated kW reduction (if measured)

Enter the kW reduction when the measure is implemented. Leave blank if unknown.

Opportunity 1 — hours per day impacted

Average hours per day the reduction would apply.

Opportunity 1 — estimated annual kWh saved

If you can, compute: kW × hours per day × operating days per year. Otherwise leave blank and estimate.

Opportunity 1 — estimated annual cost savings (currency)

Use your facility rate (cost per kWh) to estimate annual $ savings.

Opportunity 1 — estimated implementation cost (currency)

Opportunity 1 — priority

Select a priority to help sequence follow-up.

Opportunity 1 — owner (name or role)

Opportunity 1 — target completion date

Enter a date or target week. The platform can later be extended to schedule reminders.

Opportunity 2 — short description

Opportunity 2 — estimated kW reduction (if measured)

Opportunity 2 — hours per day impacted

Opportunity 2 — estimated annual kWh saved

Opportunity 2 — estimated annual cost savings (currency)

Opportunity 2 — estimated implementation cost (currency)

Opportunity 2 — priority

Opportunity 2 — owner (name or role)

Opportunity 2 — target completion date

Opportunity 3 — short description

Opportunity 3 — estimated kW reduction (if measured)

Opportunity 3 — hours per day impacted

Opportunity 3 — estimated annual kWh saved

Opportunity 3 — estimated annual cost savings (currency)

Opportunity 3 — estimated implementation cost (currency)

Opportunity 3 — priority

Opportunity 3 — owner (name or role)

Opportunity 3 — target completion date

Opportunity 4 — short description

Opportunity 4 — estimated kW reduction (if measured)

Opportunity 4 — hours per day impacted

Opportunity 4 — estimated annual kWh saved

Opportunity 4 — estimated annual cost savings (currency)

Opportunity 4 — estimated implementation cost (currency)

Opportunity 4 — priority

Opportunity 4 — owner (name or role)

Opportunity 4 — target completion date

Opportunity 5 — short description

Opportunity 5 — estimated kW reduction (if measured)

Opportunity 5 — hours per day impacted

Opportunity 5 — estimated annual kWh saved

Opportunity 5 — estimated annual cost savings (currency)

Opportunity 5 — estimated implementation cost (currency)

Opportunity 5 — priority

Opportunity 5 — owner (name or role)

Opportunity 5 — target completion date

Facility average cost per kWh (currency)

Use your utility rate including demand components if desired. This helps convert kWh savings to $ savings.

Overall estimated annual kWh savings (sum of opportunities)

Overall estimated annual cost savings (currency)

Notes, measurement plan, and verification

Record how you will verify savings (meter locations, sample rate, verification period), and any assumptions used in estimates.

Audit owner (name or role)

Immediate follow-up actions

List next steps, who will do them, and a target timeframe.
