Data collection
Our technical team works with you to gather relevant information and facility readings. We review what each reading represents and whether it covers the necessary operating conditions.
SERVICES
Know where to act. And why.
A useful audit turns consumption and measurements into investment decisions. We analyse energy and water to identify opportunities and set priorities.

ENERGY & WATER AUDITING
Understand the opportunity before you invest.
We enter the facility, connect measurements with your activity and turn findings into priorities. You can then decide what to adjust, what to upgrade and what needs further investigation.
How we work with you
01Measure
See what happens, where it happens.
A bill gives you the total. Site inspections and measurements help identify the equipment, schedules and processes behind that consumption.
- Review bills, readings and operating schedules.
- Walk through major energy and water uses with your team.
- Define additional measurements where information is missing.
WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY
A consumption map and a clear view of missing data.
02Interpret
Every reading needs context.
We compare profiles with output, occupancy and operating conditions. The aim is to find opportunities without confusing an essential load with avoidable consumption.
- Build a reference for comparing periods.
- Review HVAC, pumping, compressed air and other relevant uses.
- Investigate causes before recommending changes.
WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY
Explained technical opportunities with explicit assumptions.
A question many plants share.
Why do we consume energy when production stops?
An hourly profile can reveal a persistent load. We then investigate what keeps it running: standby equipment, auxiliaries or essential services. Measurement shows where to look; engineering determines what to change.
READING THE PROFILEConceptual example
Activity changes. So does load.
DemandActivity window
The aim is to explain persistent load and check it against process needs. This diagram does not represent client data.
03Prioritise
From diagnosis to investment decisions.
Measures are ranked for technical and economic fit. The plan separates operational adjustments from projects that need design, budgeting or a scheduled shutdown.
- Estimate investment and potential savings with visible assumptions.
- Consider dependencies, constraints and estimated return.
- Agree priorities and next steps with your team.
WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY
A report and an actionable roadmap.

THE THREES APPROACH
From readings to an action plan.
Threes’ sustainability audit follows three connected stages. Each prepares the next so the final report supports concrete decisions.
Analysis and return
Analysis establishes a baseline and identifies improvement opportunities. Assessment connects potential savings, investment and application conditions to evaluate estimated return.
Report and roadmap
The output brings together findings and an action plan. Opportunities are presented with priorities and assumptions that need validation before implementation.
Electrical demand
When load peaks and which equipment contributes.
Specific consumption
How energy per unit of activity changes.
Water balance
How the resource is distributed across identified uses.
Operating profile
What remains active when operations change.
TAILORED TO YOUR FACILITY
One method.
Different priorities.
Industry
Investigate consumption by process or shift, off-production loads and auxiliary-system operation.
Buildings
Connect HVAC, occupancy and schedules to identify adjustments while considering comfort.
Water
Understand supply and use balances, pumping energy and opportunities to reduce losses.
YOUR STARTING POINT
Let’s start with
your facility.
For a useful first conversation, share:
Utility bills and consumption records, operating schedules, production data and an inventory of major equipment.
Let’s discuss your projectWhy does the plant still consume energy when production stops?
A load profile may reveal sustained demand outside production hours. The next step is to check it against operations: standby equipment, auxiliary systems or essential loads. An action and a way to verify its effect can then be defined.
Where do we begin?
With the facilities you want to assess and the consumption data you already have. We then define any additional information needed.
Does an audit include implementing improvements?
The audit defines opportunities and priorities. We can then support the implementation of agreed measures.
