Facility Optimization Consulting
Why Facilities Need Optimization Now
Energy eats 30–50% of industrial costs, yet most sites leak efficiency through bad habits or old gear. Audits reveal 10–30% savings potential, per global benchmarks.
Wharton makes it stick. No cookie cutter plans – just results.
- Grid tariffs climb 8–12% yearly in India
- Water scarcity hikes treatment costs
- ESG scores tank without efficiency proof
Energy and Water Efficiency Audits
Know your baseline. Our facility optimization kicks off with detailed audits mapping energy flows, water use and waste hotspots across HVAC, lighting, processes and more.
Teams hunt low hanging fruit like oversized motors or dripping valves.
Discoveries include:
Metered consumption breakdowns by system
Load profiles and peak shaving options
Leak detection and behavioural tweaks
Payback calcs under 12 months
Kaizen Energy Treasure Hunts
Hunt highlights:
• Cross team walkthroughs and brainstorming
• Real time fixes (valves, timers, insulation)
• Training baked in for ownership
• Prioritised list with ROIs and timelines
Net Zero Readiness Assessments
Net zero looms. We benchmark your facility against SBTi paths, scoring gaps in emissions, efficiency and renewables.
Assessment covers:
- Scope 1/2 carbon footprint
- Transition barriers and accelerators
- Electrification/renewable feasibility
- Policy alignment and capex plans
Renewable Energy and Alternatives
Options explored:
• Rooftop/ground solar PV sizing
• Biomass/wind hybrids
• Efficiency enablers like batteries
• PPA vs captive models
Green power, green profits.
