Impact Zero | Engineering, Energy & Sustainability

Energy Efficiency & Auditing

Improve energy performance through engineering analysis, operational optimisation and practical investment planning. Impact Zero supports commercial, industrial, healthcare and public-sector facilities, from identifying losses to verifying improvements.

Discuss your project

Who we support: Commercial and industrial facilities, healthcare, education, government and other asset-intensive operations.

Energy audits and baselines

Scope and deliver facility energy assessments, including AS/NZS 3598:2014 Type 2 audits where appropriate. Establish electricity, gas and other energy baselines, major end uses and operational constraints.

Electricity, gas and demand analysis

Review bills, interval data, tariffs, maximum demand and seasonal load profiles. Distinguish avoidable energy use from network charges and operational requirements.

HVAC and central plant efficiency

Assess chillers, boilers, heat pumps, pumps, fans, ventilation and building management systems. Examine equipment performance, sequencing, setpoints and part-load operation.

Industrial and process efficiency

Review process heating and cooling, compressed air, motors, variable-speed drives, heat recovery and production schedules to identify feasible improvements.

Financial and carbon assessment

Compare capital costs, energy and demand savings, maintenance implications, emissions reductions and implementation risks using transparent assumptions and sensitivity analysis.

Measurement and verification

Define metering and performance indicators, review operating conditions and develop post-implementation measurement and verification plans.

Our engineering approach

  1. Define scope, operating constraints and data availability
  2. Develop an energy-use and demand baseline
  3. Inspect systems and test engineering opportunities
  4. Rank measures by cost, risk, practicality and carbon impact
  5. Support implementation and verify outcomes

Frequently asked questions

Do all projects require a formal energy audit?

No. A targeted plant review, data analysis or engineering feasibility assessment may be more suitable. A formal AS/NZS 3598 audit can be scoped when required.

Can you assess both electricity and gas?

Yes. Assessments can consider electricity, gas, energy demand, operating schedules and relevant tariffs, subject to available data.

Can the analysis support capital planning?

Yes. Feasible measures can be compared using estimated capital expenditure, operational savings, risks and implementation dependencies.
