Baseline load
What each building draws when it is closed and empty. The cheapest saving in the portfolio and the easiest to ignore.
Energy across every site you run
The point of measuring more than one building is comparison. Once every site reports the same way, the expensive ones stop hiding in an average.
Where the energy actually goes
HVAC
The single largest controllable load across most commercial estates.
Lighting
Schedulable centrally once the data shows the real occupancy hours.
Tenant and shared services
Worth separating so recharges are based on measurement rather than floor area.
What the data usually catches first
This is where managed energy earns its keep. Portfolios drift back without somebody watching the numbers every month.
- One site with double the baseline of its neighbour
- Buildings conditioned through unoccupied hours
- Changes after a maintenance visit that nobody reported
- Drift back to old settings a few months after a fix
Who this is for
Hotel groups, restaurant and pub groups, retail chains and any business running several buildings with one finance team paying the bills. The larger the portfolio, the more a single badly run site costs before anyone notices.
How a multi-site rollout works
- Start with the sites that spend the most, or a pilot site that represents the rest
- Meter the same loads the same way at every site, so the numbers compare
- Build a baseline for each building before changing anything
- Rank the sites by energy per unit that matters to the business: per room, per cover, per square metre or per opening hour
- Fix the outliers first, then move on to the next site
- Keep watching every month, because sites drift back to old settings

How do you manage energy across several sites?
Measure every site the same way, then compare them on a fair basis such as energy per room, per cover or per square metre. The sites that use more than their peers show where to act first. Ongoing monitoring then catches drift before it adds up.
Do we need monitoring at every site from day one?
No. Many groups start with their largest sites or a single pilot, prove the savings, and roll out from there.
Who sees the data?
Head office sees every site in one view. Each site manager can see their own building. VisionGreen reviews the data monthly as part of energy management and reports the actions and results.
Start with an audit. The SEAI pays €2,000 of it
If you spend over €10,000 a year on energy, the Support Scheme for Energy Audits covers most of the cost. An engineer walks the site and writes up what to fix and what it returns.
