Sustainability Strategy

Targets are easy. Getting there is engineering.

SRG builds long-term sustainability and decarbonization roadmaps grounded in real engineering data — credible targets, the right projects in the right order, and a capital case with numbers that hold up.

A roadmap is only as good as the data underneath it

Most sustainability plans fail at the same point: the commitment is made before anyone establishes what the buildings are actually doing. We start at the other end.

Grounded in field work

Built from observed conditions

Our roadmaps come out of the same audit discipline behind our investment-grade work — field observation, utility calibration, and documented assumptions.

Credible targets

Commitments you can actually meet

We size the achievable reduction before the target is announced, so the goal and the capital plan tell the same story to your board and your stakeholders.

Independent

No technology to sell

SRG represents no manufacturer and installs nothing. The measures we recommend are the ones the data supports, in the order the economics justify.

From baseline to a funded multi-year plan

Engage the whole arc or any single piece of it. Most clients begin with portfolio benchmarking and build outward from what it reveals.

Establish the baseline

Portfolio benchmarking and EUI analysis

Building-by-building energy use intensity, utility load shape analysis, and peer comparison — the outliers are usually where the first projects live.

Set the direction

Decarbonization and sustainability roadmaps

Phased pathways covering electrification, envelope, controls, and operations, each with projected reduction, cost, and dependency on the phases before it.

Fund the work

Capital planning and prioritization

A multi-year capital plan that sequences measures by payback, risk, and equipment life, with the technical backing to defend it in a budget cycle.

Where the reductions actually come from

Across a technology campus of more than 20 metered buildings, monthly electrical use ranged from 1.5–1.8 million kWh in the largest buildings down to 4,000–15,000 kWh in support facilities. Portfolio visibility is what turns a target into a project list.

Projected annual utility cost reduction on a nine-building municipal portfolio once field-level findings were built into the plan

On that portfolio, the dominant recoverable load was excessive outdoor-air conditioning — ventilation increases from the pandemic era that were never dialed back. No target-setting exercise finds that. Field work does.

Build a roadmap that survives contact with the budget

Whether you are setting a first target or trying to fund a plan you already announced, we can put engineering behind it.
