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