02What's actually in the retainer

The work, enumerated.

Most "fractional" engagements are a slack channel and a quarterly call. Ours isn't. Here's the operating cadence — every line is a real deliverable, not a "deliverable framework".

Recurring

  • R/01
    Monthly energy review
    kWh, kW peaks, EnPI vs. baseline. Two pages, no jargon.
    Monthly
  • R/02
    Site walkdown
    2–4 hrs. Switchgear, plant room, key end-uses. Photo log.
    Monthly
  • R/03
    Operations Slack/Viber
    Direct line to the engineer for ad-hoc questions.
    Daily
  • R/04

03Fit

Honest about who this is for. And who it isn't.

You're a 50–500 MWh/month operation that needs an energy strategy, not another audit.

  • Manufacturing, hotels, cold chain, hospitals, BPO campuses, industrial estates
  • You're a Designated Establishment under RA 11285 — or about to become one
  • You've already had an audit; the report is on a shelf; nothing has happened
  • Your CFO wants a number on the slide and you don't have a CEM
  • You're listed (PSE) and the SEC sustainability report is now real work
  • You'd rather pay one engineer the truth than three vendors a margin

You're better served elsewhere if any of these are true.

  • You need someone for < 6 months — talk to us about Tier 02 (project execution)
  • You're shopping for the lowest hourly rate
  • You want a deck for a tender. We don't do those.
  • You want us to also sell you the equipment
  • You want carbon offsets sourced. We don't broker.
  • You need a CEM full-time. Hire one — we'll help you scope the role.
04How a 12-month engagement actually runs

The first year, in five movements.

01 / 05
Wk 0 — 2
Onboard.

Bills, drawings, SLDs, equipment list. We come on-site for a full day. We leave with a baseline workplan, not a proposal.

02 / 05
Wk 2 — 8
Baseline & map.

Sub-meter what's missing. Build the EnPI dashboard. Rank end-uses by saving potential. Identify the obvious 5–10% at zero capex.

03 / 05
Wk 8 — 24
Capture quick wins.

Setpoints, sequencing, idle losses, tariff slot-shifting. We'll typically lock in 8–15% before any capex moves.

04 / 05
Wk 24 — 36
Specify capex.

The retrofit shortlist becomes a board paper. NPV, IRR, M&V plan. We chair the vendor selection.

05 / 05
Wk 36 — 52
Compound.

DOE annual report. ISO 50001 surveillance. Year-2 plan. By now your team owns the dashboard — we're tuning, not driving.

05FAQ

The questions finance asks first.

Q/01
Why fractional, not full-time?

For 80% of mid-market operators, a full-time CEM is over-staffed: 2 days a week of senior judgement is what the role actually needs. The rest is plant-side execution your team already does — better than we would.

Q/02
Who is the named engineer?

We tell you on the intro call and put it in the SOW. If they're hit by a bus, our deputy is named in advance. You never inherit a rotation.

Q/03
Do you sell equipment?

No. We have no margin in any vendor's quote. That's the whole point.

Q/04
What if we don't save anything?

You won't be in that position — but the retainer is month-to-month after month 12. The longest engagement we've lost was 26 months in, when the client hired one of our associates as their full-time CEM. Which we recommended.

Q/05
Can the retainer flex up for an audit?

Yes. Type 1 / Type 2 audits, ISO 50001 builds, M&V on a major retrofit — we scope these as "extra days" inside the same contract. No new MSA.

Q/06
Where are you based?

Makati. We're physically on-site in Luzon plants without travel charges; Visayas/Mindanao add a per-day site rate quoted upfront.
