Prepare an Investment Brief
Support a funding request for assessment or measurement with staged spend and clear deliverables.
Intended reader: Asset / investment decision makers
Suggested talking points
- Problem: unknown plant performance and unprioritised conservation spend.
- Option A: digital opportunity assessment / hunt (SGD 149 to 395).
- Option B: chiller performance study (from SGD 4,950) (measured kW/RT).
- Option C: Measure + Optimise + Verify (from SGD 9,950) before and after pathway.
- Success metric: measured performance data and prioritised interventions, not a slide deck of offsets.
The ask
Fund a defined pilot with site, scope, and reporting milestones.

Life-cycle view
Avoid icebergs: procurement is not the whole cost
CapEx is visible. Energy, maintenance, and performance drift sit below the waterline for decades.

What the bid shows
Life-cycle costs
Energy, maintenance, downtime, carbon, and re-procurement
Conceptual. Measurement makes the submerged cost visible before you commit capital.

What a plant efficiency step-change can look like
Example model inputs and outputs for a large cooling plant retrofit. Not an offer. Not a guarantee. Tariff, load, and CAPEX vary by site.

Illustrative structure
Drawn from structured plant-performance financing models used in industry presentations. Negawatts.io will size every project from site data. DIFY field work is typically considered when indicative annual conservation value is SGD 50,000 or more.
