Services that actively reduce energy cost and risk
Clearknowledgebase provides a suite of services that integrate analytics, controls, and commercial strategy into operational workflows. Our platform unifies meter and IoT feeds, normalizes usage by weather and occupancy, and creates hourly visibility across portfolios. With that foundation we build operational interventions and procurement strategies that reduce peak exposure, lower site-level consumption, and create measurable financial returns. All engagements begin with a focused pilot to validate savings, then transition to a governed roll out and continuous monitoring program. Our services are designed to deliver results in the near term while building the capabilities required for long term resilience and sustainability.
Platform and analytics (data foundation)
The platform is the foundation for reliable cost management. We ingest high resolution meter data, building management system telemetry, and third party tariff feeds to create normalized, auditable consumption and cost models. Normalization accounts for weather, production schedules, and occupancy so savings estimates are defensible and comparable across sites. Our analytics include anomaly detection, rolling 24-hour peak windows, and tariff-aware forecasting that reveals the marginal cost of load by hour. This enables finance and operations teams to prioritize interventions with the largest financial impact. The platform also provides role based dashboards and automated notifications so teams can act on events that drive charges. Data governance, retention policies, and API access are part of the delivery so clients retain operational control and vendor independence while accelerating insight-driven decisions.
Operational demand management (controls and execution)
Operational demand management focuses on reducing peak and shiftable consumption without degrading service. We design automated load orchestration and event management that integrates with building management systems, energy storage, and site controls. Controls are prioritized by financial impact and operational acceptability and include staged HVAC adjustments, scheduled deferrable loads, and targeted battery dispatch. Each automation is tested in pilot sites with clear acceptance criteria and rollback controls. Event orchestration is paired with human-in-the-loop notifications so site teams remain in control. We also train operations staff and provide playbooks for manual interventions when automation is not desired. Continuous measurement verifies savings and flags drift so performance remains predictable. This approach unlocks utility incentive programs and demand response revenues while protecting occupant comfort and operational integrity.
Key outcomes
- Reduced monthly peak charges
- Operational playbooks and trained staff
- Continuous validation and regression monitoring
Strategic procurement and advisory
Procurement advisory uses the platform's insights to negotiate better supply arrangements and optimize tariffs. We model portfolio exposures across time-of-use rates, capacity charges, and supplier contract structures to identify cost saving opportunities and hedge strategies. Our advisory also supports decisions on onsite generation, storage, and electrification investments by forecasting marginal cost reductions and payback periods under realistic operating scenarios. Procurement engagements include competitive bid support, contract clause reviews, and transition plans that preserve operational flexibility. We work closely with in-house energy, finance, and legal teams so recommendations align with risk tolerances and corporate sustainability commitments. The result is a procurement program that reduces price volatility, lowers expected energy spend, and creates a clear path for capital investment when it drives net value.
How to engage
Engagements start with a short discovery and data readiness assessment. Pilots focus on a small set of sites with quantifiable success metrics. After validation we provide a roll out plan with governance and monitoring. Every engagement includes training and operational documentation so savings are sustained.
