Plan before you commit

Four free tools built around the same questions we ask in a real assessment: what could a program save, when does it pay back, how long would rollout take — and which program is the right place to start? Everything runs instantly. Nothing is collected.

Utility & Resource Savings Estimator

Tool 1
Estimated annual savings
$30,000
Across all sites, at target reduction
Estimated 5-year savings
$150,000
Before program costs
Monthly equivalent
$2,500
Per month, portfolio-wide
Planning estimate only. Achievable reductions vary by facility. A GFS baseline assessment replaces these assumptions with measured data.

Project Payback Calculator

Tool 2
Simple payback period
2.7 years
Cost ÷ net annual savings
5-year net position
+$62,500
Cumulative net savings after cost
Simple 5-year ROI
83%
Net return on cost
Simple-payback model. Excludes financing, escalation, and incentives. The same first-pass screen we use before recommending a pilot.

Multi-Site Rollout Planner

Tool 3
Estimated program timeline
~6 months
Pilot + lead-in + rollout
Rollout phase
2.5 months
Remaining sites after pilot
Validation gate
Month 3
Go / no-go decision point
Indicative schedule. Assumes a 4-week assessment lead-in. Real programs are scheduled around your operating constraints.

Program-Match Assessment

Tool 4
Question 1 of 5

Where are you in the process right now?

Question 2 of 5

How many sites are in scope?

Question 3 of 5

What matters most here?

Question 4 of 5

How confident are you in your current data?

Question 5 of 5

What's your risk appetite on this investment?

How to Use These Numbers

From estimate to evidence

These tools answer "is it worth a conversation?" — a GFS program answers "is it worth the capital?"

1

Screen with estimates

Use the tools with your real numbers. If payback looks acceptable on a rough estimate, the opportunity deserves a proper look.

2

Get a real baseline

A GFS assessment measures your actual consumption, costs, and constraints — turning the sliders into a documented baseline.

3

Validate before rollout

A controlled pilot proves the savings at one site before you commit to fifty. The calculator models it; the program verifies it.
