An energy audit with nothing to sell you

MEP delivers ASHRAE-style, ISO 50001-compatible energy audits for industrial and commercial sites in Mexico. No equipment sales, no vendor affiliations, no commission on what you buy. The audit is the product, built on measured data and documented to hold up in front of your CFO, your procurement committee, and an external auditor.

The first step is not a site visit. It is a short conversation about the plant and the decision in front of you. NDA offered up front.

The free audit problem

An audit is only worth having when the firm doing it has no stake in the answer.

Most free audits are sales tools

The firm running them sells solar, capacitor banks, chillers, or a service contract, and the report tends to recommend exactly that. You repay the free walkthrough later, in the equipment you were steered toward.

Evidence to connectWho paid for the audit, and what do they sell

The recommendation preceded your data

The walkthrough is free because the answer was decided before anyone looked at the bills. If the fix at your site is a load-schedule change and compressed-air repairs, MEP says so, because there is nothing else it is trying to sell.

Evidence to connectMeasured baseline, end-use allocation, operating context

When hardware is justified, you still need a spec

Where capital is genuinely warranted, you get a vendor-neutral specification and an honest bid evaluation on identical terms, not a nudge toward one brand.

Evidence to connectScope of work, bid terms, acceptance points

How the audit holds up

Four tests every finding has to pass before it reaches your CFO, your procurement committee, or an external auditor.

Multi-year baselines

Built from your real electricity, demand, gas, load-factor, and power-factor history rather than a single month or a rule of thumb.

First look12 months of bills, tariff class, demand history

End-use allocation

Consumption allocated across HVAC, compressed air, chilled water, lighting, process loads, cooling towers, and support areas, with a focused measurement campaign where the data does not already exist.

First lookEquipment list, single-line diagram, operating schedule

Every measure carries its numbers

Each energy conservation measure comes with a defined scope, an investment estimate, quantified savings, an annual peso impact, a payback, and an avoided-CO2 figure.

First lookCapital thresholds, budget cycle, approval route

Documented to be defensible

Methodology maps to ASHRAE 211, EN 16247, ISO 50002, and ISO 50001, with savings verification aligned to IPMVP and ISO 50015. A full Level 2 report commonly runs past 300 pages, because that is what it takes to make each number defensible.

  • Continuous eGauge logging starts during the first visit and ends at the second, giving roughly 28 calendar days of effective recording.
  • Representative schedule for one facility. Actual duration depends on site size, data availability, and measurement scope.
Completed ASHRAE-style auditMXN $8.4M

in annual savings identified, blended simple payback under 18 months

In a completed ASHRAE-style audit of a manufacturing facility in San Luis Potosí, roughly MXN $8.4 million in annual savings was identified across five categories of energy conservation measures, with the audit fee recovered within the first billing cycle after implementation began.

That is one facility with its own baseline, and these are identified savings rather than savings verified under M&V. Identified savings across audited sites have historically ranged from around 10 percent to more than 50 percent, depending largely on plant age and operating condition. The only way to know where your site lands is to measure it. MEP does not guarantee savings.

Preliminary assessment

A no-obligation assessment of where savings and any tariff or power-factor exposure likely sit at your plant. You do not need the heaviest tool to start. Match the audit to the decision in front of you.

  • Tariff and peak-demand quick scan, in a single conversation
  • Savings benchmark, bounded scope, a matter of days
  • ASHRAE Level 2 audit, or Level 3 for a major capital decision

Feedback from operating and procurement teams

Organizations remain confidential. Verification contacts are available during qualified evaluation.

The energy audit recommendations were practical and supported by solid financial and operational rationale, making them easy to evaluate and act upon.

Lori C. Procurement Manager, Global Auto Parts Supplier

The energy study was very well done and delivered real results. The team took the time to understand how our plant actually operates and provided clear, practical recommendations.

Ismael H. Plant Manager, Global Mining Company

The support we received on our Power Purchase Agreement was excellent. The team conducted a detailed and professional review.

Héctor V. Plant Manager, Global Battery Manufacturer

Feedback from completed engagements. Client identities remain confidential. Individual results depend on facility profile, tariff, contract terms, and execution.

Start with one plant

The first step is not a site visit. It is a short conversation, so you see a credible first assessment before you commit to anything. Request the assessment and MEP will show you where you stand. NDA signed first.
