Utility & Energy Audits
Utility & Energy Cost Audits and Optimization
MX3 delivers comprehensive utility and energy cost audits designed to reduce operating expenses, improve billing accuracy, and stabilize one of the most volatile components of real estate operating costs. Energy is often a material line item within CAM and property OPEX, yet it is rarely scrutinized with the same rigor as other expenses. MX3 applies a disciplined, data-driven approach to ensure energy costs are accurate, market-aligned, and strategically managed.
Our process begins with a detailed review of historical utility usage, rate structures, supplier contracts, and billing data at the asset and portfolio level. We identify billing errors, tariff misapplications, demand charge inefficiencies, and opportunities to optimize rate classes—recovering overcharges where applicable and eliminating ongoing cost leakage. This audit phase establishes a clean, defensible baseline for future cost control and NOI protection.
Building on this foundation, MX3 designs and implements customized electricity procurement and hedging strategies aligned to each asset’s load profile, geographic exposure, and ownership risk tolerance. Using supplier benchmarking, real-time market intelligence, and structured aggregation, we help clients secure competitive pricing while mitigating exposure to market volatility. Our solutions range from wholesale aggregation pools for smaller portfolios to fully customized, dynamically managed procurement strategies for large or complex real estate owners.
