It might still be the middle of summer, but let’s talk snowflakes – because when it comes to commercial buildings: No two are exactly alike. Same square footage? Sure. Same HVAC manufacturer? Maybe. But when it comes to how buildings perform, every site has its own quirks, constraints, and character. That’s why energy strategies that work in one place often flop in another.
“Every building is a snowflake,” says Jonathan Gritz, Senior Vice President of Energy Solutions at WellStat. “And anyone who tries to sell you a one-size-fits-all fix probably doesn’t understand how buildings really work.”
At WellStat, we don’t believe in prepackaged solutions. Our programs start with deep listening - onsite visits, interviews, system walk-throughs, and close-up inspections of how your building actually runs. Then we dig into the data. But it’s the combination of data and human insight that delivers the magic.
“You can’t diagnose performance from behind a screen,” Gritz explains. “You need to be in the building, see the overrides, and talk to the people who live with it every day.”
This boots-on-the-ground approach is what makes WellStat different. We understand that while data is critical, it’s not the whole picture. We marry it with the lived reality of operators, tenants, and facilities teams to create targeted strategies that make sense - and stick.
Too often, energy consultants arrive with templated recommendations pulled from a digital twin or AI engine with zero context. Those reports sit on a shelf because they don’t address the real-world constraints that operators face every day.
At WellStat, we go the other way; developing solutions around the building, not the model.
“Our job is to meet buildings where they are,” says Gritz. “Then we build something that’s actually implementable - not just in theory, but in practice.”
The results? Fast wins. Deep savings. And strategies that don’t vanish with the next equipment upgrade. Once savings are realized, we train site teams to maintain performance using our real-time tools - so improvements last long after the initial fix.
Every building deserves its own plan. At WellStat, that’s exactly what we deliver.
