Reduce Operating Costs Without Capital Spend

Every building has hidden potential to reduce utility and common area maintenance (CAM) costs - without major investments. Delivering the same service quality at a lower cost isn’t just good practice - it’s a fiduciary responsibility, especially in today's economy where sustainability and savings must go hand in hand.

“Energy efficiency doesn’t have to mean expensive retrofits,” says Jonathan Gritz, Senior Vice President of Energy Solutions at WellStat. “We’re showing customers that real savings can come from smarter operations, not just new systems.”

Traditionally, the energy efficiency playbook has focused on retrofits and expensive new systems. But what if some of the most impactful savings are already waiting within your current operations? What if energy waste could be cut drastically - without buying a single piece of new equipment?

At WellStat, we’ve built a program that helps customers unlock exactly that kind of low-cost opportunity. Instead of prescribing costly hardware upgrades, we focus on operational excellence: refining how systems are used, correcting wasteful behaviors, and adjusting building performance in real time. Our method blends high-resolution analytics with hands-on expertise - bringing both data and people together to solve real problems on the ground.

“Every building is a snowflake and needs unique solutions,” says Gritz. “But there are common categories of waste - like misaligned equipment schedules, inefficient overnight steam usage, or demand peaks - that we know how to identify and fix.”

The results speak for themselves. Buildings in our programs routinely save over $30,000 per year - without spending a dollar on new hardware. These savings are driven by strategy, not sensors. Insight, not investment.

“We’re not just scratching the surface,” Gritz adds. “We evaluate the full universe of energy efficiency opportunities and prioritize what delivers the fastest, most affordable impact.”

This approach is a game changer for commercial buildings, especially those operating on tight budgets or lean capital plans. By eliminating the need for upfront investment, WellStat removes a major barrier to action. In many cases, the savings are so immediate and substantial that the program pays for itself within weeks.

What makes WellStat unique is not just the technology, but the mindset. We partner with on-site teams to help them understand their energy profiles and guide them through practical improvements. Then, we train them to use our tools to maintain those gains long-term. It’s an empowerment model, nota dependency model.

“We believe in transparency and independence,” says Gritz.“We don’t want customers locked into endless service contracts. We want them to understand how their systems work - and how to keep them working at their best.”

In short, energy efficiency doesn’t have to mean expensive. It can be strategic, data-driven, and operational. It can be rapid, measurable, and self-sustaining. And it can start with what you already have.
