RetailOften via the FM partner

The person on site is a store manager, not an engineer.

HVAC dominates the load, the landlord frequently owns the meter, and the maintenance record is whatever the visiting technician chose to write down.

The sector problem

Store formats repeat, so consumption should too. When one store runs materially hotter than its twin in the same city, that is a fault — but it only reads as a fault if the two are ever compared.

01Mall common-area charges obscure what the store itself consumed.

02HVAC degrades quietly; nobody logs it until customers complain.

03The facility manager is a contracted third party, measured on their own reports.

Where to start

Attest

Start here

Store-versus-store benchmarking on identical formats, plus an independent read on the FM partner's own reports.

Sustain

Where contracted

Backup power maintenance where the retailer holds it directly rather than through the mall.

Meter

Selective

Submetering earns its place where landlord billing has to be challenged with an independent measurement.

Evidence

CBRE

Working alongside a facility management partner rather than in place of one — the verification layer sits above whoever holds the service contract.
