Energy efficiency measures have many benefits beyond reducing energy
costs and CO2 emissions: when implemented, technical systems and
equipment perform better and break down less often. Machinery and
equipment run more smoothly or quietly (motors); they meet temperature, air
purity or humidity requirements more reliably for safer processes and higher
quality products; they add less heat to the environment or provide better air
or light quality for operator or occupant comfort.

Overall, the non-energy benefits take the form of productivity improvements,
better and more reliable products or services, more comfortable and safer
working conditions, and a reduction in many risks, including business
continuity risks, for the investing company.

When these positive impacts are included in the evaluations in addition to
strictly energy-related impacts (as identified, for example, by an energy
audit), energy efficiency investments reveal their true strategic and financial
value. This is what MBENEFITS is all about.

Non-energy benefits: Translating knowledge into action

Non-energy benefits are rarely included in financial appraisals due to a general lack
of a methodology and skills.
MBENEFITS fills this gap by providing a methodology for comprehensive,
cross-functional and accurate assessment of energy transition &
decarbonization investments.

The MBENEFITS methodology enables you to identify and evaluate all non-
energy impacts of energy efficiency, renewable energy and decarbonization
investments thanks to our simple 4-step analysis methodology embedded in easy-to-use
software. Analysis results are standardized to better compare projects, or
different scopes and timelines for the same project.

We train energy and carbon industry professionals in strategic
investment decision-making concepts and methodologies to make their
investment proposals look more strategic (and therefore more attractive) to
senior management.

MBENEFITS is the result of 15 years of academic and field research
(knowledge base).
