Performance Monitoring Study
Remove guesswork. Establish the baseline. Build an ROI case you can defend.
Vistech's Performance Monitoring Study captures real operational data from your cooling system to validate consumption, expose inefficiencies, and strengthen the commercial case for investment.
WHY MONITORING MATTERS
Most Cooling Systems Waste Money Quietly
Many legacy cooling systems are running inefficiently, but without instrumentation and trend data, the true cost remains hidden.
Engineering teams often assume the system is optimised because it is stable.
Finance teams assume savings are limited because nobody can prove otherwise.
Performance Monitoring bridges that gap.
It provides measurable baseline data and reveals where electricity and water are being consumed unnecessarily.
When Monitoring Is the Right Next Step
- Your cooling system is operational, but energy costs remain high
- Savings opportunities exist but require proof for approval
- The system has evolved over time and lacks a clear design basis
- Control strategy is unclear or inconsistent
- Cooling load varies significantly with production demand
- Internal teams believe the system is already optimised
- You need data to justify FEED or capital investment
- There is uncertainty around true duty, capacity, or resilience
In short: when the commercial opportunity looks real, but you need evidence.
What We Measure
We Capture the Data That Drives Cost and Risk
Depending on your site, monitoring may include measurement and trending of:
This provides a true picture of how the system behaves under real production conditions.
- Pump electrical consumption (kW)
- Fan electrical consumption (kW)
- Flow rates (where applicable)
- Supply/return temperatures
- ΔT performance
- Ambient conditions
- System operating modes
- Run hours and load profiles
- Control setpoints and operating strategy behaviour

A structured report with findings, baseline performance data, and quantified improvement opportunity.
Monitoring Turns "Suspected Waste" into "Proven Opportunity"
This study supports:
- CFO-level investment decisions
- Payback modelling and ROI confidence
- Board-ready project justification
- Accurate FEED scope development
- Risk and resilience assessment based on evidence
It also prevents:
- Oversizing new plant
- Undersizing upgrades
- Solving symptoms rather than system causes
- Spending capex without guaranteed outcome
From Data to Design to Delivery
Performance Monitoring typically follows the Efficiency Review and provides the evidence needed to progress with confidence.
We only recommend progression where measurable opportunity exists.
We Don't Just Monitor Systems - We Engineer the Outcome
Many firms can install sensors. Very few can interpret the data correctly and translate it into engineered scope.
We work from the process backwards, ensuring the solution is designed around real demand - not generic assumptions.
- Hydraulic distribution redesign
- Pumping energy reduction
- Centralisation opportunities
- Control strategy upgrades
- Resilience and redundancy engineering
- Capacity release to support production growth
Our Commercial Guarantee
To demonstrate our confidence in the value we deliver, we offer a commercial guarantee across our review and monitoring process.
If, following completion of both the System Healthcheck and the Performance Survey, no measurable efficiency improvement opportunities are identified, we will refund the full cost of these assessments.
In simple terms:
No opportunity identified = full refund
Proceed to project = FEED costs offset against capital
