Frequently Asked Questions About DEEP//WALK

Deepwalk is designed to make energy efficiency engaging, measurable, and easy to act on. Whether you manage one building or a full portfolio, this FAQ explains what to expect before, during, and after your event — from team setup to verified savings.

What is a Deepwalk?

A Deepwalk is a guided, team-based energy walkthrough that identifies low-cost savings opportunities hidden in everyday operations. It combines field discovery with behavioral engagement to help organizations find and fix inefficiencies in real time.

Who does what in a Deepwalk?

Each Deepwalk is led by a certified facilitator and includes 6–8 on-site participants from your staff — typically facility engineers, sustainability leads, and workplace or operations teams. Together, they form a Discovery Team that gathers insights during the walkthrough.

How long does a Deepwalk take?

Most Deepwalks are completed in one evening, with four hours of guided observation and team collaboration. The results are documented in a professional report — including photos, verified findings, and ready-to-file utility incentive documentation.

What kinds of savings can we expect?

Typical findings identify 9–13% site-wide electricity savings, equivalent to $18,000–$25,000 annually for a 50,000 ft² facility. These savings often come from lighting control, plug-load management, and scheduling adjustments — requiring little to no capital investment.

How is this different from an energy audit?

Deepwalk emphasizes the human layer of energy performance — connecting people, data, and design. Instead of handing off a static report, it activates your own team through participation, gamified learning, and actionable next steps.

Will my Deepwalk be eligible for utility incentives?

Yes, and we'll help you find and apply for them. Most findings qualify under existing Strategic Energy Management (SEM) or custom incentive programs. The report includes all required documentation and verification evidence for submission.

Can Deepwalk support multiple buildings or campuses?

Yes. Multi-building and campus engagements can be customized for your organization, scaling team participation and analysis across sites.

What happens after the Deepwalk?

You’ll receive a complete Findings Report and Implementation Pack with clear next steps, SOP recommendations, and incentive-ready forms. Optional follow-up services include advanced M&V, event video production and Participant Engagement Packs.
