Technical firm · Industrial energy optimisation
We calibrate thermal and electrical models on what your plant already measures. We identify verifiable savings opportunities under IPMVP. No SCADA modifications, no production downtime, no lock-in.
No-cost initial assessment · Technical response within 5 business days
Industries where we apply our methodology:
Methodology
We are neither pure consultancy nor pure software. QuantumZIGMA operates three connected technical pieces — instrumentation, modelling and verification — under a single contract and a single outcome responsibility.
We install sensing complementary to what you already have — power quality at the PCC, thermal probes in racks or cold rooms, clamp-on flowmeters, vibration on pumps and compressors. Reading without touching the existing control system.
We build a process model (chillers, condensers, pumps, loads) and calibrate it against measured data following ASHRAE Guideline 14. On top of that model we identify known operational deviations.
Every implemented measure is verified under an IPMVP Option C protocol signed by an accredited energy auditor. We file Spanish CAE Energy Savings Certificates for eligible measures and prepare PERTE applications where applicable.
Technical capacity
QuantumZIGMA operates under a documented technical framework, with verifiable standards and governance separated by function. In-house technical direction, external accredited energy auditor support and a network of certified collaborators.
Every project runs on internationally auditable standards: ASHRAE Guideline 14 for model calibration, IPMVP Option C for measurement and verification, ISO 50001 as the energy management reference, and Spanish RD 56/2016 / UNE-EN 16247 for energy auditing.
Technical operation (sensing, modelling, optimisation) is separated by design from M&V validation, which is executed or supervised by an external A3E-accredited energy auditor. This eliminates the judge-and-party conflict and keeps reports defensible before the client, the administration and any third-party auditor.
We work under two models: fixed fee per technical project instruction, or share-savings on IPMVP-verified savings. In both cases we don't bill by the hour but by measurable deliverables and verified savings. Instrumentation is financed by the firm itself — the client does not put up CAPEX for the measurement layer.

We work with controlled pilots and prior technical validation before taking on contractual savings commitments. If the case does not fit our methodology, we say so before signing.
How we work
We review 12 months of electricity and gas invoices. We identify the critical operating variables and CAE/PERTE eligibility. At no cost to you.
Installation by a RIBT-certified electrician. Edge gateway up and running, ingestion validated. Zero production downtime.
Thermal and electrical model calibrated against measured data until ASHRAE G14 statistical tolerances are met.
Delivery of the report with quantified opportunities, evidence for each one, estimated payback and prioritised claimable CAEs.
Technical model applied to a representative industrial baseline
This is a technical benchmark on representative data from a 80 t/day meat processing plant. The figures are potential detected by our methodology, not savings realised yet with a real client. Pilot validation is in progress.
Indicative figures obtained by applying documented operational heuristics on the simulated baseline. The real potential on a specific plant depends on site-specific conditions and is only confirmed after model calibration (weeks 4-5 of the project).
Technical honesty
Spanish CAE Energy Savings Certificates can be processed directly. The official gazette is public. The IPMVP standards are downloadable. This is what doing it on your own looks like in practice versus delegating it to us.
| On your own | With QuantumZIGMA | |
|---|---|---|
| Identification of savings opportunities | External energy consultant, fixed fee €8-15k | Free initial technical assessment; in-house methodology |
| Instrumentation and fine telemetry | Own hardware investment + external IT integrator | Overlay sensing financed via share-savings |
| ASHRAE G14 model calibration | Hire an independent M&V consultant | Included in the pilot; calibration within 4 weeks |
| CAE processing | External delegated agent, 25-40% commission | End-to-end management with accredited A3E auditor |
| PERTE file preparation | Specialised consultancy, several thousand € upfront | Modest fixed fee + success fee only if granted |
| If the savings don't materialise | You've paid the consultant anyway | You don't pay our share-savings part |
Services
We always start with a no-cost initial technical assessment. Only if we find real potential and the case fits our methodology do we move to the next phases.
Review of your energy invoices and process typology. We determine whether the methodology fits your case and what preliminary potential exists.
Instrumentation, model calibration and first technical report under IPMVP. A 4-to-6-month project with payment milestones.
Post-pilot platform operation. 24/7 monitoring, monthly M&V reports, ongoing CAE management and PERTE support.
You don't pay until a senior engineer has read your invoices and processes, and given you a realistic forecast. If there is no fit, we tell you.
Sectors
Our methodology is general but we have specifically worked the critical operating variables of four verticals.
Cutting, fast freezing and cured-meat processes. Critical variables: NH₃ compressors, cold rooms at –25 °C / 0 °C, CIP cycles, power quality on main motors.
Chilled-water white rooms. Critical variables: PUE, chiller COP, coil dT, condenser pressure, air recirculation, power quality, ASHRAE TC9.9 compliance.
Injection and extrusion processes with 5-50 kW motors, mould cooling, ovens. Critical variables: compressed air (7-10 bar), power factor, motor efficiency, thermal cycles.
Chilled and frozen rooms, blast freezer tunnels, refrigerated docks. Critical variables: per-zone temperature, evaporator dT, defrost cycles, cold-chain integrity.
First step
You connect with an engineer (not a salesperson). You send us 12 months of electricity + gas invoices and a photo of the main switchboard. Within 5 business days we respond with a realistic technical forecast. No card. No commitment.
