Farm Energy Assessments
Optimizing energy use for farms across America with EnSave’s expert energy assessments.
How it works.
We conduct an initial interview with the farmer to gather information about the operation and explain the assessment process.
A local data collector visits the farm to verify and collect information about energy use
Our energy engineers complete a thorough data analysis

We follow up with the farmer to answer questions, review the plan’s recommendations, and discuss opportunities for implementation.
For farmer's
bottom line.
We provide several types of energy assessments, also known as energy audits, in order to best serve each farmer, and to meet the requirements of various government cost-share programs.
EnSave provides farm energy assessments for all types of agriculture, including dairy, poultry, swine, controlled energy environments, greenhouses, and Maple, to name a few. We can review all fuels, including propane, diesel, gas, and electric; any fuel that is driving your stationary equipment.
Our farm energy assessments serve as a decision-making tool farmers can begin using immediately in order to take control of their energy costs.

FEAT is EnSave’s exclusive benchmarking system built from thousands of farm energy assessments (also known as farm energy audits).
A farmer can call EnSave for a no-cost benchmarking report that compares their energy use to that of their peer operations and generates a one-page performance summary showing how their farm stacks up.
This quick snapshot helps producers understand where they stand and what actions they can take to save money and improve efficiency.
Why Benchmarking
Energy Use Matters
The question is—Can I save money and reduce my energy costs? With data-driven comparisons, you can move forward with confidence.
3. Track Your Progress After implementing changes, benchmarking helps you measure the results. Year over year, you’ll see how much your energy efficiency improvements have strengthened your operation.
See how you score! Call us today to receive your no-cost benchmarking report.
We’re here to help.
Every farm is unique — but when it comes to energy, knowledge is power.
EnSave’s Benchmarking Tool, built from thousands of on-farm energy assessments, helps you see how your operation stacks up against your peers — and how you score.
Benchmarking isn’t about more paperwork; it’s about turning data into information you can use to help run a more efficient operation.
1. How does your operation stack up? Just as you track your production input costs, benchmarking helps determine if your energy use is higher or lower than that of similar farms.
2. Knowledge Is Power The benchmarking tool provides you with information that can help you make an informed decision about whether to move forward with an energy assessment, sometimes referred to as a farm energy assessment or a CEMA 228.
Certified Experts You Can Trust
All assessments are performed by qualified professionals such as Certified Energy Managers (CEMs), Professional Engineers (PEs), or USDA NRCS-approved Technical Service Providers (TSPs).
