Tether turns your bills, meter data, and BMS history into one ranked plan: what to fix first and what it is worth.
Each figure ties back to an asset, a baseline, a method, and an evidence record. Projected and verified results are labelled where they appear in full stories.

Organisations Tether works with and through
Bills, BMS alarms, audits, finance, suppliers, and rating evidence all live in different places. That is why obvious improvements still stall.
Tether turns scattered evidence into one path: fix, fund, deliver, and prove.
Tether ranks each move by saving, cost to deliver, readiness, funding value, and proof path.

Advice only matters when the work is scoped, delivered, and proven. Tether keeps every handoff tied to one baseline.
Source the building truth: bills, meters, BMS, records.
BaselineRank the next move by value, risk, disruption, and evidence.
ScopeTie the asset to the right partner, assessor, supplier, or owner.
RouteShape funding, incentives, partner input, or lender evidence before sign-off.
CapitalCoordinate owners, suppliers, access, sequencing, and evidence requirements.
ActionMeasure the result and make the claim status clear.
ProofThis is an anonymised 24-hour load curve from a commercial office project. The dashed line shows the expected baseline. The solid line shows measured consumption after the improvement work was delivered.
A saving is only verified when you can show the baseline, the measured result, and the method used to compare them. That is the evidence your board, lender, assessor, auditor, or internal team can trust.
Start with the outcome the customer needs. Organise the evidence once.
Cost. Value. Rating. Proof. Risk.
Find waste, reduce operating cost, and prove the saving.
Operating cost leaks through schedules, controls, maintenance, water, or metering gaps.
Separate normal load from avoidable waste, rank fixes, and measure the saving after delivery.
Save money. Find waste, reduce operating cost, and prove the saving. 
Make money. Protect value, strengthen leasing, and support finance conversations. 
Certify. Prepare the data, evidence, and operating rhythm for recognised ratings. 
Report. Turn building performance into board, lender, investor, and internal evidence. 
Comply. Track obligations, close actions, and prove progress over time. You know your building should be doing more. Saving money, making money, certifying, funding the next move, hitting a reporting deadline. You don't know what's possible, what to do first, who to use, or how to pay for it.
The Performance Review answers all of that in one detailed report. We agree the outcomes you need. We assess what the building can deliver. We return a plan with every option scoped, costed, ranked, and matched to funding.
We meet to understand the outcomes you need from your building. Save money, make money, certify, fund, report, comply. Whatever the building has to deliver, the plan is built around it from step one.
One green loan application now asks for the rating, the energy baseline, and the operating cost in the same evidence pack, and the lender checks each number against what the meters recorded.
Mackersy Property took that pack to its lender.
One baseline for the board, bank, assessor, supplier, and delivery team.
Owners and lenders won't fund work without a credible baseline, a costed pathway, and proof the savings will hold. Hope is not a business case.
FUNDING CASEReporting deadlines and obligations are landing on the same building. Your team needs owners, dates, actions, and a record that survives an audit.
ACTION RECORDBoards, auditors, assessors, and tenants are no longer accepting modelled numbers. Every performance claim needs a baseline behind it.
BASELINE METHODAt one regional shopping centre, 38% of the energy was used outside trading hours, on carpark lighting and HVAC schedules nobody had revisited.
RANKED SAVINGWe needed a NABERSNZ rating to qualify for green finance and to anchor a tender process. Without a credible baseline, we couldn't get either.
PROPERTY OWNER, NZ REGIONAL COMMERCIAL PRECINCT
“We knew we had inefficiencies, but Tether gave us the proof and visibility to act.”
Head of Property
Major NZ bank, national branch network. Monitoring data confirmed a major HVAC fault, the landlord upgraded the system, and one month of energy savings covered the full monitoring suite.
Quote anonymised at customer's request. Identifiable references available on request under NDA.
Start with the asset, the data you already have, and the outcome that matters this quarter. Tether shows what is worth fixing, what evidence is missing, and what pathway can be defended.
