... Run, do not walk, away from this nonsense. ...

Instead, hire me. I can charge you exorbant fees and expenses. Unlike the Power Optimiser I likely can make recomendations that will actually reduce your power consumption. And it will cost you lot less than the Power Optimiser group
Think about it from an ROI. With them the dollars per watt-hour saved is near infinite. With me, you will actually get some energy savings, so the dollars per watt-hour is less than infinite.
Seriously - If you still wish to investigate, hire a power engineer to go with you. Tell the engineer you want 4 - 6 hours, you do not want the stuff shot down before the meeting. You want her to listen, perhaps ask a strategic question or 5 , in a non adversarial manor, and then give you a verbal report - no written report. Should cost around $500 - $1000 (with NO written report).
This way you have some one to call BS when the science and physics require extra-terestrial intervention.
Could easily save you 10s of $k to 100s of $k.
Oh - Warn them you will have your engineer with you and the presentation will be taped. Possibly the presentation will no longer available.
