Kb3 Advisors

Welcome to the Kb3 Advisors team, Phil Heyman!

Most leadership teams know their total energy spend, but far fewer can explain exactly which drivers cause the biggest swings in cost. Without that insight, contract decisions become guesswork, and every renewal feels like a gamble. Modern natural gas procurement should start with analytics, not assumptions. By examining multi-year consumption, utility tariffs, and market price behavior, you can isolate real savings levers and quantify risk before you sign. Kb3 Advisors turns raw utility and usage data into executive-ready insights that inform contract terms, volume commitments, and timing. The goal is simple. We give you the confidence to defend procurement decisions in front of your board, with numbers to back it up. For multi-site portfolios, we benchmark facilities against each other to expose hidden inefficiencies and missed opportunities. If your energy reports feel more descriptive than decision-ready, it may be time to deepen the analytics behind your natural gas strategy.

For many organizations, natural gas is one of the largest and least predictable operating expenses. When costs swing quarter to quarter, it undermines your ability to forecast, manage margins, and communicate clearly with your board. Strategic natural gas procurement changes that equation. By blending fixed, variable, and index-based contracts, you can smooth volatility, align purchasing with your risk appetite, and unlock measurable ROI over a defined timeframe. The result is not just “cheaper gas,” but more predictable budgets, a clearer narrative to finance committees, and a disciplined framework for future growth. At Kb3 Advisors, we start with your consumption profile, risk tolerance, and capital plans, and then build an executable strategy with clear KPIs and reporting. If your current gas contracts feel like a series of tactical renewals rather than a strategic asset, it may be time to reconsider your approach.

Facility benchmarking and analytics transform raw energy data into actionable, portfolio-wide insights. Benchmarking reveals which buildings deliver the best value and where optimization will have the greatest financial impact by normalizing for weather, occupancy, and usage patterns. Paired with analytics, it becomes a powerful tool for reducing peak demand, tightening budgets, and informing smarter procurement and capital planning. For multi-site portfolios, this structured approach turns scattered data into a clear, decision-ready roadmap. Read the full article (link in the comments) to dive into the six-step methodology, from defining objectives to ongoing optimization, and see how benchmarking supports predictable costs and stronger energy outcomes.

Taking time to reflect on gratitude for colleagues, clients, and opportunities that make growth possible. Happy Thanksgiving!

Kb3 Managing Partner Justin Vissat says every client’s energy profile tells a story. "When we see patterns that repeat over time, we can design a portfolio that directly addresses those points of volatility instead of applying a one-size-fits-all solution.” See more of our conversation with Justin in this week's article about mastering energy demand management for cost stability.
