Every boiler room leaks money — through failing steam traps, fouled heat-transfer surfaces, oversized equipment, and heat that escapes up the stack. The hard part isn’t fixing those problems; it’s knowing which ones to fix first. That’s exactly what a Steam System CRES Score is built to answer.
What is a CRES Score?
CRES is Trap Energy Solutions’ structured assessment of your entire steam or hot-water system, scored against a defensible baseline across four pillars:
- Compliance — Are you meeting code, insurance, and regulatory requirements for pressure equipment and operations?
- Reliability — Where is your system at risk of unplanned downtime, and what would a failure really cost?
- Energy efficiency — How much fuel are you wasting today, and where are the biggest, fastest paybacks?
- Safety — Are operators, equipment, and the facility protected to modern standards?
Why start with a score instead of a sales pitch
Most “energy audits” end with a quote. A CRES Score ends with a prioritized roadmap — a ranked list of improvements with estimated savings and paybacks — so you can put capital where it returns the most. You decide what to act on, and when. And because the score is built by former commissioned boiler inspectors, it’s grounded in real code and operating experience, not guesswork.
The payoff: measurable energy savings
CRES looks at all four pillars, but energy is usually where the dollars are. Recovering stack heat, right-sizing equipment, repairing steam traps, and tightening controls routinely cut fuel use by double digits — savings that keep paying every month.
