Industrial / Commercial Energy Surveys

How do you actually know if your business wastes energy?  Trust me – it does.

​

If you run a business I would suggest that making sure energy is not being wasted should be pretty high on your list of day-to-day priorities. 

One problem many business owners face however is that saving energy is not your day job, not your speciality - where do you start?

​

I have spent the last 30+ years carrying out Energy Surveys across a diverse range of industrial and commercial organisations, determining where they can usefully reduce energy consumption and save money without negative impact - and in most cases with beneficial improvements in the working environment for staff and customers.

 

Waste of energy can occur for many reasons.  So I investigate the buildings you occupy, the installed energy consuming systems (heating and ventilation, air con, refrigeration, lighting, controls & industrial processes), human behaviour patterns, use of water, anything really that contributes to your energy costs -  and then I report my findings in a simply presented document written without the use of jargon which I discuss with you to generate an Action Plan.

​

My surveys are all completed in line with the European Standard on Energy Audits:  EN16247 and I operate to the Energy Institute Code Of Conduct.

​

Where appropriate I will also evaluate the potential for Renewable Energy in your business.  Is it feasible?  Will it show payback within a reasonable period?  Are there financial incentives from Gov't?

​

It is always worth stating that I am impartial - totally independent from any suppliers - I have no axe to grind nor vested interest – I am in business to save you money by saving energy and reducing carbon emissions.

Here is a quote from a happy customer – “Just to let you know following your report the water charges have ceased with even last years refunded – all this makes a great difference – until your report we had no idea!”  Julian Watson – Banff Castle.  

​

Saving energy represents a fantastic opportunity to reduce business overheads – and increase profits since making energy savings is generally much easier than, for example, generating new sales.

​

When you are well advised it is also low risk and comes with guaranteed return on investment.

 

You may even qualify for a free survey if you are based in Scotland.
