Energy Saving Audit, Troubleshooting & ESOS

Energy Saving Audit

An energy saving audit will identify no-cost and low-cost improvements as well as longer-term investment projects. We can discuss with you potential funding sources for your energy projects and help you prioritise your spend.

It is a pretty safe bet that energy prices will continue to rise. The value of saving energy now will therefore increase over time, so why wait when we can help you reduce your overheads now.

As certified thermographers we can also utilise the infrared technology to help identify wasted energy, overheated processes and heat loss from buildings.

If you are developing an ISO 50001 Energy Management System, this type of audit will assist with identifying and prioritising the opportunities for improvement.

Building services trouble shooting

Building services – heating, ventilation, air conditioning – are often one of the largest consumers of energy within a building. It is essential that these services function correctly – not only to ensure they are not overconsuming and wasting energy – but also to maintain the comfort of the building for its’ occupants.

Our chartered engineer has over 40 years experience within the services design sector and energy management industry – working with clients to deliver detailed design solutions for buildings of all types. We have the skills to diagnose building services problems and advise on practical remedies that will improve operation and target energy reduction. Our engineers will write a precise scope of works and contractor specifications, and can subsequently supervise any works to ensure services are functioning effectively.

Is your building too hot in summer, too cold in winter, or using far more energy than you expect it to? Does the HVAC system in your building not function as you would like it to?

ESOS – Energy Saving Opportunities Scheme

The ESOS Regulations mandate that every four years large organisations in the UK must undertake comprehensive audits of the energy used by their buildings, industrial processes and transport to identify cost-effective energy saving measures.

ESOS applies to any large organisation that carries out a trade or a business and any corporate group where at least one member of the UK group meets the ESOS criteria of:
– a UK company that either employs 250 or more people, or
– has an annual turnover in excess of £44 million and an annual balance sheet total in excess of £38 million.

Phase 3 of the ESOS compliance scheme ended on 5 December 2023. To comply with the regulations, a Lead Energy Assessor needed to conduct an ESOS Assessment for the large organisation. In certain cases organisations complied by providing evidence that they have achieved certification to ISO 50001, the international standard for energy management. If you think you should have complied with Phase 3 and did not, please get in touch and we can help you assess what is now required.

ESOS requires an Action Plan to be submitted online each year, detailing the actions the organisation has taken to reduce its’ energy use. If you require help in developing and implementing your Action Plan, please get in touch.

Please contact us if you would like to discuss compliance with future phases of the ESOS Regulations.
