How will an energy assessment help my business?
An energy assessment from our expert team will:
- Help you understand where you could save energy.
- Give you a list of priority actions to take that will help you save quickly.
- Provide estimated costs for each recommended measure, with how much energy and money they will save, as well as the carbon savings that will result.
- Advise on what low carbon technologies, such as solar PV or air source heat pumps, would be most suitable for your business.
We also stay in touch with you following delivery of the assessment, signposting you to any new national or local funding available to help you install the energy saving measures.
Organisations typically save 19% on their energy bills when implementing our recommendations of which a third are minimal or no-cost to action.
