Overview – What you need to know
We take a holistic approach to energy management. It isn’t about what we can extract from you with regards to charges from additional services; it is determining your requirements and making anything you don’t need redundant.
Energy management is the practice of using energy more efficiently by eliminating energy waste.
The Five fundamental components of effective energy management include:
 |
Efficient purchasing — purchasing energy at the lowest available unit cost |
|
|
Efficient operation — operating the equipment to consume energy as efficiently as possible |
|
|
Efficient equipment — upgrading or replacing existing equipment with more energy efficient versions |
|
|
Efficient metering, monitoring & targeting (MM&T) - measuring and analysing energy use through half-hourly consumption data in real time |
|
|
Alignment to mandatory or voluntary legislation |
No two Energy Management strategies are exactly alike – we need to tailor the strategy to meet your distinct needs. However, there are types of overall strategy that your business may fall into or a combination of. In reality we normally find hybrid forms of different strategies.
Our remuneration for the services rendered to you will be covered by the supplier(s) that acquires or retains you as part of the procurement strategy or in other areas through a small part of the savings that you make. As such there is no risk to you for engaging us.
There isn’t a requirement for systematic planning. There may not be a current Energy and environmental management field of action.
