We are often asked for help to reduce the Carbon Footprint and Energy running cost of clients' premises. Whilst the current E.P.C. and recent Utility bills give a rough guide as to the true energy efficiency of the building. We always begin with a thorough survey of the building's use /uses. Very often we discover the use and occupancy of the building have drastically changed over the years.
An audit of existing H.V.A.C often reveals significant variances of temperature and draughts
The lighting is either too dim or overbright. Ambient heat from servers and air conditioning creates an uncomfortable environment
Windows and doors are often draughty and so on. For this reason, we prefer to carry out a detailed baseline and profile audit of the building and its uses. We then use data as a baseline on which to design an updated energy-efficient programme.
The capital investment may be higher than a rule of Thumb upgrade. However, the ongoing running cost is significantly reduced, and Comfort levels are vastly improved.
We also have a strategy for climate change resilient buildings.
Business Energy efficiency grants up to ten thousand pounds or 40% of the capital value are also available.
