Strategic Energy Management

What is the relationship between our communication solutions and long term energy strategy?

Put simply, business people who are thinking about the long term impact of energy and carbon are considering how teleworking, video-conferencing, wireless, cloud computing and bandwidth optimisation can be used for shaping their future.

The future office will need to be smaller – the cost of powering the office and staff commuting is too great. So in terms of energy and carbon footprint it will make sense to plan a future office which uses all forms of communications that enable people to work out of the office.

If you are looking to reduce the costs in your business, then examining your energy consumption is a smart place to start. Not only can you reduce your carbon footprint but your electricity bills too.

An Energy Assessment is the only way to understand what is using the most energy and how to reduce it - good for the environment and good for your bottom line.

Our assessments show energy savings generally include:

• 20% on lighting upgrades
• 30% on general office equipment procedures
• 20% by simply educating users

Some of our clients have saved 30% or more on their energy consumption by following our action plans - so the cost savings for your business could be enormous.

It is not always obvious what upgrades will provide the best returns, so rather than guessing, make sure you know by using our partner Sustain Agility’s Assessment Service.

We have worked with many businesses on implementing an energy reduction plan and everyone is thrilled with the results.

The Energy Assessment will be completed by a trained engineer and will include:

1. Two hour on-site inspection
2. Action Plan with recommendations on how you can reduce your bills

The Action Plan will provide you with:

1. A summary of your energy consumption
2. Energy saving suggestions (no-cost options)
3. An action plan of investment upgrades to reduce power
4. Return on investment period estimations
5. Actions that may be eligible for DECC rebates

Is it a waste of time to do an energy assessment when companies are considering moving to a new office?

An energy assessment is a great idea for companies that are considering moving to a new office or renewing a lease. To not have one would be a lost opportunity!

An energy assessment will show you how you use electricity now and how you could reduce your energy consumption in the new office. Armed with this knowledge, the smart mover will include the energy aspects of the building in the negotiation of a new lease. For example, why move into a premise that uses old style lights which will cause you significant costs across the term of the lease? Armed with the right information you can determine your new agreements.

So if you're thinking of moving, get an energy assessment done and make sure you include building energy conditions in your lease contract negotiations!
