Energy Performance Certificates

Since 2008, Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) have been legally required for any commercial building over 50 m2 when it is built, sold or rented. The certificate is valid for 10 years and must be accompanied by any recommendations report. The revelations report should include references to the existing recognised benchmarks, with suggestions on cost-effective measures to improve energy performance.

Automatic meter reading

Most organisations can use automatic meter reading to measure, collect and record energy information that can be transmitted to a PC or over the Internet to create reports and analysis that will help towards better energy management.

Energy Legislation

When developing an energy management system, energy legislation is becoming increasingly important for organisations to identify priorities in addressing energy efficiency.

Energy Surveys

For the most part, an energy survey of a building will be required to identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption costs and increase energy efficiency in the building fabric, building services and equipment.

Energy Survey Data Collection

When carrying out an energy survey, data collection should include a wide range of information that can best identify how and why energy is being used.

How to Write an Energy Policy

In order to know how to write an energy policy you must first identify what it is that your organisation wants to achieve from the policy document.

Developing an Energy Policy

An energy policy should add structure to an organisation's ambitions to improve energy management, increased energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption and costs.

Energy policy

An energy policy is often the first step that any organisation should take when developing an energy management system.

Energy Awareness

Energy awareness is an essential step to good energy management as it ensures that all stakeholders are aware of any new energy-saving initiatives.

Thermostatic Radiator Valves

By fitting thermostatic radiator valves to your radiators, you can more easily control the temperature of each radiator in a room and thereby reduce the energy consumption of fuel heating system.

Thermostatic radiator valves are also known as TRV's and they work by sensing the temperature of the air around the radiator to ensure that the radiator is only providing heat when it needs to do so.
