Energy policy

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.

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.

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.

Business Energy Saving Action Plan

A simple business energy saving action plan should aim to look at adopting the following actions to reduce energy consumption and costs.

Green Energy Suppliers

Green energy suppliers enable you to use electricity in your home and business while minimising the effect on the environment and the impact on climate change. Green energy suppliers specialise in providing electricity that has been produced from renewable sources of energy such as wind power, solar power or hydroelectric power.

Reading Electricity Meters

Essentially, reading electricity meters will enable you to gather information needed to check the accuracy of your invoices. While this may seem unnecessary it's often surprising to see just how much difference there can be between the actual energy consumed within a building against the estimates (or even the meter readings) of the energy supplier. By reading energy meters yourself you can obviously got to eliminate some of the basic errors that can lead to you paying more than you should be your energy.
