Business energy audits: find out where your energy is going, and what to do about it
An energy audit is a detailed look at how your site uses energy. It gives you a clear, costed plan to cut waste, bills and carbon.
What an audit is
A qualified assessor looks at your buildings, equipment and energy data: how and when energy is used, and where it is being wasted. That covers things like:
- Lighting
- Heating and cooling
- Compressed air
- Motors and controls
- The building fabric
- How equipment is scheduled
What you get
A clear report listing practical energy-saving measures, with:
- An estimated cost for each measure
- The likely savings in energy, money and carbon
- A payback period
- Everything ranked, so you know what to do first
