Energy Optimisation
Supporting you to prepare and implement a realistic improvement plan
Where do you start with your energy optimisation plan?
Energy optimisation encompasses a range of strategies aimed at reducing energy consumption, increasing efficiency, and promoting sustainability. Following an energy assessment we will be able to provide you with a detailed plan to make improvements, but our support doesn’t stop there!
We can assist you with :
-
Invest in energy-efficient appliances, HVAC systems, lighting fixtures, and other equipment to minimise energy usage without compromising performance.
-
Implement smart thermostats, lighting controls, and building automation systems to adjust energy usage based on occupancy, schedule, and environmental conditions.
-
Educate occupants about energy-saving practices and encourage behaviours such as turning off lights and equipment when not in use, adjusting thermostat settings, and using natural light whenever possible.
-
Enhance insulation, seal windows and doors, and improve building envelope integrity to minimise heat loss or gain and reduce the workload on heating and cooling systems.
-
Incorporate renewable energy sources such as solar panels, wind turbines, or geothermal systems to generate clean energy on-site and reduce reliance on grid-supplied electricity.
-
Deploy EMS software to monitor, analyse, and optimise energy usage in real-time, allowing for proactive management and optimization of energy-consuming systems and equipment.
-
We can support you with effective maintenance planning to bolster energy optimisation. Through proactive maintenance scheduling and asset management, supported by your Computer-Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) platform, we ensure that equipment and systems remain in optimal condition, minimising energy waste and maximising efficiency. We can identify trends, prioritise maintenance tasks, and implement targeted improvements to enhance energy optimisation efforts.
-
Conduct regular energy audits to identify inefficiencies, prioritise energy-saving opportunities, and track energy performance over time through continuous monitoring and analysis.
-
Shift energy-intensive tasks to off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower, or implement strategies to reduce peak demand through load shedding or load shifting.
-
Incorporate energy-efficient building design principles from the outset, including orientation, daylighting, passive solar heating, natural ventilation, and high-performance building materials.
