Energy & Carbon Management

We can assist you in understanding your building energy and carbon data by:

• Capturing data from main gas, electricity and water meters.
• Advising on the installation of additional submeters
• Providing appropriate software packages to capture and analyse multiple data sources
• Undertaking audits of your buildings and buildings data

Example – Business Energy Intelligence software captures data on a day plus one basis for one organisation we support from 170 fiscal meters from 60 buildings.

We will help you manage your buildings’ HVAC and other energy-consuming assets by:

• Configuring exception alarms to identify higher than excepted consumption.
• Recommending seasonal changes to HVAC settings.
• Setting up Green Patrols and Energy Champions to be the onsite “eyes and ears” to identify energy wastage.
• Recommending advanced analytic packages to work in conjunction with your BEMS to provide real-time identification of poor performing HVAC and wasted energy.
• Providing monthly energy dashboard reports to help track performance against benchmarks or targets.

Example – Exception alarms on gas consumption revealed faulty sensors were holding the boilers on. An immediate repair saved £6,000. An exception alarm on electricity consumption also helped identified a chiller was running unnecessarily, resulting in a £2000 per month savings.

We will analyse your data to identify opportunities to reduce consumption by:

• Completing back to basic checks by comparing consumption against building occupancy patterns, weather conditions and HVAC controls parameters.
• Benchmarking your sites across your estate and against national benchmarks.
• Completing building energy management system health checks

Example – Analysis of water consumption data revealed constant consumption of 1m³ of water. Repairing the leak reduced annual costs by £16,000.

We will help you further improve your performance through targeted investment:

• Energy efficiency projects, including light fitting and control upgrades, AHU upgrades and fan replacements, heating pump and variable speed installations and boiler replacements.
• Renewable energy generation, including photovoltaics and heat pumps.
• Electric vehicle charging points.
• HVAC control strategy modifications.
• Behavioural change programmes.
• Digital building modelling, advanced analytics and intelligent building control.

Example – A LED retrofit of 2500 light fittings with LED boards at a Council headquarters delivered annual savings of over £40,000, 250,000 kWh of electricity and 55 tonnes of CO2.
