Our team of experienced consultants can identify energy saving opportunities and providing advice in how to implement them. We see the real value in offering help and assistance all the way through from the initial opportunity identification to installation/implementation and recognise the importance in providing the support they need. Sustain works with clients in the following sectors in order to understand their requirements and if appropriate assist them with applying for grant funding.
- Social housing
- Leisure
- Hospitality
- Schools
- Small and medium enterprises (SME's)
- Public sector
- Retail
A range of different survey types are available depending upon the
size of the organisation and experience in managing energy. Initial
opportunities for saving energy are normally identified through a
Health Check or Action Audit day.
The Action Audit day will involve a 'walk around' energy survey
potentially combined with an energy management assessment. Some
data collection of energy bills and building plans may also be
required. The survey will be completed in the day of
the site visit. The report will usually cover the following
areas:
- An analysis of your organisations energy use and how this compares with similar set ups.
- A review of the strengths and weaknesses of your current energy management procedure
- A list of energy saving opportunities with costs, grants, payback periods etc.
Carbon Footprinting
Organisations are increasingly keen to understand their Carbon
Footprint - i.e. the total greenhouse gas emissions for which they
are responsible. Reasons for wanting to understand their footprint
vary - some organisations are keen to quantify their impact as a
first step to taking action to reduce it. Others are keen to have
an accurate figure that they can disclose in marketing material,
CSR reports or use as the basis for a carbon offsetting
strategy.
Sustains consultants are able to carry out a carbon footprinting
exercise for you in conjunction with an energy audit for a single
site, or for multi-sites. The exact scope and format of this will
normally be agreed before the initial audit is carried out.
