(Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme)

delivering engineering excellence

ESOS What is it?

The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is a mandatory scheme in the UK. It will introduce regular energy audits that will highlight energy savings for large organisations.

Climate change creates major environmental and economic risk and opportunities for our clients.

We believe that ESOS presents a new and significant opportunity for large UK businesses - It’s predicted that ESOS could help deliver savings of nearly £2bn.

The complexity of the climate change challenge means that government action alone cannot provide the urgent solutions required; therefore, proactive solutions from business is the key. We believe that ESOS (Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme) has the potential to help deliver significant saving within our industry, and will help our clients reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2012 the European Directive EU 2012/27/EU was drafted- outlining savings agreed by the member states by 2020.

ESOS is the UK’s government approach to implementing article 8 of the EU directive.

Who needs to comply?

ESOS is mandatory and applies to all large organisations in the UK, which has either:

250 employees or more OR

a turnover of £38m or more

Penalties for non-compliance can total £45,000.

Act NOW Avoid the £45k fine Register by December 5th

Our message is simple; commercial buildings account for about 40% of all greenhouse gas in the developed world. The greatest contribution we can make is to help our clients reduce their energy use and GHG emissions, cutting cost whilst improving operational efficiency.

This initiative comes at a time when sustainability is important to all property managers and investors, due to a number of interlinking factors, “It’s a perfect green storm in many ways,” as regulation driven by the EU Energy Efficiency Directive, including Minimum Energy Performance Standards is now front of mind for owners.

The major objective of ESOS is to help the qualifying organisations develop a good understanding of their energy use, and release the potential benefits of implementing energy savings measures.
