Energy Efficiency: Exploring the benefits for business

Energy Efficiency: Exploring the benefits for business In many businesses the opportunity to invest in energy efficiency is there, businesses need to explore the options and savings that are possible with very little investment or effort.

It is clear that the world which we know today might drastically change unless we start exploring the solutions behind decreasing our energy use and also change our attitudes behind them.

Energy efficiency is a topic that has been widely discussed across all industry sectors over the past couple of years, without dwelling too far into the reasons which we already know it has been made clear that the energy efficiency revolution is beginning.

The main motivation for any business looking to invest into energy efficiency is not only the reduction in running costs; there are a number of benefits which walk hand-in-hand with this phrase.

Energy efficiency lowers carbon emissions and provides the public with the confirmation that the company investing in it is environmentally aware, and with energy efficiency changing the attitudes of many outside of the business sector this could easily contribute to a creditable reputation.

Now the question is, why are we struggling to convince businesses to take a look at their energy consumption and how they can improve this?

A widespread answer to this question is that businesses are under the impression that they need to make a large investment into green technology. Energy efficiency solutions are usually inexpensive and simple to implement into your business.

There are smaller changes that can be made in any industry sector, and once these smaller changes are implemented the businesses is surely taking a step in the right direction.

What are the bigger challenges we face when it comes to being energy efficient, and how are these improved or changed?

Energy management should be at the forefront for both large and smaller organisations as it is their responsibility to reduce their impact that it has on the environment, by reducing their energy consumption they reduce their carbon footprint.

It is essential for organisations to reduce their carbon footprint, not only to comply with legal requirements but also to improve their green credentials.

Energy management is the process of monitoring, controlling and ultimately reducing the energy consumption within and organisation.

As one of the UK’s leading energy efficiency electrical contractors we can provide energy efficient electrical installation across all sectors.

Simple steps can be taken to improve the energy efficiency of your building; we have a first step that we would recommend to organisations in any industry: Our first recommendation is the installation of Smart Meters, if these are installed with a view of measuring energy consumption and subsequently analysing the results.

Once energy consumption is measured and the results are then analysed you can highlight the area which needs improvement also known as the problem areas, assessing opportunities for improvement within the organisation can include estimations of the level of energy saved by making changes to all the problem areas.

Once the data collected is metered, organisations will be able to highlight energy taxing equipment that could be replaced with more efficient installations for example dated lighting fittings can be replaced by low energy lighting installations.

Once opportunities to make energy reductions have been highlighted, organisations should look for the best opportunities to tackle first i.e the “quick wins.”

Thorough tracking and monitoring of energy usage within an organisation will demonstrate the improvement in energy management once all of these measures have been implemented.

Staff Involvement is a must – energy managers within larger organisations have a duty to improve their energy consumption and ultimately reduce energy bills for financial gains as well as environmental reasons.

If steps are taken to educate those that can contribute to the reduction of energy, staff will become more aware of their individual contributions in the workplace.
