Auditing Services
The process of successfully reducing energy consumption and costs, while improving the quality of services necessitates:
- A good understanding of your requirements
- Integrating the search for efficiency opportunities into your way of operating
- Searching for benefits in addition to energy savings, and solving problems other high energy costs
- Lateral thinking
- In-depth knowledge of alternative processes, fuels, equipment, controls, etc
- Sound engineering analysis
- Reliable calculation of savings, and quantification of other benefits
- Realistic investment estimates and sound investment opportunity analysis
- Practical engineering design skills
- Project management and implementation skills (including the ability to overcome teething problems, to commission systems, and to work with client staff and contractors)
- Metering and monitoring to ensure performance and identify further opportunities
Successful energy saving projects rely on staff engagement. We understand energy efficiency, and we work with client company’s staff who have an irreplaceable and essential knowledge of company goals, priorities, procedures, and equipment. Working together we can achieve much higher energy and water savings, and ancillary benefits than either group working alone.
While focusing on saving your energy, we also look for other opportunities to enhance sustainability.
This approach allows a company to start saving energy very early in their energy efficiency project.
Our experience using this ‘Energy Diagnostic’ with manufacturers (including those outside the automotive sector), shows that companies can reduce energy costs by 5 – 15% without requiring a capital investment.
Only once the actions flowing from the Energy Diagnostic are underway and the company is getting real ‘runs on the board’ do we move to the stage of identifying the further energy efficiency opportunities which require more detailed engineering investigation (and probably a capital investment).
