Challenge

The main challenge facing the built environment is the growing costs of ownership, including fuel use. staff and asset management. The aim of ESOS is to investigate the options to reduce that spend and save energy.

The Opportunity

Our consultants have worked with over 70 clients and in all examples we were able to identify cost and energy savings. A number of companies have now implemented those options and are realising the actual savings.

Buildings

One of the UKs largest retail businesses worked with our lead assessor, to become ESOS compliant during Phase 2. The project involved a full review of how each building was operated and how much gas and electricity was used on a half-hourly basis. Following numerous audits of internal lighting, controls, HVAC, ventilation, IT servers, water, waste and BMS systems, it was possible to identify significant cost and energy saving opportunities. Bespoke "energy dashboards" were created, from which it was possible to identify the correct savings. The review included options for the use of ESCOs and PPAs to fund new initiatives and realise the savings identified.

As a result of the work, an estimated 1/2 million kWh of energy could be saved alongside a cost saving of £800,000 per year.

The Opportunity

ESOS will provide you with several opportunities to improve your business and save money. The cost of complying is minimal in comparison to the amount you could save.

In addition ESOS provides you with:

Identifying where you waste money. The audit identifies and costs energy savings. Most organisations find measures that can payback within a few years.
Data that feeds other reporting. The same energy data supports Scope 1 and 2 reporting, SECR, carbon reduction plans for public tenders and net zero targets. Done properly, it means collecting the data once rather than several times.
Actions you can act on. A board director now has to sign off the assessment. That puts energy in front of decision-makers and makes action plans more likely to be funded.
Steps towards achieving net zero. It will help you longer term to go beyond compliance and set out a credible decarbonisation pathway.
Risk mitigation. Missing the 5 December 2027 deadline can bring Environment Agency penalties of upto £50,000 and public naming.
