Carbon Reduction Commitment Helping Save Energy Costs

Carbon Management makes sound business sense, by identifying and implementing any potential carbon emission reduction opportunities.

The impact of rising energy costs on your organisation can be minimised, as it is commonly believed that most businesses are wasting between 15-20% of their energy consumption. Efficiency Direct Ltd will help you identify and reduce this wastage.

Our teams of experienced mechanical, electrical and building services engineers will help you to devise initiatives aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of your organisation. These measures will usually provide both financial and operational benefits to your organisation. Initiatives might include:

• Carbon footprint calculation
• Control system alterations/improvements
• Low energy lighting strategies and controls
• Building fabric improvements
• Voltage optimisation
• Operational changes to reduce energy use
• Heating/Air conditioning system improvements and modifications
• CHP, solar and wind power viability studies
• Use of biomass boilers for heating
• Staff awareness training
• IT Strategy

Forthcoming legislation, the Carbon Reduction Commitment, will require organisations to control, record and report their Carbon emissions on an annual basis.

This new Government scheme will initially apply only to larger organisations (public and private sector) with a mandatory half hourly metered usage of more than 6,000 MWh per annum.

For organisations that need to monitor and target their energy consumption for the Carbon Reduction Commitment, Efficiency Direct can assist with the development of a Carbon Management Strategy designed to meet the needs of any internal corporate or government reporting requirements.
