Energy Management and Utilities Cost Reduction

Energy reporting or, monitoring and targeting as it is also known, is a key part of energy management.

If half hourly energy data is available (see metering services) it can be used to provide a variety of reports analysing utility usage. Improved utility practices can then provide the potential for economies through proactive utility management.

Reports can be customised to a client’s requirements but will typically include:

• Utility consumption – gas, water electricity, oil or any other source
• Base load information
• Maximum demand
• CO2 emissions

Analysis of the above data is included in the report and can highlight possible problems and offer solutions. It is also a splendid management tool for settings targets and controlling usage thereby controlling costs.

Tenant Billing

For clients with multi-let properties, we offer a tenant utility apportionment service. The property will need a sub-metering system installed (see metering services). Each sub meter will give accurate consumption figures for individual tenants which then translate into costs. Our monitoring and targeting software will also calculate share of all standing charges and landlord’s service charges. Experience shows that once a tenant is responsible for their energy usage, energy costs can be cut significantly.

Bill Verification

With accurate consumption data, estimated bills become a thing of the past (see metering services).

Supplier’s bills can be verified, month on month, helping companies’ budgeting and forecasting. Every aspect of the bill will be checked – correct tariff rates, standing charges and consumption.

This is necessary because, unfortunately, computer generated bills often contain errors and these can be swiftly resolved.
