What is a business energy audit?
Energy audits provide a comprehensive overview of consumption patterns, enabling businesses to reduce usage and costs while contributing to the fight against climate change and supporting the UK’s drive towards greater energy security.
Is a business energy audit a legal requirement?
For large businesses, current regulations mandate energy audits for companies with 250 or more employees or those with an annual turnover exceeding £44 million and a balance sheet total over £38 million. However, these criteria may evolve, so staying ahead by conducting comprehensive energy audits can save your business time and ensure long-term compliance.
What Types of Energy Audits Are Available?
Energy audits can be tailored to your business needs, ranging from focused site assessments to comprehensive reviews covering most or all aspects of your operations.
Can Energy Audits Be Customised for My Business?
Yes, every audit is customised to match your specific requirements—whether it’s a detailed assessment of a single site or a full-scale review across your entire organisation.
What’s Included in a Business Energy Audit?
A business energy audit covers a range of essential actions, from compliance management and mapping your total energy consumption to identifying high-usage areas and optimisation opportunities.
