ENERGY AUDITS
Commercial energy audits
A structured assessment of where your building consumes energy, what it costs, and which measures deliver a return worth acting on.
THE SERVICE
Evidence before expenditure
A commercial energy audit examines how a building actually uses energy: heating and hot water plant, ventilation and cooling, lighting, controls, building fabric and the operating patterns that drive consumption. We work from metered data and billing history alongside physical survey, so conclusions rest on evidence rather than assumption.
The output is a prioritised schedule of measures with indicative costs, expected savings, payback periods and available grant support. That gives finance and facilities teams a defensible basis for capital requests, rather than a list of upgrades with no supporting numbers.
Larger organisations may also carry a statutory obligation. Under S.I. 426/2014, large undertakings are required to undergo energy audits on a recurring basis. Whether the obligation applies depends on employee numbers, turnover and balance sheet totals, and we will help you establish your position before assuming either way.
BENEFITS
What the audit delivers
✔ A verified picture of consumption by system and by end use
✔ Indicative capital costs and expected annual savings
✔ Baseline data for ESG, carbon and sustainability reporting
✔ A defensible business case for capital approval
✔ Measures ranked by payback rather than by ease of sale
✔ Grant and funding routes identified against each measure
✔ Support in establishing whether a statutory audit obligation applies
✔ An implementation sequence that avoids abortive or duplicated work

Fundable
Grant routes mapped to each recommendation
WHY IT MATTERS
Where the obligation applies, it is not optional
Under S.I. 426/2014, which transposes the EU Energy Efficiency Directive, large undertakings must undergo a recurring energy audit covering a substantial proportion of total energy use. Many organisations are unclear whether they are in scope until enforcement correspondence arrives.
✔ Scope is determined by employee numbers and balance sheet totals
✔ Audits must be carried out by an appropriately registered auditor
✔ Coverage requirements apply to the proportion of total energy use assessed
✔ Funding and lender ESG requests increasingly expect the same data
