Rising gas and electricity prices are a major concern for UK business, yet few organisations have begun serious energy saving programs. The major reason for this could be that business leaders view their facilities and energy use as a cost, instead of a sound investment.
By considering energy and facilities as investments, organisations can gain control of their energy use and achieve high rates of return in the form of energy savings.
The return on investment of lighting and heating projects is often sizeable. In fact, they are often greater than other business investments.
Organisations are also eligible for rebates from government programs such as enhanced capital allowances.
"Energy makes up 30% of operating budgets for most organisations"
Benefits from lighting and heating projects include double digit energy reductions (in some instance up 60% energy saving), as well as improved building performance, worker productivity, and environmental responsibility.
Lighting and heating projects help organisations achieve energy efficiency with minimal risk and short paybacks, in some instance less than 12 months.
A comprehensive energy management program addresses all energy consumption in a facility, from the building “envelope” to the internal controls and systems, including lighting, heating, air conditioning, electricity, and water.
A measurable, verifiable energy management program allows business leaders to make informed decisions about their facilities and energy use. The result converts energy costs into competitive agile assets.
