How we can help

Our technical advice and project feasibility support includes:

Site surveys and energy audits
An experienced Carbon Trust engineer will examine your building, recommending the opportunities with the best paybacks and carbon savings. To identify the greatest savings, we look at the way in which a building or site operates, including energy controls and maintenance procedures, as well as at the energy consuming systems in the building. 

Energy Management Service
We gather data from your energy meters and use specialist software to show how and where you are consuming energy. Our team of experts analyses the data to identify specific issues and opportunities to reduce consumption, and provides advice and guidance on implementing them.

ISO 50001 services
We can help you prepare for ISO 50001 - the international energy management standard.

Feasibility studies
We have the tools and expertise to carry out feasibility studies and investment grade assessments on all key energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies. We focus on whole life costs, and can carry out lifecycle costing analysis to back up the purchase of energy efficient equipment

Decentralised energy support
With expertise in stakeholder management, planning policy support, financial and commercial modelling, and technical advice, we can support you through the decentralised energy project development process.
