Energy Audits

Energy audits are comprehensive assessments of a building’s current energy consumption and efficiency. Used by organisations to evaluate their buildings impact on the environment, energy audits identify opportunities for energy reduction, cost savings and improvements in environmental sustainability. These opportunities can vary from adjusting lighting and heating systems to water flow rate reduction and installing occupancy controls.

Why are commercial energy audits important?

• Save on energy costs – Energy is the largest running cost of a building and with rising energy costs, companies should be looking for ways to reduce their energy bills. Energy audits help identify where energy is being wasted or used inefficiently.
• Reduce your organisation’s carbon footprint – there is growing global pressure on businesses to be  more sustainable. Energy audits provide clear direction on how businesses can minimise the environmental impact of buildings and facilities and achieve climate related targets of the business.
• Inform investment decisions – Understanding energy usage and energy saving opportunities allows businesses to budget and plan for energy-related investments.

What is EED?

The European Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) is a regulatory framework established by the European Union mandating that large enterprises conduct energy efficiency audits every four years. This directive aims to enhance sustainable practices by ensuring periodic assessments of energy consumption and promoting the implementation of measures to improve overall energy efficiency within these organisations.

Acclaro has been supporting a range of companies to achieve compliance over the years since this directive was established. From multinational businesses with building footprints in several EU and UK locations, to medium-sized companies with one or two facilities.
