Did you know that the average UK business wastes up to 30% of their energy to inefficiencies? Energy waste from inefficient practices, below average voltage optimisation, and outdated systems is a common challenge for many businesses, leading to higher operating costs and unnecessary carbon emissions. For high energy users, this wasted energy can significantly impact both profitability and sustainability.
A professional site audit can help mitigate this. By examining your current energy use, a site audit identifies inefficiencies, uncovers savings opportunities, and helps businesses reduce their environmental footprint. At Renewable Energy Solutions, we provide tailored audits designed specifically for high energy users, enabling them to make informed decisions that maximise energy efficiency and contribute to savings.
Improving Energy Efficiency
A site audit provides a detailed review of your business’s energy consumption patterns, helping to pinpoint where inefficiencies are occurring. These could be due to outdated equipment, poor energy management practices, or even operational processes that need refining. The audit delivers professional recommendations that allow you to implement upgrades or changes that will reduce waste and increase efficiency. Voltage optimisation in particular can play a significant role in reducing energy waste by ensuring that equipment receives the optimal voltage level, thus improving efficiency and extending the lifespan of your electrical devices.
Discovering Cost-Saving Opportunities
Enhancing Sustainability
With increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions and meet sustainability targets, a site audit is a powerful tool for businesses looking to improve their environmental impact and achieve ISO 50001 certification. ISO 50001 demonstrates a commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability, helping businesses not only reduce costs and emissions but also enhance their reputation and meet regulatory requirements internationally. By optimising energy usage and considering options such as transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar PV, businesses can significantly reduce their carbon footprint.
Why High Energy Users Should Take Action
Businesses consuming over 300,000 kWh of gas and electric combined per annum stand to benefit the most from a site audit. At this level of energy use, the potential savings and efficiency improvements are substantial, often delivering an impressive return on investment. By identifying inefficiencies and making strategic upgrades, large energy users can cut costs, boost efficiency, and meet sustainability objectives more effectively.
How RES Can Help
At RES, we specialise in conducting site audits for high energy users, providing tailored recommendations that deliver tangible results. Our comprehensive audits assess all aspects of your energy usage, from equipment performance to energy management strategies, helping you uncover savings and operate more sustainably.
Site Audits can uncover and provide the opportunity for an external point of view on potential areas of inefficiencies, and areas of improvement – which ultimately are to aid towards reducing the bottom line, expenditure on gas and power. The potential for a small capital outlay, for fast return on investment is something which is worth exploring, as these small improvements have a long-lasting benefit to organisations looking to focus on energy reduction.
Site audits can be extremely beneficial to high energy users, enabling peak operational efficiency, cost savings and an increased level of sustainability. Contact one of our Renewables Specialists today to get started and unlock the benefits!
