Businesses of all sizes have never been more aware of the need to reduce energy consumption. The media is full of stories of how industry contributes to carbon emissions; there is pressure from Government and the public alike to demonstrate corporate responsibility, not to mention the spiraling costs of fuel – all of which contribute to make reducing energy consumption a necessity rather than a luxury.
But where do we begin? How can you be sure you’re cutting costs not corners? After all you’re in business to make a profit and cannot afford to cut energy consumption at the expense of running your business.
This is where Elkay can help. Decades of experience in energy management have given us the expertise to come into your organization and carry out a complete audit of your energy expenditure.
When we undertake an Energy Survey, we’ll tell you not only where you are wasting energy but recommend practical steps, by utilizing the Elkay energyrange, to reduce waste and tell you exactly how much you’ll save – in terms of energy output and money.
It’s a service which many blue-chip companies have already taken advantage of – and the savings can be staggering. For example, the average High Street bank emits seven tonnes of CO2 each year just by powering lights in back office areas and leaving them on all day, these were found to be areas of low occupancy. This can be reduced to just one tonne by controlling the lighting to be on only when the room is occupied. In financial terms, this will reduce the lighting bill in the back office by an average 85 percent, leading to an approximate 15 percent reduction on the overall energy bill for the branch.
To reinforce these findings, one nationally known UK retailer has cut their energy bill for lighting in back of shop by a massive 87 percent at just one of their branches after implementing the recommendations made in their energy survey.
