Net Zero: How to Achieve it

Description

• How to understand your energy data and sub-metering.  If you can’t identify where, when, and how you are using energy then how can you target potential savings.
  • Where you use energy.  Clip on technology.  Much cheaper than sub-metering this technology can be installed by an onsite electrician and start the journey
  • When you use energy.  Energy costs less at night, are there any processes you can move to out of hours and reduce energy usage during peak periods
  • How you use energy.  Have you identified major energy usage equipment and optimised their usage
  • Do you have a continual energy improvement plan in place to review monthly your energy usage
• Lighting, heating and cooling optimisation
  • Are you using LED lighting which can provide up to 50% saving and motion sensors
  • Are your heating and cooling systems optimised, what is your policy on temperature range
  • Cooling costs more than heating, in a commercial environment where cooling is used to save energy you should turn UP your thermostat
• Spares and replacement policy
  • Instead of holding like for like spares can you upgrade to LED light fittings or Variable Speed Drives (VSD) when replacing component parts
• Building Management Systems (BMS)
  • Is this optimised and a policy created
• Quick wins in energy
  • PIR Lighting
  • Vending machines
  • BMS Settings
