We will come to your site and find out what you want to achieve.  It might be to reduce your ever increasing electricity bills, demonstrate your ‘green’ credentials to a customer or supplier, or to win a government tender, or you may simply want to contribute to your community by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Once we understand your needs, we will complete an onsite assessment where we capture data from all existing electricity using equipment onsite and enter this into approved energy 'toolkits'.

Insulation

Often referred to as the best cost/benefit action to reduce greenhouse gas pollution from buildings. Why? Because earlier constructed buildings did not take into account increasing energy costs and were probably built at a time when this was not a consideration. This is reflected by the average building rating being only 1.5 to 2 stars. To put it into perspective, the new government targets are 3.5 star and will increase over time.
Insulation will save you money by reducing the running costs of your air conditioner and heating. major users of electricity and generators of greenhouse gas pollution. Top of Page

Hot Water

In many companies hot water usage is similar to that of residential premises. Often the size of the unit is mismatched with actual consumption. Beyond a certain age a good option is to replace an older system as they are far less efficient than newer technologies. Hot water is usually the third best cost/benefit action for a business, while for businesses that use a lot of hot water, this can be a good action to reduce electricity costs.

Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

Generally HVAC is a large user of electricity, however the cost/benefit of replacement may not be seen as viable. When looking to replace an HVAC system it is important to have an energy assessor advise on the size and type that will best suit your business, as life expectancy is long and needs to meet existing and potential government compliance.
