How can your organisation benefit from Smart Net Zero?
Achieving net zero carbon status can offer several benefits for businesses:
Enhanced reputation and brand value
Being committed to net zero demonstrates environmental leadership and responsibility which can enhance a company’s reputation, brand value, and stakeholder trust. It can attract environmentally conscious customers, investors, and employees who align with the company’s sustainability goals.
Competitive advantage
As environmental concerns grow, companies that have achieved net zero carbon status can gain a competitive edge over their peers. They may be preferred by customers and partners who prioritise sustainability and are more likely to engage in business relationships that align with their values.
Cost savings and operational efficiency
Pursuing net zero often involves adopting energy-efficient practices, transitioning to renewable energy sources, and optimising operations. These aspects of Smart Net Zero lead to reduced energy consumption, lower operating costs, and increased operational efficiency.
Regulatory compliance and risk mitigation
As governments worldwide implement stricter environmental regulations and carbon pricing mechanisms, businesses that have already achieved net zero carbon status will be better positioned to comply with evolving requirements. By proactively addressing their emissions, companies can mitigate the risks associated with potential penalties, carbon taxes, and future regulations.
Access to new markets and investment opportunities
Some markets and investors are increasingly prioritising environmentally sustainable practices through Environmental, Social Governance (ESG). Achieving net zero carbon status can open doors to new markets, partnerships, and investment opportunities that specifically target sustainable businesses and projects.
Resilience and future-proofing
Net zero initiatives contribute to building resilient business models that are better prepared for the challenges of a changing climate and evolving market dynamics. By proactively addressing climate risks and reducing dependence on carbon-intensive practices, companies can future-proof their operations and reduce vulnerabilities associated with climate change impacts.
Don’t wait for sustainability to become a corporate necessity. Lead the way with Smart Net Zero and transform your organisation into a beacon of environmental responsibility. It’s not just a commitment; it’s a competitive edge in a world that demands smarter, greener solutions.

What is Smart Energy Management?
Smart energy management uses real-time data analytics and the latest technologies to help businesses reduce their energy consumption; saving them money in the process. This is achieved using smart energy management systems, which monitor, control, measure, and optimise energy consumption in a building, factory, or any facility.
The data from the smart energy management system is then analysed, to identify areas of opportunity where consumption could be reduced and money savings made. Smart energy management is becoming increasingly vital for businesses, especially in the current climate of rising energy prices and carbon emission targets.
Your smart energy management experts
We don’t just install smart energy management systems – we have an expert team of building engineers, controls specialists, data scientists and energy and carbon managers to provide a full end to end service.
Our combined engineering, strategy and technology expertise is what sets us apart – ETS is where the digital meets physical, to save you money, ensure compliance, reach sustainability goals and maximise building performance.

Amend building services scheduling
We recommend amending building services plant and equipment schedules to align more closely with your amended operating hours. This should be done through the BMS (Building Management System) wherever possible, ensuring that all equipment is put into ‘auto’ and not left on ‘hand’ settings. This will ensure that the equipment is appropriately controlled through the BMS and aligned with updated scheduling.
Reduce any heating and air conditioning
You should reduce set points for space heating and introduce setbacks for out of hours occupancy, though you shouldn’t turn off boilers and heating equipment off fully. There will need to remain some level of cycling for building services equipment to allow for frost protection and building fabric protection. You’ll also need to take into account any partial occupancy throughout the shutdown period.
Much of the same applies to air conditioning and ventilation. Ventilation equipment should be reduced, but not turned off completely. Consideration should also be given to the use of reduced and localised ventilation through fan coil units if possible, to reduce any reliance on centralised whole-building space conditioning.
Turn off lighting and small power items where possible
Check any and all lighting that isn’t controlled by the BMS and turn off where possible, but be sure to maintain any lighting levels required to ensure safety in certain environments – for example, external lighting in urban areas as appropriate. Lighting should be reduced as much as possible, but maintaining safety while doing so is key.
Building managers should also ensure that once the building is vacated, all computers, screens and audio-visual equipment are fully turned off and not left in sleep mode. Similarly, all small power items should be turned off where appropriate and not left in hibernate.
Maintain critical water systems
It’s also crucial to take the right approach to your water systems when shutting down your building. Critical systems should be maintained, and operation kept in-line with the Health & Safety Executives Approved Code of Practice L8 to mitigate the risk of legionella upon building reactivation.
Continue to track energy consumption
It’s important to align your updated temporary strategy with any energy management software or external bureau that is being used by the building. Any alerting parameters for excessive consumption should be adjusted to align with the new operational profile.
This will enable you to have a good handle on any potential areas with excessive consumption during a shutdown or lower occupancy period. Additionally, it’s also a great way to gain insight into your baseline consumption within the property. This will then enable you to make better energy management decisions when the building comes back into full operation.
Final thoughts
In short, there’s a lot of things that can be done to minimise energy usage while maintaining building integrity and quality during a shutdown – the above represent some of the key considerations.
For additional guidance, we recommend the Building Engineering Services Association’s SFG30: Mothballing and Reactivation, which provides good holistic guidance on this topic.

Smart energy management as a service can be broken down into five steps:
The process does not have to be linear and customers can start the journey at any stage, from initial planning through to energy audits.
Smart – think about what you’d want the outcome to be, what resources you need to apply and over what timeframe. ETS will gather all your relevant data sets and deploy experienced engineers to audit your facility and major energy users. Clever controls specialists will interrogate your control systems and experienced energy managers will make sense of all this information so that we can advise, manage, optimise and drive down your real time energy consumption.
Why you need smart energy management as a service
There’s never been a more urgent time to get smart about your energy management. With energy prices rising at an alarming rate and the pressing issue of climate change, businesses need to act now if they want to reach sustainability goals and get maximum value for money.
Many businesses already have smart energy management systems in place, but different providers are often brought in to analyse the data or implement the necessary changes. With smart energy management as a service from ETS, we provide all the services you need in tandem so you don’t waste any time.
