Energy Audits
ENERGY PERFORMANCE AUDIT
- First step for your energy savings
- Read our latest case studies
Energy Audit can be the game changer for your business.
To understand your energy usage,undertaking an energy audit with a clear structure and on-site energy survey is key. We will start with benchmarking, profiling, regression analysis, reviewing billing & tariffs and comparison analysis, which gives us the knowledge of your energy consumption. Furthermore an energy survey will examine energy consumption across different departments, buildings, and sites, identifying significant energy users / energy hotspots and determine irregular energy patterns. We will identify significant energy use.
- Plant condition, age, maintainability & operability
- Controls and plant operating strategy
- Fabric design and layout
- Lighting type, operation and use
- Building use and habits
Our energy experts will identify and discuss energy corrections, improvement in control, plant upgrades or refurbishment. Or under specific circumstances, companies will have to replace obsolete or defective equipment with contemporary or alternate sources where Capital Expenditure is a significant factor. Net Zero or Carbon Neutrality is approaching every business, and renewable solutions can be part of an energy efficiency upgrade plan, depending on each company’s needs and development.

Best practices | Real estate case study
Our skill is approved by our client, Savills. Energy & Technical Services were tasked with ensuring energy efficiency for a large, multi-use site in the UK. We surveyed the M&E services, HVAC plant and equipment, conformance, BeMS & controls and identified possible energy-saving initiatives, assessed plant performance, and reviewed planned preventative maintenance. Our efforts resulted in a continuous contract to carry on quarterly energy audits, which contributes to substantial energy savings. Despite the building’s total floor space of approximately 450,000 sqft and various multi-use tenancies, we were able to propose low-cost solutions that reflected the energy consumption requirements for each tenant. Our operational changes to the plant equipment achieved a pro-rata £25,000 per annum savings within the first three months. We also helped the client improve operational behaviour and maintain energy efficiency, even as the building became more densely populated with new tenants. Our work represents how Energy & Technical Services’ expertise in energy savings performance contracting, technical consultancy, energy management, and performance auditing can help clients achieve their energy-saving goals while maintaining a comfortable and safe environment.

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.
