ESOS CONSULTANTS | ESOS Assessment | ESOS Energy Audit

We guarantee energy savings along with ESOS Compliance.

ESOS compliance requires organisations to conduct a detailed examination of their energy consumption along with site representative audits, which provides them with a better understanding of energy consumption in their operations. Our in-house ESOS lead assessors have supported many clients through ESOS Phases 1, 2, and 3 with significant identified savings. The energy expertise of our specialist ESOS consultants allow clients to maximise the benefits and savings of ESOS, contributing to a sustainable future while enhancing their bottom line.

Turning ESOS compliance into a significant opportunity for energy savings.

ESOS is a mandatory energy assessment scheme for organisations in the UK that meet the qualification criteria. The scheme requires the recording and reporting of energy data for buildings, transportation, and industrial processes. Furthermore, energy surveys are required, which must be accompanied by cost-effective recommendations to reduce energy demand and improve energy efficiency. All evidence must be signed off by an accredited ESOS Lead Assessor.

You must participate in ESOS if your company qualifies as a large undertaking in the UK, which means you must meet one or both of the following conditions:

  • Employs 250 or more people
  • An annual turnover in excess of £44 million, and an annual balance sheet total in excess of £38 million.
ESOS Action Plan deadline: 5th December 2024

The Department of Energy Security and Net Zero requires organisations to complete an ESOS action plan by 5 December 2024 and two annual progress updates in the two years following the action plan deadline. By implementing the ESOS Action Plan, the organisations will be able to improve energy efficiency and optimise building performance. The hard work of ESOS phase 3 compliance will be paid off!

Our in-house ESOS Lead Assessors & ESOS Consultants have assisted numerous businesses across several sectors in complying with their obligations for Phase 3. Providing end-to-end ESOS guidance, we will work alongside you through the entire ESOS Action Plan, advising you on the best route to implementation, guaranteeing energy savings, and ensuring annual progress with your sustainable commitments.

Scale up your ESOS Action Plan with ETS!

An ESOS Action Plan must cover the information below.

  • What to do to reduce energy consumption and timeline
  • Whether it was recommended through the ESOS assessment
  • What energy savings are expected to be achieved over the four-year period covered by the action plan & energy audit

Following submission of the action plan, participants must submit an annual progress update against action plan commitments in the two subsequent years.

  • The deadline for submitting annual progress updates is 12 months after the action plan deadline and then 12 months after the submission deadline for the first progress update.
  • The deadlines for the third compliance period are 5 December 2025 and 5 December 2026.
  • Each progress update relates to the 12-month period preceding the deadline.
Use accredited ISO50001 certification as a route to ESOS compliance.

If your organisation meets the ISO 50001 standards, then you are not required to conduct an ESOS assessment or appoint an ESOS lead assessor to review any of your paperwork. You simply need to inform the Environment Agency that you are compliant.

Take the advantage of ISO50001 to empower your energy system.

ISO 50001 is a powerful tool that empowers organisations to optimise their energy performance. By doing so, they can unlock new levels of efficiency, reduce costs, and make the most of their energy sources. From small businesses to global enterprises, ISO 50001 is making a real impact.

  • Consistent approach to energy management across all properties
  • Better understanding of energy use and energy management
  • Includes all levels of business (e.g. different departments, leadership, sites)
  • Improved energy performance/efficiency
  • Energy, carbon and cost reductions
  • Reducing environmental impact
  • Enhancing reputation
  • Continual improvement

The benefits of ESOS compliance

Reduced energy costs

Spend less on energy and reduce running costs thanks to increased operational efficiency – plus protect your business from energy price volatility.

Reduced carbon footprint

The UK has set a target to decarbonise all sectors of the economy and reach Net Zero by 2050. It’s crucial that all businesses play their part and SEMaaS is the first step to help achieve those sustainability goals.

Improved performance

Our services include performance audits, smart net zero strategies, BeMS control technologies and much more, all proven to maximise your building’s performance.

Optimised for less energy waste

Improved operational efficiency means less energy waste (and money savings too).

Increased return on investment

Energy & Technical Services has a proven track record of significant ROI for our clients. One Irish non-food retail client had a £33k contract and £130k energy savings achieved – that’s a 400% return on investment.

Ensure compliance

Qualifying organisations must carry out an ESOS assessment every four years. SEMaaS reduces your energy consumption to ensure your business stays compliant and energy efficient.
