Energy Conservation Measures

Maximising Cost and Carbon Savings

We have a long track record of working with organisations in all sectors to identify self-funding Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) which have long-term benefits for both carbon reduction and cost savings. After monitoring and measuring your energy usage we can then make recommendations as to which energy conservation measure suits your buildings.

Air Handling Units & Chillers

Significant technological advancements in efficiency, reliability and performance of HVAC technologies and the introduction of sophisticated controls replacing low-efficiency legacy technologies, we can reap the benefits of lower energy spend and maintenance requirements and reduced carbon emissions

Insulation Improvements

Overall efficiency of low carbon heat generation can be reduced if the distribution system isn’t correctly insulated, resulting in excessive heat loss & poor control which reduce efficiency. Energy surveys can identify areas for improvement and calculate the carbon & energy savings they will deliver

Fabric Measures

The UK has a diverse building stock, over 20% of Scotland’s buildings are pre-1919. Older buildings typically have poor thermal properties, but retrofit building insulation are effective measures for reducing energy usage alongside enhancements to floors, windows, doors, wall, chimneys and flues

Building Energy Management System

A good quality BEMS oversees the operation of your building’s energy systems, utilising data to monitor performance, creating a cycle of continuous improvement. We can upgrade, optimise & expand BEMS, enhance control strategies & introduce additional sensors to continually monitor essential areas

LED Lighting

Upgrading fluorescent & incandescent lighting to modern LED fittings with intelligent controls can deliver energy savings of 50-60% whilst reducing carbon emissions. Additional benefits include improved lighting levels, short return on investment and significantly reduced maintenance costs

Bespoke Energy Saving Measures

We can deliver bespoke solutions based on the project environment. We’ve delivered enhancements including fume cupboard upgrades in labs to improving ammonia-based cooling systems at ice arenas. Bespoke solutions are generated during energy surveys, costed & presented as an investment grade proposal

Waste Heat Recovery

Harnessing waste heat plays a large role in the Government’s energy plans, generating substantial energy savings & providing low-carbon solutions to heat buildings. Our specialist teams can provide project specific advice

Variable Speed Drives

VSD technology delivers intelligent variable speed control for pump & fan motors. This is useful for energy conservation, as small reductions in air flows, pumping speeds & pressures can result in large energy savings. As a cost-effective technology, we investigate VSD to deliver strong improvements
