Energy Automation

Commercial and Industrial enterprise are responsible for approximately one fifth of the UK’s CO2 emissions, however the sector as a whole has historically been profligate in its attitude to energy use. Such energy wastage not only results in unnecessary cost to business, but is fundamentally detrimental to the industry’s efforts to drive down CO2 emissions in line with the government’s ambitious, but necessary reduction targets. Effective energy management is therefore an essential part of any sustainability strategy. A critical first step in any energy management programme is the accurate measurement and monitoring of how much energy a building uses. This is by no means an easy process. Appropriate metering systems, installed so as to record consumption throughout an organisation, are able to provide owners and occupiers with the information necessary in order to take the first steps towards improving the energy efficiency of their businesses. The many benefits include the potential for energy, cost and CO2 savings, as well as the provision of data to support corporate reporting and compliance with increasing environmental legislation such as the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme and ESOS. Energy Automation can deliver highly engineered yet affordable energy management solutions for organisations small and large.
