A Consultant Who Won’t Cost You Money

11 April 2009

Making tough property decisions.

One such tough decision is to seek help: In times of recession management consultants seem to proliferate, each offering their individual brands of wonderful solutions. However, a newer breed of consultant, energy management consultants and environmental consultants, offer more practical, straight forward solutions to cutting costs without compromising the business. Using one of these companis offering energy management solutions where this saving is guaranteed is not a touch decision at all!

There are huge benefits that can arise from a detailed energy assessment of commercial and industrial property. These can save clients thousands of pounds not only by looking at ways the property itself can be improved to avoid wasting energy, but also looking at the way occupiers use them; it’s amazing what they find!

As an example: At one property, we discovered that a single member of staff came to work over an hour before anyone else and helpfully switched on the heating and all the lights so it was ‘warm and cosy’ when everyone else came in. Just managing this situation resulted in savings on energy bills of 15%. On top of this there were the lights; left on all day, even in summer, when there were enough windows and enough daylight not to need them.

You may think these things are fairly obvious. On the surface, yes they are, but it’s amazing how easily we can all get used to something and not give it serious thought. It often needs a fresh pair of eyes, and a detached view to identify these things.

Any sensible business owner should always be on the lookout for ways to reduce costs and increase profits; reducing energy bills, with energy efficiency and energy saving advice and recommendations from a company offering Energy Management Solutions, is a step in the right direction.
