Energy Efficiency Assessments

WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF APPLYING TO BE INDEPENDENT ENERGY ASSESSORS - REGISTERED WITH THE VCSE ENERGY EFFICIENCY SCHEME TO DELIVER INDEPENDENT ENERGY ASSESSMENTS.

As part of our job we often have to assess how an existing heating system is performing, and as technology has progressed this increasing includes solar thermal and solar PV panels. Designing a system that can utilise the very most from all these systems has become second nature to us and it seems only logical for us to become Government registered as Independent Energy Assessors.

An IEA is a comprehensive evaluation of your building’s energy usage, efficiency and potential for energy savings, conducted by a qualified and experienced independent energy assessor.

With a satisfactory IEA, and provided you meet the wider eligibility criteria, your organisation may also apply for a Capital Grant. Capital Grants of between £2,000 and £150,000 can be used to install capital energy efficiency measures, identified in your IEA, to reduce your building’s energy costs and support the delivery of your frontline services.

The VCSE Energy Efficiency Scheme will help voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) across England to deliver more efficient services for people and communities by saving money on their energy bills.

Our assessments cover the following:

• Space & water heating measures - efficient boiler/heating (HVAC improvements), heating controls, point of use water heaters, smart building management systems, heated water low-flow fixtures, Heat Recovery Ventilation systems, Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Systems, Voltage optimisation.
• Lighting - LED lighting systems, light fittings, lighting controls and occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting systems.
• Renewable energy measures - heat pumps, solar panels, wind turbines, Micro-Hydro Systems, battery storage biomass.
• Other capital measures by exception and recognised as proven to make significant reductions in energy.
