Energy Efficiency

In our net zero economy, every business must focus on becoming energy efficient. Aside from the environmental benefits that this will bring, businesses will also reap financial and social rewards.

Sustainability targets are now a key component of any business strategy. But the journey towards attaining optimal energy efficiency can seem like a daunting and uphill task.
At EIC, our expert team is on hand with a range of solutions that can be tailored to your business needs. We are dedicated to helping our clients to reach their sustainability goals and become consistently efficient.

Lighting solutions

20% of electricity that is generated in the UK is consumed by lighting. So, for a business to really tackle their emissions levels they must make the switch to becoming energy efficient. LED lighting is a smart, environmentally-friendly solution.

At EIC, we can assist you in implementing bespoke lighting solutions – reducing your carbon footprint, saving you money and lowering your energy consumption.

Monitoring and metering

Monitoring and metering your utilities is essential if you want to build an effective energy management strategy. Aside from identifying potential inefficiencies, these services bring many environmental and financial benefits for businesses.

Monitoring allows companies to analyse and understand areas of high energy consumption within their sites. Metering and sub-metering allows businesses to accurately and efficiently reduce their consumption, costs and carbon footprint. It also enables you to dive deeper into the reasons behind these areas of high consumption.

Our business energy monitor service can offer you a full report that compares and quantifies your energy and water metering data.

We can also provide a variety of other reports, including:

Solar power and onsite generation

An onsite solar photovoltaic (PV) solution is an ideal way to reduce your energy bills. Generating power from solar panels will reduce your emissions, help the environment, and can be linked with a battery solution to and can be a welcome secure fixed cost supply, in a volatile market.

Solar provides a way to take control of your energy supply.
By reducing reliance on the grid, you can boost self-sufficiency and offset any increases in energy costs.

The benefits of solar include:

In consideration with battery technology, solar could provide an addition to your optimal net zero solution. By introducing battery storage, businesses can become more reliant on their own energy storage and less reliant on the grid. This will also reduce CO₂ emissions, as well as resulting in savings for your business.

Building management system (BMS)

Establishing an efficient and effective building management system can seem daunting for businesses with multiple sites or a large workforce. But it is vital that you become aware of exactly where, when and how you consume energy.
Our sister brand, t-mac, offers a full BMS solution to help you future-proof your business and integrate control of your energy and buildings. The benefits of implementing a BMS solution include:
