Energy Surveys
Project Design Services Ltd employ highly experienced professionals who can conduct the preliminary assessments to generate the commercial energy certificates required by law. They can also provide more comprehensive assessments, which focus on energy saving measures that are most appropriate for your buildings and your budget.
The energy assessment can be carried out at several levels depending on your budget and requirements.
The standard assessment will provide the basic information required for commercial energy certificates with or without a survey. A standard assessment will be highly generic, and may be completed without full knowledge of your building and its services. It may also contain measures which are not appropriate for your building, or which would have a longer payback in your building than other, more suitable measures. These are the problems of low cost standard surveys.
Customised assessments can be carried out which will include a detailed survey of your buildings, which can provide:
- Detailed examination of system components
- Costings for the proposed measures
- A workable implementation plan to help you achieve your real targets
A full survey may reveal simple, low cost improvements, which will make a significant impact on your energy use. This full survey can include:
A detailed examination of system components
A Standard recommendations report (using inference values) will often indicate that systems such as boilers might usefully be replaced. By looking at the real boiler efficiency being achieved an assessment may find that boiler replacement would be unnecessary, or significantly less cost-effective that another energy saving measure more appropriate for your building.
Full costing of the measures
Full costing information is invaluable in making good decisions about which measures should be implemented first, or to allow stakeholders to understand why a phased implementation programme may be necessary.
Implementation Plans
Energy surveys are often left to gather dust, because although recipients are keen to reduce energy usage, actually implementing energy saving measures is not always straightforward. And many businesses lack the skills in house, to implement the results of a survey. Project Design Services Ltd is experienced in working with consultancies or contractors who can implement energy saving measures or systems for you.
