Energy Audits
An energy audit is a recognised technique for identifying procedures and techniques to reduce energy costs.

The average saving achieved by Environmental Efficiency is 23% within a 15 month payback. One key to Environmental Efficiency's success in this area is that the company first identifies best practice for the sector and then examines how it can be implemented for the client.

The energy consultancy services also comprise feasibility studies, energy consumption benchmarking, project implementation, renewable energy and related consultancy.

Environmental Efficiency undertakes EIAs in all sectors and has specific expertise in quarries and housing developments. This work includes planning applications where necessary.
