Energy Audits and Management

Describe the outcome required as well as the immediate issue. The starting information should identify the location, people affected and any change in use, so the assessment addresses the current requirement rather than simply repeating the previous arrangement.

The brief covers data review, site assessment, significant uses and improvement options. It identifies assumptions, indicative priorities and further investigation required. Ongoing management adds action ownership, monitoring and review rather than stopping at a report.

A general energy audit is different from a statutory scheme assessment or an EPC. Define the required output and competence. Recommendations should consider operational constraints, maintenance and investment timing, with estimated benefits clearly distinguished from achieved results.

The proposal identifies the responsibilities that remain with the site or property team and the work included in our instruction. Connected repairs and specialist activities receive their own clear scope, so each person understands what they must arrange and what records they will receive.

Provide bills, interval data, site records and operating schedules. Identify significant equipment and planned projects. Agree the audit boundary and decision-makers who can turn findings into actions.

We establish the scope and review data before assessing the site. Findings identify opportunities and the evidence needed to progress them. Handover assigns the next steps and the method for reviewing results after changes.

For several sites, we agree consistent reporting and escalation while retaining local contacts and operating requirements. Each action stays connected to its building or service area, with a named route for decisions that affect the wider operation.

Site size, data quality, survey depth and modelling affect cost. Implementation and ongoing management are separate activities. Compare the defined outputs rather than a generic promise of savings.

Tell us about operating hours, critical periods and the activities that must continue. The programme and price should reflect those constraints, including any phased delivery, additional access arrangements and reporting needed by the operational team.

Offices need work coordinated with staff and visitors. Retail needs trading and deliveries considered. Hospitality brings guest areas and food operations into the brief, while education needs access planned around teaching. Our complete service and project offering supports all sectors, with the arrangements based on each site's actual activity.

We cover Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Tees Valley, including Berwick-upon-Tweed, Alnwick, Morpeth, Hexham, Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough. View all locations.

For a multi-site requirement, provide the local contact and working restrictions for each address. A common service brief still needs the differences between premises recorded.
