1. Preliminary Assessments
Preliminary assessments are essential for identifying initial opportunities and laying the groundwork for more detailed analyses and projects. Vivid Edge preliminary assessments can provide clients with a reasonable foundation for understanding their current energy usage and identifying immediate opportunities for improvement. This step is crucial for setting the stage for more in-depth analyses and long-term energy management strategies.
- Initial Site Visits: Conducting site visits to gather basic information about energy systems and identify potential areas for improvement.
- Baseline Energy Consumption Analysis: Establishing a baseline for current energy use to measure future improvements.
- Opportunity Identification: Highlighting immediate and short-term opportunities for energy savings and efficiency improvements.
- Feasibility Studies: Conducting initial feasibility studies for potential energy projects, including renewable energy installations and efficiency upgrades.
- Preliminary Cost-Benefit Analysis: Providing an initial estimate of costs, savings, and return on investment for proposed projects.
- Client Needs Assessment: Understanding the client’s goals, budget, and constraints to tailor further services effectively.
2. Energy Audits
- Basic Audit: An evaluation of a building or facility’s energy consumption with the goal of identifying opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs
- Targeted Audits: Focus on specific areas such as HVAC systems, lighting, or industrial processes.
- Comprehensive Energy Audits (Investment Grade Audit): Detailed assessment of energy usage across all areas of an organisation or facility.
- Compliance Audit: Energy Audit to meet the requirements of large industry energy audits under the requirements of the SI426 Energy Audit Scheme and the further requirements of the European Energy Efficiency Directive Article 8 requirements.
3. Utility Bill Analysis
- Bill Verification: Checking bills for accuracy by verifying rates, usage, and charges.
- Rate Optimisation: Analysing current rates and tariffs to ensure clients are on the most cost-effective plan.
- Usage Patterns Analysis: Identifying peak usage times and seasonal variations to recommend strategies for cost reduction.
- Billing Error Detection: Spotting and rectifying errors in utility bills that can lead to unnecessary charges.
- Historical Data Review: Examining past utility bills to track usage trends and pinpoint areas for potential savings.
- Demand Charge Management: Assessing and managing demand charges to reduce peak load costs.
4. Energy Management
- Energy Consumption Monitoring: Regular monitoring and reporting of energy usage to identify trends and areas for improvement.
- Energy Management Plans: Development and implementation of strategies to optimise energy use.
5. Energy Efficiency Improvements
