Mike Turner, Development Director comments: "It is
estimated that British businesses spend between £50,000 and
£3million on their annual energy bills and this is set to increase
given rising energy costs. According to research from energy
provider E.On nearly four million of the UK’s 4.8
million small to medium-sized
businesses are potentially missing out on savings
of up £2,000 per year each by not implementing energy
efficiency measures, such as lighting timers and energy
monitors.
"Businesses are being encouraged to take
a holistic approach to energy management in order to achieve
long-term savings within the corporate building environment. With
the Green Deal, which is the Government’s initiative to reduce
carbon omissions by 80 per cent down on 1990 levels, just around
the corner the public and private sector are set to play a key role
in helping to achieve this target.
"But a survey by E.On has found that
just 21 per cent of firms use energy efficient technology to reduce
their business energy bills. Just over 80 per cent have no energy
monitor installed, and 13 per cent leave windows and doors open
while running air conditioning.
“Businesses really need to start to
decide on an approach to energy management if they are going to
tackle rising costs effectively. It’s not just about insulating
buildings or encouraging staff to turn lights off; it’s about
taking a holistic approach to lead to long-term savings. This
involves focusing on exploring energy generation through renewable
sources, as well as efficient building performance and addressing
building-user behaviour in affecting energy
consumption.”
