Fully-funded (FREE!) Energy Audits

Fully-funded (FREE!) Energy Audits  

Apply for an Energy Audit through our ongoing UTILISE PLUS PROGRAMME, funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). 

WHAT IS AN ENERGY AUDIT?
An Energy Audit provides you with an impartial, expert assessment of how energy is used at your premises and makes recommendations on how to reduce your energy consumption and save money on your energy bills. 

A qualified Energy Assessor will review your organisation's energy data and building information and then visit your premises to undertake a thorough survey and see how energy is being used - this a visual inspection, so not invasive of the structure of the building. These visits usually take around 2 hours and the Assessor will need to be accompanied at all times.

After the site visit, you'll receive your unique Audit Report detailing all the energy saving opportunities for your organisation. 

HOW CAN I BOOK ONE?
To book an Energy Audit, simply register your interest on our website. We'll get in touch with you as soon as possible to collect information on your organisation and your energy use. Once we have everything we need, we can book a date for the audit at a time that's convenient for you.

ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for a free energy audit, you must be a small or medium sized enterprise (SME) based in the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership area. Read the full eligibility criteria on our website.
