Reducing energy in practical steps
Expert guidance to reduce energy, save money and reduce carbon emissions.
Uk business waste
The department for business, energy and industrial strategy (beis) estimated that british businesses wasted £15.6bn of energy in 2020.
Carbon emissions
In 2020, energy waste from inefficient hvac and lighting systems in the uk’s commercial and public buildings was thought to be equivalent to 8.4m tonnes of co2 emissions, according to the energy savings trust.

Rising energy costs and the climate emergency
There are few who would argue against the need for – or the benefits of – reducing energy wastage and improving efficiency. Analysts predict that a period of high energy prices is set to continue this decade. At the same time, the race to reduce carbon emissions and meet sustainability goals brings its own imperative for action.
First, it’s necessary to identify how energy is being used in your organisation. This is often a complex task, but an essential starting point to reduce energy, costs and carbon.
Experts by your side
Commercial’s team of sustainability experts will assess your site’s energy consumption, identifying every possible opportunity to reduce energy consumption, costs and carbon
Identify waste
If you don’t know the source of inefficiency, you can’t fix it. Our experts bring their technical knowledge and careful analysis to assess all the energy consuming systems on your site.
This includes heating, air conditioning, ventilation, it equipment and lighting.
Understand your ROI
Implementing energy efficiency measures requires a level of investment, which may include replacing equipment, introducing new systems or processes, or updating the fabric of older buildings.
When making investment decisions, you’ll want to know what the returns will be, in financial and carbon savings.
Make changes stick
Human behaviour is one of the biggest factors in reducing energy consumption, from the easy wins to the long-term embedding of more energy efficient ways of working.
Commercial brings experience in employee-led change programmes, alongside our technical analysis, providing the kind of practical solutions that keep delivering.
Solving your challenges
Reducing power consumption is an intricate challenge, particularly if your organisation is split across multiple sites, incorporating many kinds of usage. Whether offices, warehouses, manufacturing plants or retail spaces, power reduction is a crucial part of any sustainability journey. Our expert team is here to guide you, step by step.
Lack of awareness
We can’t see it, so it can be difficult to know where energy is being wasted, or what to do when you discover the answer. Few businesses have the technical expertise within their inhouse teams.
Regulatory uncertainty
If your organisation has more than 250 employees, or a turnover of more than £44m, then you’re bound to comply with the mandatory energy assessment scheme introduced by the government, the energy savings opportunity scheme (ESOS). Our expert team can help you navigate these regulations.
Complexity of energy use
The energy consuming systems in a business can be complex, and the ways to improve them may seem difficult to grasp. Where to start? We’ll build a practical plan and communicate it clearly, so that you can make well-informed decisions.
Staff engagement
Employees have a huge role to play in energy efficiency and sustainability measures. We’ll support you with tried and tested ways to engage your people, helping them to feel empowered to save power.

Better for business, better for the environment
Once we’ve helped you get to grips with your energy consumption and worked together on a practical plan to cut your energy, costs and carbon, there’s plenty to feel positive about.
Save money
With wholesale prices unlikely to return to pre-pandemic levels before 2030, efficiency measures implemented now will have a payback in typically around two years, contributing a healthy return on investment.
Save carbon
Reducing energy consumption is one of the simpler ways of reducing carbon emissions as we move towards net zero targets, because it’s about changing what’s in your control.
Grow engagement
As many as 83% of employees say they are more likely to remain with their employer if it takes action on sustainability and carbon reduction.
Win business
In many sectors, sales increase when action is taken on sustainability and carbon reduction. That’s growth happening in retail (up 10.5%), food and drink (6.2%), manufacturing (7.3%) and financial services (4.2%).

INNOVATIONS IN POWER REDUCTION
Technology is creating more ways to use less energy
Advances in technology, increasing impetus from industry and evolving government regulation means that the next decade will bring more ways to use less energy in UK businesses.
Smart buildings
Buildings equipped with sensors and smart technology will monitor the use of energy, identifying areas of inefficiency and adjusting the settings to reduce energy consumption.
Automated demand response (ADR)
ADR technology allows businesses to automatically adjust energy use in response to changes in energy demand or availability.
Heat pumps
Suitable for many building types, systems powered by heat pumps rather than traditional boilers can reduce energy usage by up to 70%, according to the Energy Savings Trust.
