Lack of adequate tools to measure energy use

As we explained in Step 2, it pays to monitor the way in which you use energy across all areas of your business.

Having the right monitoring tools will give you a better understanding as to where you’re using energy.

The benefits for your plan include:

• improved ability to measure the success of your energy efficiency initiatives
• reducing the risk of your energy use creeping back up
• holding your tradespeople to account as these tools can measure whether their changes are working
• holding new equipment suppliers to account, as monitoring can verify whether their equipment is achieving its stated energy reduction claims.
