Our process
Mapping, Managing, Maximising
Map it.Manage it.Maximise it.
Mapping
We start by building a clear picture of each site. We review its meters, contracts, invoices, equipment and operating hours, then compare them with actual energy use. This establishes the starting point and highlights waste, errors and missing information.
Understand what you have and how it is used
What you receive
A clear baseline for the estate, showing what is working, what needs attention and what information is still missing.
Mapping the path to efficiency
Reading the estate as it is, so savings work starts from a record rather than an assumption.
Site and equipment review
We review what is installed at each site and how it is run, from lighting and heating and ventilation through to plant and the working pattern around it. The review records the equipment, its condition where that is visible, and the consumption it accounts for. Anything we cannot confirm on site or from a document is written down as unconfirmed.
Data insights
We collect the consumption data the meters already produce and read it against your own operating hours. That shows where demand sits through the day, which readings do not reconcile with the invoices, and which questions belong with the supplier or the network operator. Every finding is recorded with the data it came from.
Waste reduction
Mapping shows where energy is being used to no purpose: ageing equipment left running, load outside occupied hours, or charges still attaching to meters no longer in use. Each item is logged against the site it belongs to, so it can be dealt with in order rather than all at once.
Managing
We turn the findings into a practical plan for your estate and help run it. That means monitoring energy use, checking invoices, preparing contract renewals in good time and making sure each person knows what they are responsible for.
Put the plan into practice, day by day
What you receive
A managed plan with clear responsibilities, current information and progress you can see in Insights.
Managing energy effectively
Running the account against the register from stage one, with each action dated as it is taken. The plan for a portfolio follows how the sites are actually run and what the contracts allow, so decisions come from the record rather than a forecast.
Custom plans
We set out a written plan for the portfolio that fits its sites, its contract dates and the way it operates. The plan states what happens, when it happens and who holds it, so attention goes where the register says it is needed.
Smart technology
Where a site would read better with automation, controls or improved metering, we scope the work and a specialist contractor delivers it. We do not install plant ourselves. What the equipment would record, and what it would cost, is set out before anything is ordered.
Team briefing
We brief the people who hold the sites on what the plan asks of them, how to read the reports and who to contact when a figure does not look right. The briefing is written down so it can be repeated when staff change.
Maximising
Once the essentials are understood and managed, we assess longer-term options. Solar generation, storage, efficiency equipment and capacity changes are tested against your actual energy use, operating needs and plans for growth.
Assess the next opportunities using your own data
What you receive
A clear set of options with the calculations and assumptions shown. You decide what proceeds and sign every contract yourself.
Maximising long-term sustainability
Working through what the record shows, and keeping it current as the estate changes.
Renewable integration
Where on-site generation is worth considering, we assess whether a site can take it: roof or land available, connection capacity, the planning position, and how the output would sit against the demand recorded during mapping. The assessment is written up with its assumptions shown, and any physical work is delivered by a specialist contractor.
Future growth
Portfolios change. When sites are added or closed, or the operating pattern shifts, we revisit agreed capacity, contract terms and metering so the record stays current instead of being rebuilt from nothing later.
Regulatory compliance
We hold the compliance dates for each site, including ESOS and SECR duties where they apply, and chase them before they fall due. Where a duty is proposed rather than in force we label it as proposed, and we say plainly which obligations sit with you.
What the process does not include
The limits of the appointment are part of the appointment, so they are written down alongside it.
- We do not sign anything on your behalf at any stage. We hold a Level 1 Letter of Authority only.
- We do not estimate around missing data. A gap in the record is shown as a gap.
- We do not carry a recommendation forward on a rate alone. The reasoning is written down with it.
- We do not install plant ourselves. Physical work is scoped by us and delivered by a specialist contractor.
