ENERGY PROCUREMENT IS NOT ENOUGH!
Effective
procurement is only one half of good utility management. Once you have negotiated
the best possible rates, the work has only just begun. The next step is 'managing
down' the sites consumption of utilities without any loss of service. Through
investigation and assessment, it is possible to make a permanent reduction in
charges.
The best way to make such changes is through a methodical building utilities
consumption assessment followed by an analysis of direct environmental impact.
Once you understand how your building uses electricity, gas and water you can
compare this against your business requirements. At this point it is possible
to understand where the potential savings will realise from.
