3. Wholesale energy prices are volatile and non-commodity costs are
increasing. One way to combat rising bills is to reduce your energy
consumption and improve your efficiency. For many businesses, a
20% cut in energy costs represents the same bottom line benefit
as a 5% increase in sales. Energy Solutions can help you do this.
introduction to Energy Solutions
What is an Energy Solution?
Energy Solutions is the division of Utilitywise responsible for delivering consumption reduction, renewable technology and on-site
generation solutions to our clients’ estates. With over 100 years combined experience in this sector we are uniquely placed to tackle your
sites’ ever-changing energy requirements. Our flexible approach to developing solutions means you can be confident we will deliver what
you need, when you need it. Our services range from single technology installations to energy audits and turnkey solutions, developed in
partnership with our clients and delivered by our in-house project management team. To complement our solutions we place a significant
emphasis on Staff Awareness Training and embedding a culture of sustainability and energy efficiency with everyone involved. We can
also help devise and implement Carbon Management Plans and a detailed Energy Policy for your organisation.
Our agnostic approach gives us the freedom to focus on what’s right for you and your business, giving you the peace of mind that the
project has your goals at heart. If required, we can also refer you to a variety of potential funding solutions to support your Energy
Solutions journey.
Aimed at organisations with an appetite for identifying and implementing consumption reduction or on-site generation projects, Energy
Solutions is a holistic approach to your electricity, gas, water and carbon issues. Our process follows a simple 5 step plan;
1. Scoping Visit – carried out by our Energy Solutions Architect to ensure that there is potential to either reduce consumption, deliver on-
site generation or a combination of both opportunities.
2. Energy Solutions Survey (ESS) – pulls together all the potential opportunities for reduction and generation, discusses funding and
builds a commercial business case for project investment. The ESS will be delivered to key stakeholders as a workshop presentation.
3. Project Development Stage (PDS) – commences on agreement and is designed to refine and develop the project into a deliverable
solution, agree the commercials and any potential funding. The PDS will also be presented as a workshop. On project commencement
we will assign a Project Manager to oversee the delivery of the solutions on your behalf.
4. Project Delivery – our expert Project Management team will take on the responsibility as primary contractor and deliver the entire
project on your behalf. They will manage everything, leaving you free to get on with running your business.
5. On-going Partnership – it’s our intention to continue to work with you once the project has been completed. We can support the
technical measures with Staff Awareness Training, marketing campaigns or even developing a bespoke Energy Policy.

5. FIND YOUR ROUTE TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY
There are four routes to energy saving measures that Utilitywise can help you with;
1 Energy Solutions Project
This route will give you the most comprehensive view of energy saving opportunities you can take advantage of and is a detailed
investigation into your sites’ energy use, assets and fabric. We’ll work in partnership with your business to create a tailored solution
that will:
• Reduce your consumption and wastage
• Identify and implement potential on-site generation opportunities
• Guide you towards a leaner and more efficient estate
We’ll present the findings of our survey to you as a workshop business case. The cost of our initial survey is refundable should you
proceed with an Energy Solutions project. We can also refer you to a variety of potential funding solutions.
The Energy Solutions journey:
2 ESOS Solutions Project
We will implement elements from your ESOS Recommendations Report so you can benefit from your compliance with the scheme. We
can also assist you with ISO 50001 certification to help you obtain a robust structure for energy efficiency ahead of ESOS phase 2.
3 Energy Audit
Undertaken by a Utilitywise Energy Surveyor, this is a top-level audit that will review your buildings’ energy use. Though this is not as
in-depth as an Energy Solutions project it will still provide you with a Recommendation Report which will provide you with an outline of
the potential opportunities at your site(s).
4 Individual Technology Installation
If you know of an energy saving solution you would like implemented at your site, such as solar panels for your roof, we can match and
introduce you to a long-term specialist partner who will assist with your chosen project.

6. SOLUTIONSFORALLBUSINESSES
Below you’ll find examples of solutions and technologies that can be implemented in a variety of different
organisations, along with the benefits they can bring.
School
HVAC (Heating, Ventilating Air Conditioning)
These systems control temperature, humidity and quality of air in buildings.
Heating costs rise by about 8% for each 1°C of overheating (Carbon Trust).
Traditional boilers
Boilers provide heat and hot water within most buildings and are often linked to HVAC systems.
Your heating costs can increase by 30% or more as a result of poorly operated or maintained boilers.
Office
Solar PV
Solar photovoltaics (PV), more commonly known as solar panels, convert sunlight into electricity for use in buildings or
export to the grid.
Installations can reduce CO2
by up to 10% and you could earn money through the Feed-in Tariff (Carbon Trust).
Staff Awareness Training
We can help educate and motivate your teams to use energy and water more efficiently.
Most businesses could save 10% on their energy bills through behavioural changes.
Hospital
Chillers
Self-contained units which produce chilled water or fluid for use in process or air conditioning equipment.
Typical savings for an 800kW process chiller can be up to £25,000 per annum (Carbon Trust).
LED
A light emitting diode (LED) is highly efficient and emits light when conducting current.
Up to 40% of a building’s electricity use is accounted for by lighting (Carbon Trust). LEDs use 90% less energy than
traditional lamps (DECC Advice Guide).
Zoo
Biomass boilers
These systems commonly burn wood pellets or wood chips and typical Return on Investment is 15-18%.
Burning wood only emits the same amount of CO2
as absorbed during its growth, so it is classed as carbon neutral.
Wind Solutions
Turbines produce electricity by capturing the natural power of wind to drive a generator.
Wind power is the most well developed and economically viable form of renewable energy (Carbon Trust).

7. Manufacturer
Steam
Systems that generate steam for use within their process, and sometimes heating.
Inefficient systems can add to the cost of manufacture. Efficient systems can save up to 15%.
Compliance and legislation
Our in-house experts can help with an array of carbon compliance schemes from DECs and EPCs to CRC,
CCAs and ESOS.
CHP (Combined Heat Power)
The simultaneous generation of usable heat and power in a single process.
Sites typically see annual savings of up to 20% (Carbon Trust).
Compressed Air
Devices that take in air at atmospheric pressure and convert it for potential energy use.
Compressed air can be responsible for 10% of your energy bill, half of which can be due to leaks (DECC Advice Guide).
Retail Store
Pumps and invertors
Invertors are able to control pumps and other motors.
Savings of up to 40% are achievable, potentially more with dynamic control.
Controls
Using a mix of hardware and cloud-based software you can implement, manage and amend energy
use and efficiency at the touch of a button.
Controls can reduce consumption by up to 30%.
Farm
Anaerobic digestion
A process in which bacteria break down organic material (such as wastewater, manure and garden waste) in the
absence of oxygen to produce a methane-rich biogas, which can be combusted to generate electricity and heat.
Payback times tend to be short, under five years, partly because of the avoided high cost of waste disposal
(Carbon Trust).
Water Solutions
Our team can help you with effective procurement, efficiency projects (water saving and re-use technology)
and influencing behavioural changes.
In Scotland, simply switching your water supplier can reduce your bill by up to 15-20%.

8. Visualise and control your energy usE
Once you’ve invested in an Energy Solutions project you’ll want to be able
to see the impact it has on your businesses. Using our monitoring and
verification software you can take full control of your energy consumption
and see the benefits of your project in action.
Our software will enable you to truly understand what influences your consumption. Together with
t-mac Technologies (part of Utilitywise since April 2015) we can help you realise your businesses’
full energy saving potential.
Metering Solutions
We can help source and install innovative metering solutions for your electricity, gas and water
requirements. If you want to better understand the detail we can provide circuit level monitoring
and access to real-time data. All of the valuable information we track on your behalf can be viewed
minute by minute on our sophisticated online software.
Monitoring and Targeting
By enabling you to visualise what you consume you can understand how you’re using energy and
water and when you can reduce consumption. Our easy to use, intuitive software accommodates all
user types from energy managers to finance directors.
All the data can be viewed in our SMART.DASH App – a responsive energy dashboard enabling
businesses to view, compare and share data with building occupants. You can display the
dashboard on screen in your reception to engage all employees and visitors to the building. The App
makes energy management understandable for everyone. Using easy-to-digest dynamic animated
charts and gauges, SMART.DASH quickly quantifies and visualises a building or an entire estates’
energy consumption and performance.
BeMS and Controls
Our energy engineered solutions ensure you can keep business as usual while our systems
constantly work to control and regulate energy intensive equipment such as heating, cooling and
lighting to deliver cost and usage savings. Having such control can lead to quick and sustainable
savings. Where metering and/or AMR data is available, our team verify the controls to provide
evidence of energy consumption and cost reductions.
“We can now get an excellent
understanding of where energy
is being wasted, whether that’s
during an event, in build or
breakdown. Manchester Central
operates 24/7 so we need to
monitor energy 24/7.
This will lead to more sustainable
events, a more sustainable
venue and further significant
energy savings. Manchester
Central has 25 meeting spaces
and three conference and
exhibition halls of 23,000m2
.
Something as simple as leaving
lights on can be very costly to
the business. These meters
will not only save money and
energy, they will give us a much
greater understanding of the
energy resources different
events, exhibitions and
conferences require.
Russ Forshaw
Director of Facilities
Management,
Manchester Central
“As part of Ladbrokes’
commitment to the environment
we wanted to be pro-active in
our effort to reduce our carbon
footprint across our outlets.
By working with t-mac we
were able to identify that our
immediate solution was to
scrutinise the use of in-store
equipment to save energy
and carbon. We were able to
implement a control strategy
with the t-mac device and we
immediately benefited
from the energy reduction.

11. Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI)
This Government environmental programme offers financial incentives to increase
the uptake of renewable heat. By providing a long-term financial incentive (payable for
20 years) the aim of RHI is to significantly grow the proportion of heat generated from
renewable sources.
Feed-In Tariff (FiT)
The FiT scheme is designed to promote small-scale renewable and low-carbon
electricity generation technologies and is available through licensed electricity
suppliers. It requires some suppliers to make tariff payments on both generation and
export of renewable and low-carbon electricity. However, recent changes to the scheme
mean you need to act quickly to maximise the benefits.
Funding
Historically, a lack of funding has been a major barrier to getting Energy Solutions
projects started. This has led to a large number of organisations managing increased
heating and cooling requirements with old and inefficient plant.
Across the UK, estates teams are being tasked to deliver more in the face of lower
budgets and uncertain energy costs. This conflict between opportunity and investment
should no longer be the case. The majority of the Energy Solutions opportunities
Utilitywise uncover require some form of funding solution and we are confident that
there’s a solution to suit everyone.
If required, we can refer you to a variety of potential funding solutions to support your
Energy Solutions journey. Certain government incentives provide subsidies for renewal
technologies, which can strengthen your case internally for Energy Solutions projects.
