Introduction to the
Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)
May 2013
Regulated by RICS

2. Article 8 of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive, EU
member states must introduce independent and
cost-effective energy audits for all 'large
enterprises”
The ‘Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme’ (ESOS) is
the Government’s proposed approach to
implementing this requirement.
What is ESOS

3. ESOS Applies to businesses and other UK
organisations outside of the public sector, such as
charities with
50 employees or more
annual turnover exceeding €50 million
or annual balance sheet total exceeding €43 million.
What is ESOS

4. UK Government currently reviewing consultation
responses
Current situation

5. ESOS energy audits must be undertaken by 5
December 2015, and then at least every four
years from the date of the previous audit
Requirement

6. The minimum criteria for energy audits are:
Audit is based on up to date, measured, traceable
operational energy data & electricity load profiles
Detailed review of energy consumption, including
for transport
Build in life-cycle cost assessment instead of
simple payback
Profile energy performance
Provide validated calculations for proposed
energy savings measures
Energy use data is retained and used for future
tracking

Audit is based on up to date, measured, traceable

simple payback
Profile energy performance

12. Proposed alternatives routes to compliance
ISO 50001 energy management certification
ISO 14001 environmental management certification
(if an energy audit has been part of this)
These management systems must cover the entire
UK organisation or a ESOS audit must be undertaken
for the remainder of the business.
Alternatives

13. The Government intends to sponsor the development
of a Publicly Available Specification (PAS) by the BSI
This will set out the level of competence required to
conduct ESOS assessments.
