Energy Audits & Heat Decarbonisation Plans

With the growing focus on sustainability and the global drive to tackle climate change, reducing carbon footprints and greenhouse gas emissions has become a top priority for businesses. Energy audits are essential in this effort, providing a systematic assessment and evaluation of energy use and efficiency in a building, facility, or process. By analysing energy consumption patterns we can help you identify areas of energy waste and recommend measures to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs.

At TEEAM, we offer comprehensive energy audits alongside condition surveys, and heat decarbonisation plans that help businesses improve their environmental sustainability while boosting efficiency and reducing operational costs. We work with clients across the public sector, residential, commercial, and industrial settings, delivering customised solutions to achieve sustainability targets effectively.

Our Core Services Include:

• Energy Audits
• Heat Decarbonisation Plans
• Condition Surveys

“TEEAM supported Windsor Academy Trust to secure funding from the Low Carbon Skills Fund in order to undertake energy audits and decarbonisation plans across our estate. This work led to a £2m capital works programme across the organisation helping us become one the most sustainable trusts in the UK.” – Windsor Academy Trust

What is an Energy Audit?

An energy audit is a comprehensive assessment of a building’s energy usage and efficiency. It involves a thorough examination of the building’s energy systems, including heating, cooling, lighting, and electrical systems, to identify areas of energy inefficiency and opportunities for improvement. The goal of an energy audit is to provide a detailed understanding of a building’s energy consumption and to identify energy-saving measures that can help reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.

By pinpointing where energy is being wasted, an energy audit can recommend practical steps to enhance energy efficiency and lower overall energy usage through a heat decarbonisation plan.

Condition Surveys

A condition survey is essential for supporting energy audits and developing heat decarbonisation plans by assessing the physical state of a building’s structure and systems, such as insulation and heating equipment. It identifies issues like wear or inefficiencies, ensuring that proposed energy-saving measures, such as low-carbon heating upgrades, are feasible and effective.

When integrated with energy audits, condition surveys offer a comprehensive understanding of the building’s energy use and infrastructure, forming a solid foundation for tailored decarbonisation plans that enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

How Audits Can Reveal Energy-Saving Opportunities

Energy audits are essential for identifying opportunities to improve energy efficiency in buildings or businesses. These audits reveal a broad range of opportunities, including operational changes through to the deployment of renewable energy systems such as solar panels, which provide sustainable solutions, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and lower operational costs.

Another key measure is installing advanced energy management systems, which allow real-time monitoring and control of energy use, optimising consumption, and reducing waste. Upgrading to energy-efficient LED lighting and optimising HVAC systems further boosts efficiency, reduces electricity and gas consumption, and improves indoor comfort.

At TEEAM, we offer tailored energy audits to help businesses implement these energy-saving solutions, ensuring reduced costs and meeting sustainability goals with a customised approach.

Heat Decarbonisation Plans: Guiding Your Business Toward Energy-Saving Solutions

Heat decarbonisation plans (HDPs) are strategic reports that guide the transition to low-carbon heating systems, helping businesses reduce their carbon footprint and improve energy efficiency.

Following an energy audit, which provides a comprehensive analysis of a building’s energy consumption and identifies inefficiencies, a tailored heat decarbonisation plan can be developed.

By integrating insights from both the energy audit and a condition survey, which evaluates the physical state of a building’s insulation, windows, and heating systems, the heat decarbonisation plan ensures that proposed changes are not only effective but also sustainable in the long term.

HDPs play a crucial role in helping businesses lower operational costs, meet sustainability targets, and comply with environmental regulations.

TEEAM’s Energy Audits & Heat Decarbonisation Plans 

At TEEAM, we take the insights gathered from your energy audit and condition surveys to develop tailored heat decarbonisation plans that address your business’s unique needs. By analysing the data provided by the energy audit, we can create a targeted decarbonisation strategy – highlighting areas for improvement, whether it’s enhancing insulation, integrating renewable energy solutions, or deploying decarbonised heating systems such as heat pumps.

Our heat decarbonisation plans are designed with actionable steps to help your business transition to low-carbon heating systems, boost thermal efficiency, and reduce overall energy usage. We ensure that every recommendation aligns with your specific business objectives, supporting your transition to a greener future while maximising energy savings.
