ENERGY AUDITING
inspect, survey and analyse your building’s energy use to improve and optimise its energy conservation.
How does your property compare to energy and water benchmarks for similar buildings?
Measuring is the first step to improve, therefore water & energy auditing are critical to trace a continuous improvement route for energy & water efficiency. Our energy and water consultants will perform regular inspections coupled with analysis of your sites’ historical performance, to track and help you make informed decisions about your building energy and water performance.
What do you get?
HFM will:
- Recommend to you with different actions or scenarios to be undertaken
- Develop a comprehensive budget
- Calculate your return on investment (ROI) expected
This means you’ll be able to make rational decisions about how to allocate your resources to achieve the best value for energy savings.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN
Your building needs a strategic plan to achieve energy efficiency
We will guide your company, site or portfolio on how to improve energy efficiency.
At HFM, we develop customised Energy Management Roadmaps that articulate the required measures to reduce energy consumption and achieve formal targets (such as NABERS Star Rating, Greenstar Performance, etc).
Each of our Energy Management Plan (EMP) is a systematic and evolving plan which is progressively updated and permanently improving as energy reduction measures and efficiency improvements are implemented and new ones developed.
We work closely with our clients and meet regularly with all stakeholders to review the progress, milestones achieved and drive the implementation of each recommendation in our report.
Our improvement recommendations are based on expert knowledge, thorough site investigation and analysis conducted by our engineers and consultants, usually during an initial Energy Audit or inspection.
UTILITIES MONITORING SOFTWARE
How does this relate to energy or water procurement?
