Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) is a performance-based procurement method and financial mechanism whereby the savings made on utility bills by installing more sustainable and energy efficient building systems pay for the cost of the project.
There are many benefits to Energy Performance Contracting including;
Green energy also referred to as renewable or sustainable energy are energy provisions that have no long term impact on the environment and are replenished by nature. They meet the energy requirements of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Unlike the use of fossil fuels which cannot be renewed and emit high levels of CO2 into the earth’s atmosphere, green energy generators such as hydroelectricity, solar energy in the form of PV and solar panels, tidal power, and biomass do not contribute to greenhouse gases and can therefore lower the carbon footprint.
Reducing the carbon footprint is now a major strategy in government and any commercial and residential developments must now adhere to current sustainable energy legislation’s. Many more regulations are being planned over the forthcoming years with the objective being that by 2020 all new buildings will be zero carbon and carbon emissions reduced by 34%.
Syntegra Consulting has successfully undertaken the Air Conditioning Inspection of Getty Images building in Camden town, London. Syntegra undertook the ACI inspection of the old Getty Images building which is an air conditioned office building in order to lease it to a new tenant. The ACI report together with the EPC were required as part of the legal documentation for the lease of the building.
Renewable energy is a massive opportunity for all businesses right now. Why? Well for one, it can help organisations to cut energy costs at a time when cost cutting is most definitely high on the agenda. But equally importantly, it offers a chance for companies to demonstrate their commitment to the environment – the kind of commitment which, increasingly, stakeholders everywhere are looking to see.
