Energy Audits and Management

Describe the outcome required as well as the immediate issue. The starting information should identify the location, people affected and any change in use, so the assessment addresses the current requirement rather than simply repeating the previous arrangement.

The brief covers data review, site assessment, significant uses and improvement options. It identifies assumptions, indicative priorities and further investigation required. Ongoing management adds action ownership, monitoring and review rather than stopping at a report.

A general energy audit is different from a statutory scheme assessment or an EPC. Define the required output and competence. Recommendations should consider operational constraints, maintenance and investment timing, with estimated benefits clearly distinguished from achieved results.

The proposal identifies the responsibilities that remain with the site or property team and the work included in our instruction. Connected repairs and specialist activities receive their own clear scope, so each person understands what they must arrange and what records they will receive.

Provide property energy records, occupancy and equipment information. Identify landlord and tenant supplies and access permissions. Agree which improvements the owner can authorise and which depend on occupiers.

We establish the scope and review data before assessing the site. Findings identify opportunities and the evidence needed to progress them. Handover assigns the next steps and the method for reviewing results after changes.

The property owner receives a clear account of the work and any follow-up required. Where premises are occupied, we agree the relevant notices, access and handback arrangements so users understand what has changed and who to contact afterwards.

Site size, data quality, survey depth and modelling affect cost. Implementation and ongoing management are separate activities. Compare the defined outputs rather than a generic promise of savings.

Agree access, occupant communication and any associated reinstatement before work starts. For a remotely managed property, identify the local contact and approval route so findings can receive a decision without losing the detail needed by the owner.

Managing agents need responsibilities and approvals connected to the correct owner. Residential blocks need communal and individual areas distinguished. Retail and hospitality need work coordinated with customers and occupiers. Our complete service and project offering supports all sectors, with scope suited to the property and the people using it.

We cover Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Tees Valley, including Berwick-upon-Tweed, Alnwick, Morpeth, Hexham, Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough. View all locations.

For several properties, provide separate access and occupancy information. A remote owner can nominate a local representative while retaining a clear route for approving the work.

No. Results depend on the actions implemented, operating conditions and tariffs.

No. ESOS has specific qualification and compliance requirements that need a defined assessment.

The scope should identify gaps and how they limit conclusions or require further data collection.

Agree access and data permissions and distinguish who can implement each recommendation.
