AUDITING YOUR ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Energy audits allow companies to achieve significant cost savings on their electricity consumption. At the completion of the audit, the company is given a list of recommendations, detailing the best way for the company to reduce its electricity expenses. The report also includes the implementation cost of these efficiency recommendations and how long it will take for the company to reap the financial benefits of these cost-saving measures. A detailed energy audit can help a company save up to 30% on its current electricity bill.

AN ACTION PLAN TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION

A business-case energy audit is the first step on the road to reducing carbon emissions as it provides the basis for a detailed electricity/emissions reduction strategy. GCX works with the client to formulate a reduction strategy that is tailored to their specific needs.

The reduction plan is broken down into the following structures:
•    Budgets
•    Media and communication
•    Reduction targets
•    Reduction timeframe
•    Reporting and monitoring.

GCX will work with its client and their team in order to ensure that all these goals are realised.

USING EDUCATION TO CREATE CLIMATE-CHANGE AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT AWARENESS

Since incorrect staff conduct can cause up to 15% of a company’s total emissions, many of GCX’s clients experienced immediate results after embarking on a carbon and energy awareness campaign in their organisations. GCX offers a comprehensive education programme, focusing on carbon and energy education, with its materials suited to all staff levels, from office workers to labourers.

These materials include:

•    Interactive, internet-based presentations
•    Pocketbooks for staff
•    Lunchtime workshops
•    Monthly story boards/comics
•    Brochures and poster series
•    Signs for your facilities/offices
•    Competitions
•    Case studies

GCX also offers certified carbon footprint analyst and energy efficiency auditor courses so that you can train an in-house staff member to assist and monitor your reduction strategy.
