Real World Energy Solutions has the specialist knowledge and practical experience to help you make the most cost effective and best value decisions to help cut energy costs and reduce Carbon Footprints.
Operational Energy Efficiency
Real World Energy Solutions will help you understand how your building operates and assists you in making certain that it is operating at maximum efficiency.
Often a number of simple measures can be implemented at little or no cost based upon information from an Energy Management System and a bit of minor investigation.
When the building is operating at its maximum efficiency, it is time to look at energy efficiency measures that can be incorporated into the actual fabric of the building to reduce energy consumption and Carbon Emissions.
Improving Energy Efficiency of Buildings
Our specialist energy efficiency teams help you to identify those areas of existing buildings that could be made more energy efficient.
As Real World Energy Solutions is part of a construction group that spends in excess of £100,000,000 on the procurement of goods and services in the construction industry, we have considerable buying power.
When our procurement capability is combined with our multi-disciplined energy efficiency implementation teams we have the unique ability to make best value improvements to your building.
These efficiency measures are specifically designed to improve the Energy Performance Rating of the building, focussed on reducing your operational costs and improving your environmental credentials.
We will typically focus on the following but solutions will vary from site to site:-
Building Insulation
Improvements to the insulating capacity of Windows and Doors
Heating Controls
The Maintenance, servicing and certification of the Heating and Ventilation system (HVAC)
Passive ventilation Improvements
Thermal shading
Installation of energy Efficient Lighting
The Installation of an energy management system
Feasibility studies for the installation of renewable energy solutions.
These improvements can be done on a piecemeal basis at a time and a budget to suit you and your business.
Building Refurbishment
Any alteration whether minor improvements or large scale refurbishment offer opportunities to reduce operational carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency.
In most case it will be by improving the thermal performance of the building envelope and reducing energy use for lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation and equipment.
It could also include fuel switching (e.g. from electric or oil based heating to gas heating) and on-site energy micro power generation.(see renewable energy solutions)
There may also be opportunities for passive measures such as day lighting, shading and natural ventilation, depending on how radical a refurbishment is planned.
The larger the scope and scale of the refurbishment works, the greater the ability to increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions from the building and the lower the incremental cost of doing so.
Refurbishment is not always the easy option as you are constrained by the existing building, however, Real World Energy Solutions is part of a large construction group and we specialise in energy efficient large scale refurbishments and have many years of experience in improving buildings (see one of our latest projects - the refurbishment of The Jackson Civil Engineering Head office).
