Energy Saving

Energy audits to identify potential savings 

Driven by both the escalating cost of fuel and concerns over the environmental impact of consuming fossil fuels, many organisations have requested and benefited from audits of their operations by TSI Scotland.  This service is sometimes available at no cost to you and you will receive a detailed report with recommendations for realistic savings.  We are accredited by the Carbon Trust through which some of these audits have been arranged.

Staff Energy-Awareness Training 

Usually, it is your staff, not you, who start and stop the boilers, compressors, lights and other energy users which generate the CO2 emissions and which cost you money.  We can train your staff in techniques and operating methods to increase awareness and reduce energy.  The cost of this can also sometimes be covered by the Carbon Trust.  This provides you and your staff with long-term benefits if these techniques become routine, particularly important as the cost of energy is likely to carry on rising.

Design and specification of plant to reduce energy 

We have years of experience of thinking through and designing plant for customers who are looking to reduce their energy use.  This means you can reduce your costs and your environmental impact at a time when energy costs are rising at an unprecedented rate and when pressure is increasing to meet more demanding emissions limits.

Project Implementation Specifications

Often you will receive advice that you have an opportunity to reduce your consumption, but it is not stated in terms that you can easily use.  We can take this advice and turn it into something which you can use to request competitive tenders from suppliers to have that advice turned into reality.  You will then benefit by saving money as you are using less energy.

Carbon Trust Accredited Audits

TSI Scotland is accredited to carry out energy audits of customer sites.  A report giving recommendations is produced and energy awareness training for staff often follows this.  Generally, the Carbon Trust will support this and will often advance loans to implement the projects and realise the savings.  We have identified annual savings for our customers of over £2m resulting in the potential to reduce carbon emissions by almost 10,000 tonnes.
