A recent study in the US found that companies which implemented EnMS compliant with ISO50001 as part of the US Department of Energy Superior Energy Performance programme, delivered average savings of 10% within 18 months with a 2 year payback for companies spending >€1.5m on energy annually. 75% of the savings delivered were low cost measures requiring no capital investment.

Zero Carbon have assisted organisations in Ireland, China, Turkey, Ukraine, Egypt, Uzbekistan, Morocco and Pakistan to implement ISO50001 compliant EnMS.

We would be happy to help you implement a structured Energy Management System in your organisation in order to save money, improve corporate social responsibility, and meet the requirements of SI426

- Determine the energy performance of a facility or item of plant

- Identify and Quantify the Principal Energy flows

This may examine boiler plant. heating/cooling systems, ventilation, building fabric, lighting, electricity use and energy management systems. The audit will produce no cost, low cost and high cost recommendations with payback calculations.

To date Zero Carbon have carried out over 200 audits on behalf of a wide range of commercial, industrial and public sector organisations. We employ a 'System Optimisation' approach to optimise the solution for the entire energy system as opposed to focusing on individuals within the system.

Energy Audits can be carried out to ensure compliance with the legislative requirements in SI426 as our Energy Auditors are registered with SEAI.

For ISO50001 compliance, companies must verify the Continuous Improvement of their Energy Performance. This can be complicated, and may, on occasion, required specific M&V skills.

Energy Efficiency projects should always be analysed post implementation to confirm that they have successfully achieved the savings they were designed to achieve. Again, this may require particular M&V analytical skills.

M&V is particularly important for Energy Performance Contract where payments to the contractor depend on the savings generated by the project. This often requires specialist M&V skills.

Zero Carbon are qualified to track energy savings according to the International Performance Measurement & Verification Protocol.

Zero Carbon has been employed on 5 EXEED projects to date. We can help your business design better buildings and processes that use 'outside the box' thinking to drive energy and capital savings, improve corporate social responsibility and avail of SEAI grant funding.

 Zero Carbon has carried out Project Design and Project Management for many clients over the past 10 years including projects involving:

Zero Carbon has also been successful in applications for SEAI grants totalling over €2million.
