Energy Auditing

Technik are experienced at designing, controlling and optimising the built environment. We understand the difficulties associated with minimising our energy and carbon footprints in the ongoing pursuit of a more comfortable built environment. With our experience in new technology implementation, engineering design, and built environment auditing, we believe we have the foundations to provide impact Energy Audits for a variety of built environments.

Our personnel have operated within the energy optimisation sector of the built environment for over a decade.

We focus on collecting live site data to identify energy optimisation initiatives and utilising empirical data to support theoretical calculations. We are data agnostic and will collect any and all relevant data from site in our pursuit to identify energy optimisation initiatives, and more importantly, validate these initiatives once enacted.

We have a broad skill set that builds upwards from on-site asset specification and installation, through to systems infrastructure design and BMS programming, and on onwards to high level reporting for schemes such as ESOS and SECR. This experience allows us to identify more feasible energy initiatives from the start, with less time spent pursuing non-viable initiatives.

Technik Energy Audit - Typical Scope & Boundaries:

With our experience in new technology implementation, engineering design, and built environment auditing, we believe we have the foundations to provide impact Energy Audits for a variety of built environments.

All landlord energy consumers and generators on site in line with ISO 50002:2014 auditing standards.

  • Large landlord systems (e.g. chillers, boilers, DHW) for potential decarbonisation. Review will include projected asset capacities, schematic connection locations, physical asset locations, and general pragmatic commentary.

  • Ventilation review in line with CIBSE Air Conditioning Inspection (/TM44) assessment standards.

  • Hydraulic review of pump duties against genuine asset and field flow requirements, resulting in pumping energy reductions and reduced LCCS expenditure on oversized pumps.

  • Identify available internal or external plant space for new Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) or other low carbon alternative.

  • Identify suitability of existing installed heating distribution to be served by ASHP systems or other low carbon alternative.

  • Consider existing site metering for potential additions that would allow for cost-effective improved energy management.

  • Experienced based commentary of suitability of AMR system and potential improvements with respect to managing agents’ requirements to be provided.

  • Look at site BMS and EMS data for current and (trend dependent) historical operating issues. Initiatives identified will range from minor issues (e.g. sensor/data failures) through to large issues (e.g. heating/cooling conflicts, unnecessary asset operation).

  • Revisit historical energy consumption and carbon generation to develop site specific NCZ roadmap to recognised standards.
