Warning
on new energy directive
|
|
|
The EU Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings
comes into force on 6 April 2006, requiring owners and operators of
commercial properties to take measures to improve energy efficiency.
Much of the detail of how this will affect property
owners and operators is still being worked out by the government, but it
is apparent that there will be a mandatory inspection and certification
process.
The timescale for compliance is also unknown at this
stage, but, according to the Directive Implementation Advice Group (DIAG)
some businesses have been approached by unscrupulous companies offering
building energy rating services with the implication that there is an
urgency to seek compliance before April 06.
If you are approached in this manner, please note that
there is no legal requirement to have any building energy rated prior to
6 April 06. Furthermore, because the government has not yet approved the
methodologies for the assessment process, any certificate issued prior to
6 April is unlikely to have any legal validity and buildings will
probably have to be reassessed using the nationally adopted method.

Utility Auditing is helping businesses to damp down
rising water costs which will go up by an average 11.8 % during 2005/6.
According to the water regulator OFWAT, companies will
also face further increases of around 9 % (before inflation) between 2006
and 2010.
The good news is that there is scope for some companies
to cut their water costs through eliminating areas of waste and excessive
consumption. Utility Auditing can advise on total water
management and leak detection, as well as ensuring that users optimise
efficiency by having the right meter size.
“We can also help organisations to identify any anomalies
in their water liability – helping to recover any overcharges dating back
over a six year period”, said Paul Backx, managing director of Utility
Auditing. “This can amount to several thousands of pounds.”

 At last, businesses have more choice on
water thanks to the government’s decision to lower the usage threshold
for customers in England
and Wales
wishing to change their water supplier.
From Autumn 2005, more companies will have the option to
purchase water from an alternative water supply licensee. Savings could
finally be made by transferring supplier, as with electricity and gas.

UAL
opens file on energy savings
|

Utility Auditing has helped filing cabinet
manufacturer Railex Systems Ltd to make more than £20,000 savings on its
energy bill.
The company, which has been making bespoke metal filing
systems and files at its Southport
factory for 94 years, was facing a massive increase on its gas and
electricity contract renewal.
But our analysts negotiated a better deal with the
company to cut its bill by a whopping £20,957.
“Energy costs are rising so fast that it is impossible to
budget for them. We didn’t know where to start in testing out the market
to find a more competitive supplier”, said David Waddington, technical
manager for Railex. It was excellent to have access to the expert
services of Utility Auditing Ltd, who took the problem out of our hands
and identified impressive cost savings on both our gas and electricity.”
