Commercial Energy Efficiency Installations

Insulation is one of the cheapest and single most cost effective methods of reducing energy bills and keeping your commercial building or property warmer. Ideally all elements of your building should be insulated to a high standard which includes the walls, floors and ceilings or lofts and basements and any other area where heat can escape from the building.

There are various construction types for walls, floors and ceilings of commercial buildings which all require different types of insulation, it is therefore best to get in touch with us if you would like to discuss which insulation is suitable for your property.

Our team of commercial insulation surveyors can check if your property would benefit from more insulation.

If you are planning an extension or refurbishment works to your office building or commercial property, this may be the ideal time to consider installing a renewable energy system such as Solar Panels, Solar Hot Water or an Air Source, Ground Source or Water Source Heat Pump.

Your current commercial heating system may be old and in-efficient or it may need a more powerful boiler, whereby you could consider installing a stand-alone system that doesn’t affect the existing system, and the new system is powered from a renewable energy source. For example, installing underfloor heating incorporated with solar Hot Water Panels or an Air Source Heat Pump. Commercial properties with electric heating could benefit from Solar Panels that power the electric heating during day light hours.

There are various factors to consider when thinking about whether your property set up works and how best to maximise the installation.

LED lighting is the most efficient lighting on the market and can save anything up to 90% of your lighting costs. Changing your lighting system to LED’s in your office space or commercial property is quite a simple process, and is generally undertaken by a qualified Electrical Engineer. LED’s are available with various levels of brightness and colours, they range from a warm white to a cool white and can suit most light fittings.

Installing the correct type of LED in your commercial property can reduce the risk of eye strain for staff or emplyees by providing the correct level of lighting for people working long hours in Offices, Banks and Insurance companies, Council Buildings, Libraries, Nursing Homes, Factories, Workshops, Gyms and Sport centers.

Under current Building Regulations the tradespeople employed to carry-out the building works in any commercial property should incorporate LED’s or Low Energy Lighting as part of the works.
