We can do a Professional Energy Audit for any business, anywhere in Australia

What is a Professional Energy Audit?

For an explanation of the amazing benefits, see the recently published business article:
The mysterious “Energy Audit” revealed

We have used our considerable energy auditing experiences over the last 15-years to develop special energy audit software and energy audit forms that now allow us to highly streamline our energy auditing processes. The benefits of the improvements are now passed on to you the customer in the form of lower fees.

NSW Government Grants

The recently instituted, NSW Green Business Program will provide $30 million between 2007 – 2012 for some energy saving projects in business operations.

See: www.environment.nsw.gov.au/grants/ccfgbp.htm.

Activities which may be eligible for funding under the Green Business Program include, but are not limited to:

  • education and technology trial activities which increase the adoption of efficient technologies and practices
  • projects which improve the efficiency of buildings, appliances and industrial processes
  • projects which reduce peak electricity demand
  • projects which reduce the demand for electricity or water supplied from electricity or water supply networks – eg. cogeneration, fuel switching, water recycling, stormwater harvesting.

Grant monies may help pay for the actual implementation of energy saving measures in this Energy Audit report

What information will a professional Energy Audit give you?

You will get a professional, colour-illustrated Energy Auditing report of up to 80-pages (written in non-technical language) that complies with the stringent requirements of National Standard AS/NZ 3598. This report will show you how to economically lower the energy bills (and greenhouse gas emissions) for your whole site.

Professional Energy Audits - Business Your Energy Audit Report will answer the following important questions to assist you in minimizing your recurring energy expenses:

Environmental Achievements Certificate

Awarded to:   ABC Building Products


For commissioning an independent Energy Audit at their Kindle Town facility which indicated how to achieve a reduction of up to 100,000 kg of greenhouse gases from our atmosphere annually, thereby helping to slow-down Climate Change through Global Warming. Additionally, the Energy Audit indicated how to achieve a reduction of up to 25% on energy bills.

ABC Building Products have therefore shown business and environmental leadership and have taken a substantial step to towards operating as a Carbon Neutral business.

We will also prepare for you PRESS release that would be printed free-of-charge by most local newspapers.  An example of such an article is:


Basic Energy Audits - BusinessArticle title:  ABC Building Products helps to clear the air

John Smithey the spokesman for ABC Building Products is pleased to announce that they have just completed an Energy Audit of their large factory premises at Kindle Town.  The audit report shows how to improve our environment by helping to slow-down the onset of Global-warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.    Erwin Tischler, the C.E.O. of RE Developments Company in Sydney, an Energy Efficiency Consultant who conducted the Energy Audit, congratulates the management of ABC Building Products on their mindful initiative and says “The Energy Audit has identified significant energy saving opportunities that will substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will slash their total energy bills by up to  25% per annum. The very latest in best practice energy efficiency ideas have been proposed for implementation at the facility, and when installed, will show a 50% per annum return on investment through energy savings achieved.  Some of the major items targeted being lighting, air conditioning, water/process heating and production processes.  When all of these energy saving opportunities are implemented at the facility, the greenhouse gas emissions from local power stations will be reduced by the enormous figure of up to 100,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide per annum.  ABC Building Products have therefore shown business leadership by taking one giant step to towards operating as a Carbon Neutral business”.

Such an article would give invaluable, free exposure to potential NEW clients who are environmentally aware.  These types of clients often become very loyal customers.

Itemised details:

The Energy Audit report will show you a complete break-up of details for each energy saving recommendation that we find, see example below which is an actual extract from a recent Report.  It shows one of 12 different energy saving measures that were identified by the Energy Audit:

ITEM 8 - Lighting – Voltage control system – Storage/Warehouse Areas

When riding a push-bike you need of lot of pedal-power (energy) to get going, but once  you are up to speed you  can relax a little, i.e.  you  use less energy to stay at  the your speed. Fluorescent lighting is similar, it needs full voltage to switch ON, but after this the energy applied can be reduced, this results in a reduction in lighting energy consumption of up to 25%.

The fluorescent lighting in the relevant areas can be controlled with autotransformer control to achieve up to 25% lighting energy savings. 

One type of control that may be suitable is XYZ brand as shown (see www.XYZ.com.au ).

Ø  Energy cost savings up to:                  $4,400 per annum.

Ø  Estimated installed cost of equipment:   $9,800

Ø  Simple rate of return on investment:        45% per annum
