NSW and Victorian Government Energy Savers Schemes

Energy Conservation is an Accredited Certificate Provider (ACP) for the NSW Energy Savings Scheme (creating ESCs) and Victorian Energy Upgrades program (creating VEECs), providing funding and grant opportunities for reducing and participating in energy saving activities.

 

Energy Assessments /Energy Audits

Energy Conservation delivers energy audits for all types of building and site to Levels 1 to 3 Australia New Zealand Standard 2014:3598.  

A full audit identifies the best solutions for more complex situations and technologies.  We can also deliver you a streamlined energy assessment focused on particular areas of your site or business with the best potential to save energy and money.  Steps in an audit or assessment include:

  • Initial on-site discussions with key stakeholders to identify issues and priorities

  • Assessment of electricity bills, retail and network tariffs and analysis of meter data

  • Site inspection to assess key energy using plant & equipment

  • Where appropriate, sub-metering of equipment, and/or thermal imaging to determine temperatures and insulation properties

  • Establishment of energy use by equipment types

  • Identification of potential Energy Conservation Measures (ECM)

  • Further discussion with stakeholders to select most suitable ECM for investigation

  • Presentation of outcomes to stakeholders and delivery of assessment/audit report

  • Preparation of a suitable implementation strategy

Our presentation and report will summarise the most promising energy-saving actions, with information on potential cost savings, the capital cost of implementing actions and the return on investment. This provides you with the basis for a sound plan to implement actions and take control of your energy costs.
