DECC pledges extensive support for business energy efficiency in new policy

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has pledged extensive support for business energy efficiency within its new plan from 2015 to 2020.

Within their 5-year plan, the DECC argues that, although the energy intensity of the UK economy has fallen by 24% since 2004, there remains significant untapped potential for energy saving in the business sector and that realising this potential will improve businesses’ productivity and will also support growth.

The government argues that it has been actively considering where and how to support small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), building on the successful SME Guide to Energy Efficiency and are currently how further support can be provided to SMEs on energy efficiency.

Moreover, since the public sector is also a major energy consumer, spending around £4bn each year, the government will also invest a further £295m in public sector energy efficiency over 5 years to cut energy costs, save carbon and free up resources for other priorities.

HeatingSave – the perfect Building Energy Management System for cutting emissions in new and existing buildings

If you’re quite worried about future developments in terms of energy management and costs, and you plan to implement an energy costs reduction plan for your business, the best place to start is HeatingSave, since our solution will allow you to actually save between 20 and 30+ percent from your monthly energy bills.

HeatingSave grants energy managers an extensive level of control over the building’s heating patterns, meaning that heating will not be on during weekends or holidays unless the building is actually in use. The system also enables automatic occupancy detection allowing the temperature to be reduced to a background when areas are not used and quickly brought up to temperature when they are being used.

It’s also very important to mention that HeatingSave can take an automatic decision on whether to use electricity or gas for heating during summer, and also enables users to set a night setback temperature, reducing the night heating by a few degrees to still keep 24/7 operations warm whilst saving energy and money.
