Have you looked at ways to cut your consumption?

Reducing your consumption is the only way to cut down your energy costs regardless of market conditions.

The only way to bring down your energy costs regardless of market conditions is to reduce your consumption; the cheapest unit of energy is the one you don’t use.  

Whether you have just begun optimising your energy consumption or are already on your way to implement solutions, now is the perfect time to revise how you could further bolster your plans. 

Let’s look at some ways you can reduce your energy consumption – regardless of your organisation’s size or sector. 

Take the first step with an energy site audit

Sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start. You may need a clearer picture of how your sites are operating and where you could be making the most cost-effective improvements.   

Our experienced engineers can visit a site in person to assess current usage and discuss any challenges, goals and priorities regarding improving your energy efficiency. 

Following an energy site audit, our team produces and present a report containing recommendations on carbon reduction, return on investment, or a preferred metric particular to your organisation. 

How is your metering solution?

Your metering plays a crucial role in reducing your consumption: You can’t change what you don’t measure.  

This means your metering solution must deliver accurate, accessible and timely data to create a comprehensive image of your consumption across your portfolio.  

What’s more, you can clarify this image even further with tools such as profile alerts  and building controls. 

Do you need support in getting your metering up to scratch? Inspired offers a full suite of metering services across electricity, gas, and water supplies, covering both Half-Hourly (HH) and Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) solutions nationwide.  

Whether you need new installations, upgrades, relocations or removals, our team will work with you to ensure a smooth process from start to finish.   

What is your energy software like?

All your consumption data should be turned into actionable insights. An online platform can help you visualise your energy usage so you can compare sites and pinpoint any unusual consumption or wastage.  

Once you know what you want to achieve in order to optimise your sites, you need internal buy-in. This means demonstrating your case and the impact of your efficiency actions – making a business case to the Board or securing stakeholder support.     

Inspired’s software platform allows you to share your message wider by transforming complex data into compelling and accessible outputs, including:  

  • KPI-focused dashboards.  
  • Trend reports and benchmarking insights.  
  • Data that informs regulatory-compliant reports and submissions.
