High energy prices and evolving legislation (e.g. the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), introduced by the Energy Efficiency Regulations 2015; part of the UK Energy Act), combined with a desire to reduce CO2 emissions, have seen increasing investment in green energy initiatives.
With around 40% of all the energy we consume coming from buildings(1), there is a major opportunity to cut both emissions and costs by installing energy saving technologies.
As property owners and occupiers face significant energy cost and pressure to ensure their buildings' energy efficiency, there is an opportunity to cut both emissions and costs by installing energy saving initiatives; such as LED lighting, thermal window films and more-efficient boilers in commercial properties.
