Green IT Audit
We can analyse your environment, and develop plans to ensure that you will receive the benefits of being “Green”. We will advise you on your Green IT strategy, which adds value, as it reduces your CO2 emissions, energy usage, and will save you money.
Green your business strategy
Contrary to the popular misconception that going green is expensive, in a very large range of cases, environmental initiatives don't raise costs, they lower them — and fast. In operational areas such as facilities (heating, cooling, lighting), fleet, IT, and waste, leading companies continue to find large savings in shockingly simple actions, such as changing lighting or using outside air to cool a data center.
Office refurbishment & fit-out - Ska-Rating
The environmental assessment tool for sustainable fit outs.
The Ska Rating system helps organizations achieve more sustainable fit-outs through implementing best practice recommendations.
Waste Management
You are responsible for ensuring that your waste is properly controlled and that it is not illegally disposed of. You must be certain that it is transferred only to an authorised person as defined under The Environment Protection Act.
The development of environmental legislation is continually imposing tighter constraints on businesses in order to reduce the impact of their wastes on the environment.
Call us now for advice you on your waste management policy.

Top energy saving tips for businesses
Switch lights off in empty rooms
You could cut your lighting costs by as much as 15%, just by making sure you turn lights off in rooms and corridors that aren’t being used
Don’t turn up the heating unless you really need to
Unless it’s just too cold for comfort, try to keep your thermostat at 19°C. Your heating costs will go up by 8% each time you increase the temperature by just one degree
Maintain your equipment properly
If you don’t regularly check your heating equipment, you could be adding as much as 10% to your heating bill without knowing it
Standby
A single computer and monitor left on 24 hours a day will cost over £50 a year. Switching them off out of hours and enabling standby features could reduce this to £15 a year each and prolong the lifespan of equipment
Lighten up
Replacing high wattage filament lamps or tungsten halogen lamps with compact fluorescent lamps or metal halide lamps will give energy savings of 65-75%
Vending machines v kettles
It is cheaper to provide a kettle for staff who work outside normal business hours than to continue to run a drinks vending machine during these times
Find and fix compressed air leaks
Compressed air leaking through a single 3mm hole could cost you nearly £700 per year in energy costs
Motors and drives
Swapping a single 10kW motor running at 25% loading for a 2.5kW motor running at full load can save around £300/year
Leaving electric motors running over weekends across the year could cost over £2,000 per motor
Lowering the speed of a motor by just 20% can produce an energy saving of up to 50%.
