OUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Energy

Resource Efficiency

Compliance

Building Services

Expert witness

We have carried out extensive audits on industrial efficiency and apply techniques of process optimisation to reduce industrial energy burdens.

We have an ESOS Lead Assessor and have worked with a number of large businesses on their ESOS accreditation where we have helped them achieve accreditation in an economically efficient way.

Our reports usually recommend and specify the adoption of low-carbon additional energy sources to displace less efficient energy sources but we try to avoid this step for subsidy reasons alone. The solution should be viable on a long-term basis. Our solutions will more often than not be a combination of energy sources as, sadly there is no silver bullet and some fossil-based energy may need to be retained (at least in the sort-term), to provide rapid energy response. We prepare Sustainability reports on behalf of a number of large industrial clients.

We also specialise in Health & Safety compliant operating procedures in biomass plants in particular. We have acted as expert witnesses in incidents involving large biomass boilers.

We currently advise Northern Ireland Water on their energy reduction programme and have extensive knowledge of the water utility sector through direct experience.
