Improving Office Energy EfficiencyEnergy Management for Buildings and Offices

Kick out waste and start saving

Is your office space wasting money from inefficient energy use? How would you even go about discovering where your money is being wasted?

Unless you've undertaken a targeted approach to energy management, your building or office is not minimising energy use and operating costs. Your financial bottom line is being impacted by bloated power bills. Thankfully, there is a better way.

At ITA, we're in the energy saving business. When we start the process of finding energy savings for businesses, we always analyse the situation before we take action. Every space is different, so our Energy Audit approach ensures that your investment in energy efficiency returns maximum savings.

Not only will an Energy Audit improve energy efficiency and reduce costs, it could make your building more attractive to quality tenants, or help build a business case for a current government grant.

Energy challenges for Buildings and Offices

The modern office is no longer restricted to the 9 til 5 routine. Staff are working irregular and flexible hours, including weekends, which means that office occupancy hours are now longer than ever. This can have a huge impact on office energy management.

With so many staff within a constantly evolving space, the potential for energy misuse and inefficiency is high, especially with inappropriate use of lighting, heating and cooling.

In our experience, most office managers and financial controllers do not realise the extent of energy wastage, and energy investment is limited to single technology solutions not tailored to their real energy use profile. At ITA, we can help businesses

Energy saving solutions

There are a number of ways office buildings can improve energy efficiency and reduce waste. The exact combination and extent of measures will differ from business to business but, broadly, the methods for office energy management include:

• Automation – Automating start up and shut down procedures for climate control and lighting
• Monitoring – Discovering areas of waste, such as poor thermal sealing
• Modern lighting – Installing efficient lighting and optimising or adjusting illumination levels
• Behavioural changes – Creating an office culture where staff actively reduce energy waste

How can these solutions be implemented?

ITA is an accredited Energy Management Partner.

We will help you make sound energy investment decisions and investigate government rebates, when available.

Our energy saving strategy involves 3 steps:

Analysis and Audit
We analyse energy patterns to detect and identify areas to improve efficiency. Our Energy Audit is recognised by Standards Australia, and is critical in determining the most effective efficiency investments.

Implement Solutions
The ITA team will then design and implement your tailored energy solution.

Monitor and Improve
Changing needs, floor plans and technology will change energy patterns. The team at ITA will support your business as it changes, to achieve long term cost reductions.

We also assess what government grants and incentives may be available to help your office building finance an energy efficient investment. The Energy Audit helps collate data about your energy use, and can be used to create a case for your business to receive grants and incentives as soon as they become available.

So, not only will corporate energy saving measures reduce expenditure, they may well increase income as well.
