Energenze Optimisation Q & A Name * First Name Last Name Email * Energy Optimisation What is the split of gas and electricity consumption? Can you share a 4-5 of your gas invoices from the past 12 months? Do you have a Building Management System (BMS) or another energy monitoring system? Can you share a BMS energy focused data set download? Does your building have agreed environmental controls for common areas? If so what are they? (e.g. temperature, humidity, lighting levels) Do you know what proportion of your electricity is consumed by the building’s • Heating; • Cooling; • Lighting; • Refrigeration; • Building infrastructure (e.g. garden irrigation etc) • EV if they are on site. How old, and what capacity is the building’s • General energy infrastructure (transformers, switchboards etc.). • HVAC. • Is the HVAC ducted or split system? • Lighting. • Are LED bulbs used? • Are outside lights part solar powered? • What wattage bulbs are used in common areas? • Refrigeration. • Does the building have a cool room, or a series of fridges in common areas? • EV. Energy Generation What is your plan to transition away from gas water heating – noting the higher proportion (3:1) of gas required to heat an equivalent amount of water. With the rise of climate change and its impact on impending Summers to come across the UK- what is the future for HVAC and cooling infrastructure/systems at your strata or area of business? And how will it be supported in terms of increased energy consumption? Do you have solar, or other installed behind the meter sources of energy generation or storage to lower the cost of pooled energy usage? If yes- what size solar and battery does the building host? • Has the building considered being part of a Virtual Power Plant? Will you consider a scaled bio-digester for the building? Is the building planning to install EV charging in the near future? If so – how many charge points? Version 1 of the UKGBC’s Net Zero Carbon Building Standard is due to be published in late 2025. The UKGBC Green building standards focus on energy efficiency and conservative use of energy resources. Are you aware of your energy usage intensity and the relative cost/SQM of the energy consumed for your building? General How old is your building? (estimate is fine). What is the estimated surface area of the common areas, or general floor plan? How many floors are there? Are window’s double glazed? Does your building have a significant garden footprint? (SQM?) Do you have an irrigation system for the garden or indoor plants? What is your water usage? Can you provide 4-5 of the past year’s invoices? Do you know the surface area of your roofspace? Thank you!
