Risk and regulation Carbon Reduction Commitment
The CRC is a mandatory scheme aimed at improving energy
efficiency and cutting emissions in large public and private
sector organisations. These organisations are responsible for
around 10% of the UK’s emissions. If you spend more than
£500k a year on energy and utilities, you are legally obliged to
register as a participant in the scheme.
The scheme features an annual performance league table that
ranks participants on energy efficiency performance. A cap and
trade scheme is coming into force in 2014, which will allow the
trading of carbon allowances. These features encourage
organisations to develop energy management strategies that
promote a better understanding of energy usage.
Organisations are eligible for CRC if they have at least one halfhourly
electricity meter settled on the half-hourly market.
Organisations that consumed more than 6,000 megawatthours
per year of half hourly metered electricity during 2008,
qualify for full participation.
Our services
We use Automated Meter Reading (AMR) technology to collect
consumption data from utility meters. This data is then
transferred to a central database for consumption analysis,
energy management and troubleshooting. The best part of
such an approach is that it does away with the expense and
inaccuracy of estimated reads. Readings are taken from each
meter every half an hour. The data is used to analyse, identify
and illustrate consumption patterns. Making decisions using
this data can help to reduce consumption, considerably.
We have developed an Automated Monitoring and Targeting
(aM&T) application. This advanced, user-friendly, web-based
utility reporting system personalises, manages and
manipulates data. All this is achieved in a way that allows
organisations to identify wastage, save money and reduce their carbon footprint.
