Energy Audits for Small Businesses: Optimise Energy Usage & Reduce Costs
Introduction to Energy Audits
At Innov8 Dynamics, we work with two partners to assist small businesses in accessing government-supported energy audits through the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). Our audits evaluate your energy consumption, pinpointing opportunities to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. Our partners have completed 400+ Energy Audits in Ireland to date.
How Our Energy Audit Service Works
Schedule a Consultation: Connect with us to determine your eligibility for an energy audit.
Conduct the Energy Audit: Our experts assess your energy usage, identifying areas for improvement, such as optimizing heating, lighting, and cooling systems.
Access SEAI Support: Our two partners who are SEAI approved auditors will guide you through the SEAI Support Scheme for Energy Audits (SSEA), which offers a €2,000 voucher towards the cost of a high-quality energy audit. In most cases, this covers the total cost of the audit, excluding VAT. (See SEAI website).
Implement Energy-Saving Measures: Post-audit, our partners will assist in applying recommended changes to enhance energy efficiency.
Why Prioritize Energy Efficiency Now?
Rising Energy Costs: Energy prices in Ireland have significantly increased in recent years, with the cost of electricity now almost three times more than in 2012. This trend underscores the importance of energy efficiency to manage and reduce operational expenses.
EU Clean Energy Initiatives: The European Union is firmly committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% (compared to 1990) by 2030 and to become climate neutral by 2050. Subsidies and other economic incentives are playing an essential role in accelerating the deployment of clean-energy and energy efficiency measures. (See EU Clean Energy Incentives).
Government Support: The SEAI's Support Scheme for Energy Audits offers SMEs a €2,000 voucher towards the cost of a high-quality energy audit. In most cases, this will cover the total cost of the audit, excluding VAT.
Benefits of an Energy Audit
Cost Savings: Identify no-cost and low-cost changes to achieve immediate savings on your energy bills.
Enhanced Sustainability: Implementing energy-efficient measures contributes to environmental sustainability and aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
Access to Further Grants: An energy audit can open doors to additional funding for energy-efficient upgrades, further enhancing your business's efficiency and sustainability.
