Reducing Energy Usage

Organisations have been trying to lower energy usage for decades. Learn more about how CUB can help you to achieve your ongoing goals in this area.

“The cheapest unit of energy is the one you never consume”

Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner CBE.

It is an obvious statement but an often-overlooked part of energy costs. When looking to reduce the cost of energy, CUB will use our expertise to achieve the lowest supply contract rate; however, with many customers seeing increases of 100%+, there may be more opportunities with how much you are using.

“Helpful, professional and personable - our clients tell us these words best describe CUB. and sets us apart from the competition and why we measure the length of our relationships with customers in decades.”
Louis Fairfax - Managing Director

How can CUB help me to reduce my organisation’s energy consumption?

CUB can help in a number of ways.

  1. Reporting and usage analysis – using our preferred data collection partner, CUB can access your data through an online portal where you can see how much energy you have used by each half-hourly period which is updated daily. This is available straight away if you have a HH (Half-Hourly read) meter, and we can provide costings to you for smart meters if you don’t.
  2. Energy Audit – CUB provides a straightforward, desktop-based energy audit to help identify quick wins and low-cost opportunities to reduce consumption. Following a short initial call to understand your site and usage, we’ll complete a simple worksheet-style review and share practical recommendations to support immediate improvements. We can then help to source options to carry out these recommendations where possible.
  3. On-site generation – CUB can help you deliver on-site generation solutions such as Solar PV, Heat Pumps or CHP. These types of technology are likely to be highlighted in the energy audit and will form part of your overall strategy, and CUB will project manage the installation of this technology alongside our partners. CUB can deliver on-site generation projects on a standalone basis, however, without the need for an energy audit or strategy review.
