Not only does this increase energy bills and emissions, it increases maintenance costs, and safety risks, makes spaces look run down, and feel uncomfortable. Meanwhile, many energy efficiency upgrades are poorly managed, often leading to non-compliance, early failures, operational issues, discomfort for building occupants, and un-repairable products.
ESCOs like Austep offer turnkey services encompassing consulting, engineering, and installation, all under a single accountable umbrella. This streamlined approach eliminates inefficiencies, ensuring higher quality results, faster project completion, and reduced costs. Put simply, we design and install energy efficiency upgrades for commercial buildings, to increase the profitability of your organization.
ESCOs specialize in optimizing energy usage, which is the quickest and most cost-effective method to slash energy bills and reduce emissions. Often referred to as ‘the first fuel,’ energy efficiency has delivered 26 times more impact than renewables in the past decades in reducing energy dependency and achieving net-zero targets.
Unlike dealing with multiple contractors, an ESCO provides a unified strategy from audit to implementation. This integration ensures that energy efficiency projects are not only compliant but also align with the highest industry standards, avoiding common issues like non-compliance, early failures, or operational disruptions.
By reducing wasted energy, ESCOs help lower operational costs significantly. Additionally, improved energy practices contribute positively to environmental sustainability, helping your business move closer to carbon neutrality.
Energy efficiency enhancements often include upgrades to lighting and climate control systems, improving both the safety and the visual appeal of your premises. Better lighting can enhance security, while efficient heating and cooling systems contribute to a more comfortable and healthier workplace.
