If you keep track of exactly how much energy your business uses on a daily basis, then you can ensure that you can eliminate any wasting of energy that may happen. If you can address the issue of energy waste, then it will mean that you can reduce your carbon footprint. This in turn means that you will be able to have a better performance 'rating' as part of your Energy Performance Certificate: so the race to reduce is definitely on! For those who may think that this doesn' t really matter: it does, so either your business can be in the race or stand on the sidelines until it is too late: but if you do, then your business will undoubtedly suffer.
Smart Meters
Smart meters are exceptionally smart! They are a really new innovation and could dramatically alter how your business operate. A smart meter actually allows you to take readings when not on site i.e. remotely, so you don' t need to access the meter.
You will be easily able to spot any sudden changes in use and one important aspect of a Smart Meter, is that it allows you to predict what energy you will use in the future. You can even spot any dramatic variances in energy consumption and get a real feel for how and when energy is actually used. Thus anyone with a portfolio of properties, will be able to make very accurate predictions about future energy use.
They also eliminate the need for estimated bills, meaning that you only pay for what you use and your bill can be 100% accurate!
