Clean Power by 2035 and Facilities Maintenance for Energy Efficiency
The UK Government recently announced plans to decarbonise the UK’s electricity system by 2035. This forms part of the country’s existing broader plans to achieve net zero by 2050. The challenge lies in providing a clean and renewable energy source that is both reliable and affordable for British homes and businesses into the future. The 2035 plans form part of an innovative strategy to reinforce security and independence of British energy.
According to Government, the plans to cut emissions in the UK to combat climate change are some of the most ambitious in the world. As the nation lays the foundation for the future, individuals and businesses are observing the emergence of new green technologies and innovations that stand to become the norm in years to come.
Preparing For a Future That’s Focussed on Energy Efficiency
On both a nationwide and individual business scale, the effectiveness of these targets relies wholly on action. This means everyone needs to give meaningful attention to energy efficiency and reducing emissions to prepare for future obligations.
Believe it or not, a great place to start is with facilities maintenance. Indeed, many businesses have already looked to FM to ensure efficiencies and address increased utility costs and environmental taxes. Here are a few ways that working with an experienced facilities maintenance company serves green objectives and works towards energy efficiency.
Facilities maintenance specialists understand energy
Firstly, FM specialists are able to provide insights on energy consumption and advise on the best way forward. From space planning and energy intensive behaviour to energy efficient equipment and tools, facilities maintenance experts offer tailored solutions to match your business’s energy fingerprint. This includes identify issues, benchmarking against industry standards, and devising a unique roadmap and reporting system for your business’s energy efficient future.
Facilities maintenance specialists help you to understand usage
Whether you are planning widespread changes to your business’s energy approach or if you are simply looking into ways to become more efficient, the starting point is the same. The only way to become more energy efficient is to understand your current usage. Your FM company provides metering solutions that show where and when energy is being consumed within your business. This helps to identify opportunities to reduce usage and, with it, expense.
At Voltix Services, we also offer our clients smart technologies powered by the Internet of Things. This provides powerful data insights in real time – across entire operations or within a selected section. One of the ways that these solutions benefit businesses is by empowering efficiency and sustainable changes.
Well-maintained equipment runs more efficiently
Equipment that is not maintained often runs less efficiently. Facilities maintenance specialists work on the mechanical components of businesses to an optimal maintenance schedule to ensure peak performance at all times. FM teams are also best-placed to let you know when the time has come for replacement and what technologies are available within your industry.
Facilities maintenance specialists can facilitate integrated energy solutions
In new and existing buildings, FM teams bring expertise to the move to renewable power sources. From advice on integrated systems to seamless installation, facilities maintenance teams offer full electrical services and solutions to power businesses.
Building maintenance affects energy
It’s not only equipment maintenance that has a bearing on energy efficiency. Building maintenance makes a difference too. FM teams work with businesses to ensure insulation and lighting best serve your business’s energy efficiency goals.
