Energy Efficiency is essential in helping both businesses and consumers to reduce their energy consumption. It is also central to helping the UK to deliver on the commitment it made by signing the Paris Agreement and to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

There are several measures that can help business and consumers to improve their energy efficiency including fitting LED lightbulbs, utilising energy efficient heating and cooling systems, installed improved insulation, ensuring unused appliances are turned off.

While increasing energy efficiency often requires an upfront capital investment, the costs are typically recovered in the form of reduced energy costs, making energy efficiency an attractive means for reducing carbon emissions. A partner company of Low Carbon, UrbanVolt, has created an energy efficiency service called Light as a Service (LaaS®) in order to deliver these projects for corporate clients for no capital cost.

There are a multitude of energy efficiency benefits awaiting companies and offices alike while influencing a positive impact on the environment.
