Energy/CO2

Energy usage and carbon emissions are, and will continue to be, two of the most challenging issues of our generation, both politically and financially. For businesses, this means thinking innovatively about how to use energy efficiently and achieve sustainable savings both financially and in Co2 emissions.

Reducing and optimising energy consumption has always been an important part of our design strategy inspired by the fact that with the right support, you could bring your energy costs down by up to a third.

Before you start saving energy you need to know where it is used. We have the ability to be able to accurately monitor all aspects of energy usage, be that electricity, gas or oil using a system of meters attached to our wireless sensors. Therefore we can provide you with real time data to show how energy saving measures are impacting the energy being used by your business.

Making energy efficiency a priority is far more than just a 'green' gesture. It will also enable you to take advantage of tax incentives such as the government-run ECA scheme, whilst on-going energy savings will mean that any new equipment you invest in will pay for itself very quickly – potentially in less than a year.

Enhanced Capital Allowances (ECAs) enable you to write off the whole capital cost of any investment you make in energy-saving technologies against your taxable profits. In other words, investing in a Tektroniks system could effectively pay for itself in more ways than one, sooner than you think. For more information visit www.eca.gov.uk
