They have delivered projects ranging from energy efficiency surveys, to renewable energy feasibility studies, carbon footprint assessments, and policy reviews, to a wide range of private and public sector organisations.

We provide consultancy services in the following areas:

A brief overview of these services is provided below. Please contact us to discuss any of these in more detail.

Today more than ever, effective energy management is a crucial issue for the success of any business. Strategic planning in the form of an energy strategy integrated within an overarching energy management system can provide an effective framework for the systematic management of energy.

S&G provide a number of services that can help businesses in the process of developing and implementing an effective energy strategy and management framework. We offer the following associated services:

• Corporate carbon and energy strategy and action plan development and communication
• Legislative and policy analysis
• Carbon market assessment and trading support, including project monetisation support, representation in the marketplace, and compliance strategy

Whether you are trying to meet carbon/energy targets or just trying to lower energy bills, understanding your energy use and actively managing that use is the first stage.

With an in-depth knowledge and experience of multi-site building operations, S&G are well suited to minimising the impact of energy consumption for our clients. We provide a wide range of services that can assist organisations develop, implement and review their energy and carbon management policies and programmes. These services include:

• Best practices analysis and benchmarking including renewable and low carbon technology assessments
• Supply and demand-side energy management
• Resource efficiencies in manufacturing, processing or logistics

Due to its ecological and economical advantages, sustainable building management and associated ‘Passive House’ design elements are considered by many amongst the most economically attractive approaches to zero carbon developments.

S&G provide the following services related to help your business get the most advantage out of sustainable building design:

• Sustainable and low energy advice and design
• Integrated environmental design
• Decentralised energy systems
• Building integrated renewables
• Low and zero carbon developments

Installing on-site renewable energy systems (generating heat and electricity form a renewable resource such as wind, solar etc) can significantly reduce your energy bills. Now, due to Government backed incentives (FIT, RHI), they can also provide an attractive return on investment as well as help meet energy or carbon reduction targets.

• Resource appraisal and feasibility studies
• Technical advice on emerging technologies
• Project management
• Site management
• Energy generation monitoring and reporting
• Process engineering to integrate renewable generation into energy supply chains

In association with PLANED, Save & Generate have provided one-day energy advice clinic sessions for farmers advising on the feasibility of different on-farm renewable energy generation options.

The adage “you can’t manage what you don’t measure” is particularly true of energy management. The first step to reducing energy consumption is the installation of accurate and high temporal resolution metering systems, often referred to as smart meters. For industry and business the benefits of the adoption of this technology are obvious and increasing legislation requires their installation.

As part of a holistic approach to energy management of a system no matter how large and complex, monitoring plays a linch-pin role providing interconnection between design and implementation. Without accurate monitoring and correct analysis of the data collected, ground breaking sustainable design and application have, at best no credibility and, at worst no information as to whether the concept works or not. Modern data collection methods allow vast quantities of data to be automatically pooled and analyzed to provide guidance, in the short term on system operation and in the long term, indications of overall performance.

There are a number of services that S&G provide to support business customers in meeting requirements on reporting of their energy performance. These include:

• Developing carbon emission inventories and footprints
• Developing protocols for accounting and reporting
• Data management systems
• Carbon footprinting and development of greenhouse gas inventories (historical and forecast), including baseline determination
• Transparent and credible performance reporting

Tackling climate change and the move towards a low carbon economy provides tangible, immediate benefits for business. Making this transition will mean a technological and social shift, and it is important that the UK seizes market opportunities to supply and lead the low carbon industries of the future.

S&G can support Government and private sector customers in their efforts to move to a low carbon economy by providing services in the following areas:

• Scientific reviews
• Regulatory impact assessment
• Policy advice and implementation

In line with the UK Government's commitment to meeting the ambitious carbon emission reduction targets that have been set in legislation for decades to come, energy supply and use is coming under increasing legislative scrutiny.

S&G can help businesses comply with legislative requirements as well as provide advice on how to gain maximum commercial benefit at the same time. The services we offer include:

• Strategic legislative and policy analysis and risk assessment
• Marginal abatement cost-effectiveness curves, and capital projects analysis
• CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC), Climate Change Levy (CCL), EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC)

To cut spending on electricity, will free up finances for other areas of the business. Cut energy consumption and your organisation can have a beneficial impact on the environment and become more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
