ESOS energy audit and compliance

Services provided

Audit of energy saving opportunities to comply with the requirements of The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme, ESOS

Benefits achieved

Identified potential savings of over £270k with a payback of between 3 months and one year.

Summary

Europcar appointed JRP Solutions to carry out an ESOS audit on their estate which comprises their main office building, Europcar House, with an annual energy consumption of nearly 3M kWh, a further office building in Leicester and over 160 rental car depots around the country which also fall within the scope of ESOS. The depot at Heathrow, which includes running of shuttle buses, accounts for 14% of the total company energy usage with over 1.5M kWh, and the rest have an average of just over 40,000 kWh pa. In addition to the Heathrow depot, a representative sample of 4 of the rental depots were surveyed and results extrapolated for the entire estate.

Results

JRP produced a Site Energy Certificate for the building which showed that if all the opportunities were implemented, gas consumption would reduce from 4 x the typical benchmark to 1.6 x the benchmark, and the electricity consumption would reduce from 1.5 x the typical benchmark to 1.16 x the benchmark – significant reductions which would equate to savings of approximately £61,000 pa. The capital investment required to implement these saving would be £13,500, with a payback of less than 2 ½ months.
