Energy is one of the few costs a business can still do something about.
Fabric, lighting, heating, controls, ventilation and renewables.
Energy is a controllable cost for most businesses, and for many it’s one of the few remaining places where meaningful savings are still available. Support for non-domestic energy upgrades exists to make that investment stack up.
Business energy upgrade support covers measures across the building envelope and the systems inside it — insulation, lighting, heating, controls, ventilation and renewables. The specific schemes, their eligibility rules and their funding levels are set by SEAI and reviewed periodically, so we establish exactly what’s open to your business at survey stage rather than quoting figures that date.
What doesn’t change is the approach: work out where the energy is actually going, fix the fabric before upsizing the plant, and sequence the measures so each one makes the next cheaper.
Large heated volumes, long hours, high hot water demand, ageing plant.
The buildings we see the biggest returns in tend to share a few characteristics:
An upgrade is also increasingly a commercial requirement rather than just a cost saving. Tender processes, lease negotiations and supply chain requirements now routinely ask about building performance and carbon.
From insulation to heat pumps, ventilation and more. Improve comfort, lower bills and increase your BER rating.
New builds, extensions and deep retrofits, fully managed from design and planning through to construction and completion.
High-quality solar panel systems for homes, farms and businesses. Lower energy costs and gain energy independence.
Energy upgrades and construction solutions for commercial, agricultural and public sector projects.
A business upgrade lives or dies on the survey. Without one you end up specifying from assumptions and installing plant that’s sized for a building that no longer exists.
We start with what the building actually does: how it’s occupied, when it’s heated, where the losses are, and what the energy bills say about it. That produces a measure list ranked by payback, not a catalogue of everything we could sell you.
Commercial projects have to work around trading. We phase works around operating hours, out-of-season windows and shutdown periods, and we’re used to working in occupied buildings where the business can’t stop.
Survey, specification, costing, grant application, installation, commissioning and the compliance documentation at the end. One contractor, one point of contact, one programme.
Schemes exist across the range, from small premises to large industrial sites, with different routes depending on scale. We’ll point you at the right one.
Funding levels are set by SEAI and reviewed periodically. We confirm what currently applies to your building and measure list as part of the survey.
Some routes require one, and it’s good practice regardless. An audit is what turns a wish list into a ranked investment case.
Yes. Phasing around trading hours is standard on commercial projects.
