Identify Energy Reductions, Efficiencies and Cost Savings in less than 1 week with an Energy Audit conducted by Go Home Smart
Significant cost reductions can be achieved by working within the current infrastructure, implementing recommending changes as a first point of call. Thereafter investment options can be advised and considered.
In today's rapidly evolving energy landscape, optimising energy consumption and harnessing renewable sources have become paramount. This case study highlights the impressive savings achieved through a comprehensive yet speedy energy audit conducted on a 100amp electrical supplied property. By identifying & implementing energy-efficient measures, optimising the use of solar PV and wind energy systems, the property owners were able to reduce costs significantly & instantly while avoiding future penalties for exceeding their electricity supply capacity. The savings can be enhanced further still by integrating automation solutions too.
The challenge of this Energy Audit and Case Study.
The 100amp electrical supplied property is a combination of partial farm buildings and its residential home. It faced the recurring issue of demand consistently exceeding its electrical supply capacity of 100amp electricity. This resulted in penalties, higher electricity bills, and missed opportunities to leverage renewable energy sources effectively. To address these challenges, the property owners sought professional assistance through an energy audit by Go Home Smart.
The Energy Audit Process:
As experienced consultants a comprehensive energy audit was conducted over the course of less than a week. The audit aimed to identify energy wastage, equipment operating inefficiencies, and opportunities for leveraging existing solar PV and wind energy generation. Through careful analysis and data collection, valuable insights were gained into the property's energy consumption patterns and potential areas for optimisation.
The energy audit led to the identification of numerous opportunities for energy savings. Among the key findings were the presence of equipment not entering idle or standby mode and suboptimal scheduling practices. The experts recommended specific actions to mitigate these inefficiencies and capitalise on the available renewable energy sources.
Following the audit, the property owners swiftly implemented the recommended energy-saving measures. First, they addressed equipment idling and standby issues by creating awareness among occupants and implementing stricter protocols for turning off equipment when not in use. Additionally, they scheduling practices to align with peak solar PV and wind energy generation periods, maximising self-consumption.
Leveraging Solar PV and Wind Energy:
By strategically aligning their energy usage with solar PV and wind energy availability, the property owners were able to reduce their reliance on the grid and tap into their renewable energy generation capabilities. By installing energy management it can that automatically adjusted consumption based on real-time energy availability.
Quantifying the Savings:
Within the first year of implementing the energy audit recommendations, the 100amp supplied property will achieve savings of £3,000. The anticipated savings without further changes are estimated to reach £3,500, reflecting the continued commitment to energy efficiency.
Further Enhanced Savings:
As part of their long-term plan, the property owners will enhance their energy-saving efforts through automation and increasing their solar PV which Go Home Smart will design, supply, install and commission. By implementing smart home technologies, various energy consuming processes can be automated, enabling seamless integration based on real-time data. This automation will result in additional savings and reduce the risk of penalties.
Through Go Home Smarts’ comprehensive and knowledgeable energy audit and the subsequent implementation of energy-saving measures, this 100amp supplied property successfully reduced costs, improved renewable energy usage, and avoided penalties for exceeding their electrical supply capacity.
The results demonstrate that an informed energy audit by Go Home Smart can pay dividends, this, combined with renewable energy integration and automation, can lead to substantial savings and a greener, more sustainable future for residential and agricultural properties alike.
