Select Energy Solutions

Buildings and /or processes will consume energy, either through the use of space conditioning equipment to provide comfortable environments for occupants or for processes operational during the manufacture / assembly of a product. There are increasingly more reasons for for reducing energy consumption in the wrokplace and at home.

Financial

Energy represents an almost unavoidable cost in running any business, organisation or home. Energy costs are often considered as a fixed overhead and something that very little can be done about.  Cost increases are set to continue with home owners and businesses becoming increasingly aware of these costs. Energy costs are often perceived as small costs in the operation of a business or home. Typical energy costs may only represent between 1% and 5 % of income or turnover. Depending on circumstances it may be much higher. Nevertheless, lowered expenditure on energy can be re-directed into other resources or to increase bottom line profit. A reduction in energy expenditure can result in a large percentage increase in profits or money to spend on other things. Such opportunities are not to be missed. The knowledge and technology exist to reduce energy consumption significantly. SES can assist you in realising these potential savings. Taking action now can minimise the impact of future uncertainties and potentially save you money in the medium and longer terms.

Legislative

National legislation driven by European Directives is placing increasing pressure on companies and individuals to save energy and switch to less carbon intensive fuels. The Kyoto Protocol is a major driving force for EU countries. Under this protocol, Ireland has agreed to limit carbon dioxide emissions to levels 13.5% above 1990 levels by 2008-2012.  Significant legislation includes the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Energy Services Directive. Member states have been compelled to implement national carbon savings policies and legislation to satisfy these directives affecting both businesses and residential property. A company may be compelled to carry out energy surveys, energy audits or flue gas emissions monitoring as legislative obligations, e.g. under IPPC licence agreements. New build residential properties now need to be constructed to higher thermal and carbon emission standards than ever before. SES are able to provide these services to assist you in satisfying many of these legislative requirements at competitive rates. SES prefer to consider legislative compliance as an opportunity to identify energy savings potentials and realise financial benefits in terms of cost savings, increased profits or improvements in competitiveness. A pro-active approach to such legislation will provide any organisation or home owner with cost reductions and / or a competitive edge. 
 

Environmental Sustainability

It is now generally accepted that "Climate Change" is taking place as a consequence of the large scale release of greenhouse gases. The combustion of fossil fuels is one of the major contributors to global warming. Ireland as a nation is committed to curtailing its release of greenhouse gases. Ireland ratified the Kyoto Protocol and pledged to maintain greenhouse gas emissions within +13.5% of 1990 levels by 2008 - 2012. Ireland has already exceeded this quota with emissions at 20%+ above 1990 levels. Ireland must act urgently in order to meets its targets. Ireland has a rich and diverse natural environment. It is up to us all to make a contribution towards its sustainability in the future. Addressing the issue of climate change by reducing your pollutant emissions will allow companies and individuals to improve sustainability and reduce carbon foot prints.
