Energy Management Services
Clouds Energy Consultants can help your business to reduce its energy consumption and therefore energy costs that directly affect your bottom line. This help could be heavily subsidised or even free of charge, through the Carbon Trust. Typical energy management services include:

- A detailed report that clearly outlines the measures for improvement, costs and paybacks.
- Assessment of equipment, operations and energy management awareness and practices.

Metering
It is not energy we want but actually the services that it provides. If we can achieve the same effect without using all that energy, and save money, that can only be a good thing. Clouds’ most effective route to achieving this level of efficiency is Metering.
Metering can be broken out into two sections: developing the ability to read meters and being able to manage that data. Without the management of data, there is little point in reading it!
What do we offer?
- Site visit conducted by one of our CIBSE accredited Energy Management consultant.
- A staged approach to metering, and identification of the most cost effective metering strategy for your organisation – remember it may NOT be your best option to meter everything!
- Competitively priced hardware solutions.
What are the benefits?
- Complete access to your energy data allowing accurate forecasting and accruals.
- Reduced estimated billing and the facility to check invoices (it is commonly believed that 3-5% of invoices are incorrect).
- Reduced labour time through not having to read meters.
- Better Corporate Social Responsibility, CO2 and Carbon Footprint Reporting.
- Installation of Automatic Meters would also contribute to achieving one of the Early Action Metrics for the Carbon Reduction Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC).

Monitoring and Targeting
Effective management of energy data is just as important as managing energy consumption and cost. ‘Clouds Energy’ combines Half Hourly, AMR and manually input meter reads, displaying data effectively and encouraging effective management of it.
What do we offer?
- 30 day trial on Clouds Energy, a remote web-based aM&T system.
- Energy Analysis, Financial Analysis, Invoice Validation and CRC Data Collection.
- Dedicated account manager providing monthly reports, an alarm facility and training.
- Remote access, no software installation costs or disruption; data backup, maintenance and software updates.
What are the benefits?
- Fully managed aM&T system that can reduce energy bills through increased awareness alone.
- Identification of most cost effective energy management opportunities.
- Ability to showcase your energy efficiency through use of a publically displayed dashboard.
- Ability to manage cost and legislation in one go!

Interim Energy Management
If efforts in energy management are falling by the wayside, then perhaps an ‘interim energy manager’ solution would be the most appropriate. Often poor progress in energy management can be attributed to the lack of designated, skilled energy managers available to deliver cost-effective energy savings. We are energy managers, and so understand the difficulties in recruiting experienced energy management professionals.
What do we offer?
- The application of an experienced ‘Clouds Consultant’ to your organisation to assist with enhancing energy efficiency and promotion of successful improvement measures.
- The consultant will be located at your site for an agreed amount of days per month, and so will be ideally placed to provide the required services. Services can include anything from creating an organisational energy strategy and delivering site energy awareness training, to full project management of energy saving measures.
What are the benefits?
- The flexibility of this approach ensures that your organisation is given as much or as little assistance, as required.
- Access to experienced energy professionals with limited burden on the time and financial resources that are typically associated with a recruitment process.
- Delivery of bespoke projects that will yield cost-effective energy and carbon savings.
