Carbon Management

Whether it is the pressure of increased costs or your customers are requesting your carbon footprint as an input into their supply chain management systems the emphasis on your carbon footprint and how to reduce it has never been greater. At Ecodecisions we can not only calculate your carbon footprint but we can also identify and recommend appropriate carbon reduction strategies that will reduce costs and more importantly help you implement them successfully.

Commercial Energy Auditing

How much energy is your company wasting every year? With a comprehensive energy audit we can help you identify where you are wasting energy and then formulate a comprehensive report which details retrofit options and costings. More importantly we also document the savings you can make. During an audit of one company we identified a number of energy saving solutions which would cost approximately $17,000. The potential savings over ten years was in excess of $250,000

All energy auditing is conducted according to the Australian Standard; AS/NZS3598:2014 They can be either a level 1, 2 or level 3 audit, depending on the client’s requirements.

LED lighting planning and supply

Retrofitting

Lighting can be a large part of energy expenditure. We can analyse your current lighting and recommend cost effective solutions that meet Australian Standards. Our trained staff use special software that can design your lighting plan and more importantly, give you a full report detailing illumination levels and watts per square meter calculations. This is especially important for new buildings and renovations that have to comply with Section J of the National Construction Code.

We also do what we term as “Intelligent Delamping”  Many commercial premises are “over-lit”. That is to say that the light levels are a lot higher than the standards specify.

We use our light planning software to develop a proper light plan and this often means that we can reduce the number of light fittings, thus saving you more energy

Once we have determined the energy efficiency measures that are needed, we can help manage the project for you which can free up you valuable staff for other important duties Behavioural Assessments and change facilitation Often, the key to sustainability within an organisation is the organisational culture of the enterprise as well as its documented practices and principles. EcoDecisions can help you to identify these aspects of organisational behaviour and recommend an appropriate program to help implement your sustainable policies and procedures
