Energy Management Score

• Taking data from this audit, the project will be scored in line with recognised energy efficiency scores, A+ being the most positive score and C being the lowest. All projects need to play their part in reducing energy usage. This is vital to the Client's and our sustainability in business as well as actively participating in reducing our carbon footprint. Please use this audit as a list of improvements. No non-conformances will be recorded. should you have further questions or require assistance, do not hesitate to let us know.

• From the information provided above, we have scored the project as:

  Select A+ - More than achieving energy saving requirrements A - Achieving energy saving requirements B - Achieving generally but needs to go further to achieve a positive impact C - Under achieving with some way to go in energy efficency D - Project has little or no energy efficiency practices in place

  • A+ - More than achieving energy saving requirrements
  • A - Achieving energy saving requirements
  • B - Achieving generally but needs to go further to achieve a positive impact
  • C - Under achieving with some way to go in energy efficency
  • D - Project has little or no energy efficiency practices in place
