Why should I believe that Enerit will help us reduce our energy bill?
Within the first 6 months of operation of an Enerit Energy Bureau for an owner of widely distributed office and industrial buildings, the first 4 buildings implemented have saved an average of 15% in electricity consumption.
If I commit to Enerit and I do not get expected savings, what can I do?
After we have reviewed the situation with you, if you still believe that the system will not work for your company, then you can simply stop the monthly payments.
What is so special about this Enerit programme?
Enerit uses the only software in the world that manages organisation-wide energy usage, based on the principles of the new EN 16001 energy management standard.
Do I have to sign-up for certification to a formal system like IS 393 or EN 16001?
No - so long as you take a systematic approach.
Do we need to install servers and software to run this service?
No - The Enerit software is hosted and managed remotely. The only set-up required is the initial checking of browsers to test that the users can access the system correctly.
Does Enerit provide Building Management Systems (BMS) or Monitoring and Targeting (M&T) software?
Enerit does not develop or deliver this type of software but will work cooperatively with other suppliers to provide a fully integrated solution.
Is Enerit's service suitable for me?
Enerit's approach is particularly well suited to owners of large stocks of commercial and institutional buildings such as: industrial and commercial development agencies; hospital groups and other healthcare providers; government and private sector offices; local authorities; offices of electrical and gas utilities; banks; insurance companies; hotels; and supermarkets.
Can I make these energy savings without using Enerit automated support?
No, we do not believe you can.
We believe that managers today are so consumed with other critical day-to-day issues that it is impossible to add systematic energy management responsibilities and successfully manage the activities without the use of an automated tool.
It is well known that energy management programmes that saved energy in their first year lose direction and control over time. The common result is that energy consumption begins to rise again.
Furthermore, many large multinational companies have found that, where systematic management techniques are required, manual processes based on Excel spreadsheets, Access databases, Word and Email fragments must be replaced by integrated and automated processes based on groupware and secure workflow.
For this reason, multinational companies like Mars, Alcatel-Lucent, Heineken, DHL, Philips, BNFL, Arjo Wiggins and Henkel all moved to automated software for ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 throughout the world. They all use the same fundamental software as that provided by Enerit.
How much does Enerit's service cost?
The exact cost depends on the size of your energy bill and the amount of effort Enerit needs to invest to deliver substantial energy savings to you. However, we confirm the following:
- The cost of Enerit services is based on a fixed monthly fee that is agreed upfront.
- There is no capital cost.
- There are no upfront setup costs.
- If we believe, before we make an agreement, that your monthly savings will not be several times greater than the Enerit monthly fee, then we will not make a proposal to you.
