Taking control of winter energy consumption
Advertisement feature: npower
Implementing a robust energy management strategy is especially important in the cold, dark winter months, when energy usage is at its highest.
Essential measures to reduce energy use and drive cost savings include monitoring energy usage and setting building controls, such as heating and lighting, correctly to avoid wasting energy. However, many businesses lack the resources needed to achieve effective energy management and to realise these savings.
npower’s comprehensive encompass service makes it easier for businesses to track and target their energy management, which is particularly critical during the winter.
Providing data on energy use across the business through an online solution, npower’s encompass enables businesses to make informed decisions on energy management based on where they are using it, and ensures they can take a proactive approach to change their usage accordingly. For example, for businesses with Volume Tolerances in their supply contracts, encompass enables them to see when they are likely to breach limits, meaning they can take action to prevent this.
An expert encompass team offers energy management advice and, for businesses using encompass Bureau, one of the services in the encompass suite, the team delivers regular reports to help set accurate forecasts for energy use.
Businesses can ensure they take full control of their energy management for many winters to come with encompass.
