We’ve compiled lots of quick and easy checks you can do, and changes you can make, to help your business save money and energy.
During Scotland’s winters, when the mercury often plummets to well below zero, heating our workplaces to comfortable levels becomes essential. But it is also a big expense. For some organisations it can account for as much as half of total energy bills.
At this time of year, even the smallest inefficiencies will waste hard-earned profits, increase your carbon footprint, and impact you and your staff’s comfort and productivity.
To help you get your business ready for winter, check out the free advice, tips and resources below.
Stay warm for less this winter
Join this webinar to find out about 13 simple quick and easy actions your business can take to reduce its energy use, save money on energy bills and stay warm this winter.
Could you heat your business for less with a heat pump?
Heat pumps can be a great choice in many different businesses – from factories to offices, shops to holiday parks, care homes to community halls. Join this webinar to learn how heat pumps work, what benefits it could provide your business and the support and funding available to install one.
Get ready for winter by insulating against high energy bills
The last thing you want to do is to let the precious heat that you’ve paid for simply go to waste because your walls, roof and floor are poorly insulated. Up to 35% of your heat can be lost through uninsulated walls alone.
Unless you’re operating out of a modern, well insulated building, this free webinar is for you.
