BP Consulting is proud to offer energy management, procurement and strategy services to public sector organisations. Considerations towards energy management is intrinsic to efficient operations. With the ever-adapting economic climate, environmental factors and energy market, it is crucial for public sector organisations to explore the most appropriate options, ranging from working with a consultancy like ourselves to considering more renewable solutions. We’re here to talk about how we can help your organisation specifically.

Public Health Sector

The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK has set several energy targets to improve the sustainability of its operations as part of a larger Carbon Reduction Strategy. Some of the current targets include:

Carbon reduction: The NHS has set a target to reduce its carbon emissions by 80% by 2040, compared to 1990 levels.

Energy efficiency: The NHS aims to improve the energy efficiency of its buildings, with a target of reducing energy consumption by 33% by 2020, compared to 2007 levels.

Renewable energy: The NHS aims to generate at least 15% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020.

Where we recognise that organisational targets are crucial to development, it is often difficult to find consultancies that understand the specific requirements implemented within the public health sector. Our team take the time to understand each organisation’s individual operations in relation to achievable targets.

Our Energy Reporting and Management service proposes the right opportunity to help NHS organisations improve the energy efficiency of their buildings, looking at ways we can control and reduce consumption in specific high-usage areas; IoT technology can support two-way communications between sensors, simply connecting over an internal network. Collecting data on usage patterns is crucial to implementing a succinct energy-efficient strategy.

Solar PV is a crucial consideration for public sector organisations, with energy being a significant overhead for any organisation. Not only does this reduce carbon footprints, but allows the public health sector to rely on self-generation without facing any changes in overheads due to the ever-changing energy industry. Alternatively, we can help organisations procure competitive prices on their energy supply, while considering the most sustainable suppliers.

Education Sector

Schools have long been trying to reduce their expenditure and improve their budget in healthy ways. Our team here at BP Consulting can help – reducing energy consumption can lead to large reductions in expenditure through the correct procurement options and the correct client aftercare, including bill validation and on-hand customer care. An understanding of utilities is required to ensure that positive changes can be made to school’s budgets.

Our expert team can help schools, colleges, universities and more with:

Procurement; our experts can explore the market for the most suitable and competitive prices. With very little guidance on best practices, having an expert explore the market on behalf of your organisation can lead to better results.

Bill Validation; our Bill Validation team thoroughly check over bills to ensure no additional costs or unnecessary charges are being made. They work towards identifying any billing issues from the outset and resolving them in the most efficient way possible.

Sustainability options; the need for sustainable energy is growing within the public sector. Renewable sources can be confusing to navigate with a variety of different technologies. Our team can help educational organisations understand the long-term benefits of renewable, self-generating sources.

Property Management Sector

We can provide property management with a range of services to help reduce energy consumption, save money, and improve sustainability. By conducting an energy audit, we can identify areas where energy is being wasted and recommend changes to improve energy efficiency, such as LED lighting, IoT and renewable solutions.

We can help property management to implement sustainable energy practices, including renewable energy sources, and ensure compliance with energy-related regulations and standards. By implementing our recommendations, property management can reduce energy consumption and save money, while improving the property’s sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint.

Overall, we can provide valuable expertise and guidance to property management to help them optimise their energy usage and make their properties more energy-efficient.

Councils Sector

We can help councils to develop energy management plans, providing guidance on setting energy reduction targets, identifying funding opportunities, and tracking progress towards achieving energy goals. Additionally, we can assist councils in complying with energy-related regulations and standards, helping to avoid penalties and fines for non-compliance. It is important for councils to set an example of sustainability progression, and by working with BP Consulting, councils can save money on utility bills, reduce their carbon footprint, and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.

We provide valuable assistance to the public sector in their efforts to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. By conducting energy audits, making recommendations for energy improvements, and helping to implement sustainable energy practices, consultants can help clients save money on utility bills, reduce energy consumption, and make their properties and facilities more environmentally friendly.

Additionally, we can assist clients in complying with energy-related regulations and standards, ensuring that they avoid penalties and fines. With our expertise and guidance, public sector organisations can achieve their energy goals and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
