5. CRC Audit certificate
An internal ‘audit certificate’ must be signed by an individual who exercises management control to confirm that records are complete, correct and adequate. RPS can minimise the risk of Environment Agency fines by verifying your organisation’s certificate.
6. Carbon Allowance Trading
RPS can provide you with support through the carbon trading process to maximise return on expenditure.
7. Energy Efficiency Auditing
The audit results show you how to materially reduce your organisation’s energy consumption. Whether an overview of a portfolio, or a detailed assessment of plant performance, RPS has the breadth and depth of experience to identify improvements to ensure that efficiencies are maximised.
8. Energy Efficiency Solutions
The recommendations are designed to materially reduce energy consumption and will have a positive impact on your CRC league table position. The main areas relevant to energy efficiency are:
Energy Management – will improve behavioural aspects of the business relevant to energy use, including training and management systems (e.g. BS EN16001) to promote a culture of efficiency
Building Service/Renewable Energy Engineering - including advice about design, installation and operation of systems while optimising your capital expenditure.
