Building a better environment
the green house offers a range of services designed to ensure that your business meets and exceeds its environmental responsibilities in key areas such as recycling, energy, carbon, renewables and education.
Whether you are looking at increasing your levels of recycling, lowering the amount of energy you use or even just gaining control over your current processes and systems – the green house is the perfect partner to offer assistance.
the green house has access to a Green Supply Chain consisting of over 150 service partners ranging from recycling companies to Smart Meter manufacturers. the green house combines this with its considerable experience in environmental management to create a simple yet powerful package – ideal for businesses who want to achieve strong levels of Corporate Social Responsibility without compromising cost or operations.
RECYLING:
High Impact
Landfill as an end point for commercial waste is an archaic concept that commercially is in decline. Alternative solutions for dealing with the disposal of waste from businesses are required that meet commercial, operational and ethical standards.
the green house has built an impressive network of alternative solutions that it currently offers its clients – resulting in increased levels of sustainability, transparency and reduction in costs.
the green house has particular experience in commodity trading and can help businesses turn waste from a cost into a valuable resource generating revenues from materials such as cardboard, plastics and cooking oil.
Energy:
Most companies have little control over their energy usage, relying on invoices to provide data (by which time it is out of date).
the green house has solutions that can provide analysis and management of energy usage in real-time to allow business to take control over their energy usage and make commercial decisions based on current and relevant data.
Products include sophisticated metering, including advanced and SMART meters, fast and secure data collection covering consumption, carbon and costs, providing valuable data and inputs for use in energy certificates (DECs, EPCs) and bill verification.
Carbon Management:
Probably the highest profile environmental service thanks to extensive media coverage and sector development. The Carbon market doubled in size in 2008 from $32bn to $64bn per annum and yet many businesses still know only the basics such as what their Carbon Footprint is or was in the previous year.
That is changing and now businesses want to know what their Carbon Footprint is in real-time and how they are managing the amount of Carbon they are responsible for producing.
the green house offers businesses a fully outsourced Carbon solution which will include business alerts/early warning summaries, benchmarking and prioritisation and emissions and Carbon Reduction Commitment Compliance (CRC)
the green house will then undertake an improvement and implementation strategy to reduce the active footprint a client has.
Improvement – proactive Energy Management and ongoing Carbon Control initiatives including alerts and controls, business process changes, active management of energy through constant monitoring and changing staff behaviour.
Implementation – technology upgrades, proactive maintenance and installing energy efficient devices all deliver measurable benefits. Hardware and technologies covered include air conditioning, heating, lighting, office equipment, building controls and Building Management Systems.
Education:
One of the most difficult things for businesses to overcome when attempting to improve their CSR credentials is attaining the complete ‘buy-in’ of senior management and the workforce. From an operational point of view it also makes the job of a company such as the green house harder as communicating information quickly and effectively becomes difficult.
To counter this the green house delivers a host of internal and external marketing and education solutions ranging from briefing notes to systems processes, websites and ecoPacks.
The end result of these processes is an efficient implementation of all new environmental measures and maximum exposure to stakeholders for the achievements in reaching targets.
Renewables:
An exciting aspect of the environmental sector that is developing quickly is commercial micro-generation – businesses generating their own energy. As well as combatting increasing energy costs businesses generating their own energy can also take advantage of new Governmental measures introduced in April 2010 such as the Clean Energy Cashback Scheme, where businesses will be paid for any renewable energy they produce.
the green house has a number of solutions that can enable businesses to generate their own energy. In many cases, there is a direct correlation between other green house solutions that can create significant synergies for businesses.
Mini Case Study
In the case of shopping centres often food waste represents over 50% of the total waste output which could meet the necessary volumes to install a micro-anaerobic digestion facility on site. 100% of the organic waste produced could be fed into this process which is then used to generate electricity to power the building – thereby achieving the second objective of cutting energy usage.
The big picture
With the background of increasing government regulations for emission reduction targets, businesses need to comply with new policies cost-effectively. the green house can help companies to achieve this by advising on all aspects of compliance with current and impending legislation. This will include the following:
- Climate Change Agreements (CCAs)
- EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS)
- UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS)
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document which states the energy efficiency of a building based on the standardised way that the building is used. Carbon dioxide (CO2) ratings are shown in bandings from A to G and this has now become an EU Directive that affects every building in the UK.
Auditing
The first step to improving the energy efficiency of your company is to find out where the energy is used. Energy Management Solutions can carry out an energy audit which will show you where savings can be made without adversely affecting the overall performance of the operation.
The results of the audit will vary company to company but will often include suggestions for the installation of new technologies such as Voltage Optimisation, Smart Meters and/or Renewable Energy solutions as well as best practice procedures and energy workforce processes.Data Management
the green house offers a management service to collate data such as:
- Sophisticated metering, including advanced and SMART meters
- Fast and secure data collection covering consumption, carbon and costs
- Providing valuable data and inputs for use in energy certificates (DECs, EPCs)
- Carbon, energy and CRC reporting
- Bill verification services
Meter Operations
Through a partnership agreement with a leading commercial body the green house can offer its clients a hands-on service of managing the supply of energy to the buildings with services that includes:
- Sophisticated equipment for electricity, gas, water and more
- True nationwide coverage
- Advanced metering, Multi-utility and Sub metering for even more visibility
- Choice of flexible communications
- Expert, highly trained engineers
Energy Intelligence
If businesses don’t put their carbon and energy data into context, they will not gain a true picture of current activity, opportunities available and future direction.
- the green house analytics transform the data into actionable insight.
- Analytics
- Benchmarking
- Recommendations
- Strategy development
- Advanced bureau services
- Complete energy certification support (DECs, EPCs)
Compliance
the green house advises on how to comply with legislation including:
- Emissions Trading Scheme (EUETS) and Climate Change Agreements (CCAs)
- Emission trading scheme application and verification
- Energy Efficiency Accreditation Scheme
