Energy efficiency case studies

Helping members save

Helping members to make savings in their energy costs is a key part of the service Crown Commercial Service offers you through your framework agreement. We've worked with CCS and made sure that all framework members have access to the expertise necessary to help them make sound energy saving decisions.

 

Getting your energy saving programme started

83% of CCS customers surveyed expect to plan an energy efficiency project in the next 3 years(1).

If you're not sure where to start, we can help in a simple and straight forward way. That's because the framework Crown Commercial Service has in place provides a unique opportunity for its members to achieve sustainable change.

We've asked suppliers like EDF Energy to actively work with our customers to help them save. The EDF Energy team will provide the start point, support you through the investment and measure the success.

Savings figures are the estimated savings that could be achieved by implementing the measures recommended in its July 2014 energy audit. Figures assume that all building site energy usage requirements otherwise remain the same, and are based on their energy prices as at the date of the audit. Individual savings may vary.
