Expert commercial lighting & electrical audits deliver big savings

Our detailed lighting and electrical audits have provided essential proof of energy use for Travis Perkins.

The challenge

Travis Perkins sought our help to provide evidence to resolve a dispute with the landlord of ones its branches. The property owners were attempting to back date energy bills to 2007.

Our solution

Greenlite's team carried out a site visit to create an audit of all electrical appliances drawing down on the electricity supply. We also reviewed the equipment that was being used for monitoring the energy usage. A full list of the lights and other appliances in use was created; their individual energy consumption values established; and the amount of hours each light was in use since 2007 to establish exactly what energy had been used over this period.

What was the outcome?

Thanks to the work carried out by Greenlite, we were able to establish exactly what the shortfall in payments should be and this was £77,000 less than the demands for estimated usage being made.

This branch of Travis Perkins was eventually settled for £23,000, some £77,000 less than the original estimated demand of £100,000.
