Industry sectors
Businesses within the same sector often use and generate energy in the same way. Identifying the best practices and sharing these within a sector will benefit individual busineses and drive energy efficiency gains across the whole sector.
Sectors that have best practice programmes or sector based energy efficiency projects are:
If your business is not in one of these sectors, check out our information for large business or small and medium business. Individual companies in these industries are still able to make direct applications for grants.
Best practice programmes
Best practice energy efficiency programmes are developed by industry bodies with our support. These programmes prioritise the energy efficiency opportunities and demonstrate how real savings can be achieved.
The focus is on:
- Monitoring and controlling energy consumption
- Developing benchmarks for best practice
- Information sharing and awareness.
These measures help participating sectors to:
- Reduce operating costs and improve profitability
- Reduce their carbon footprint and improve environmental performance
- Meet consumer and staff expectations.
These programmes also provide a forum for sharing knowledge and regularly reviewing best practice benchmarks. Know-how is shared with members, and to the wider community, to help all types of businesses learn from the findings and recommendations.
