Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)
![Page 8: Claire Geeson, energy legislation update](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051709/587a06bb1a28ab01268b5b31/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
WHAT IS ESOS?
• Mandatory assessment for large undertakings
• Identify energy-saving opportunities
• No legal obligation to implement
• But real value gained by going beyond compliance
• Phase 1 compliance due 5th
December 2015 (+ every 4 years onwards)
• Civil penalties may be applied by EA
![Page 9: Claire Geeson, energy legislation update](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051709/587a06bb1a28ab01268b5b31/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Be an exemplar
Start of the Journey…
“ESOS will identify
thousands of energy saving
initiatives…which could save
organisations more than £31bn
between 2015 and 2030if all the
recommendations in the ESOS reports are carried out”
Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC)

SCOPE
• ESOS targets around 10,000 of the UK’s largest undertakings
• As at the qualification date (Phase 1: 31st December 2014)…
Responsible for paying the energy bill; Employs 250 or more people, OR Employs less than 250 staff but has:
- an annual turnover in excess of 50 million euro (£38,937,777)
- and an annual balance sheet total in excess of 43 million euro (£33,486,489)
Part of a corporate group which meets the above criteria
• Most larger charities and Universities that get more than half their funding from private sources are in scope.
• Exempt if a contracting authority or subject to Insolvency procedures

COMPLIANCE & TIMESCALES 1 Measure total energy
consumption across:
> Buildings
> Industrial activities
> Transport
(direct fuel consumption only i.e. supplied for business purposes)
For 12 months (including qualification date).
Identify areas of significant consumption:
> At least 90% of total
2 Conduct energy audits to identify cost-effective energy efficiency recommendations
> Ensure areas of significant energy consumption are covered:
- ISO 50001 / DEC / GDA
- ESOS Audits
(conducted or reviewed by an ESOS Lead Assessor)
> Review by Board level Director(s)
3 Report compliance
> Notify the EA that they have complied with the scheme (online)
- Participant & Lead Assessor info
- Energy proportion via each compliance route
> Maintain Evidence Pack:
- Audited by ESOS Lead Assessor
- Not submitted to EA
- Retain for 12 years

ESOS ENERGY AUDIT // ESOS LEAD ASSESSOR
• The ESOS audit should:
o analyse energy consumption and efficiency
o identify energy efficiency improvements
o recommend practical and cost effective energy saving measures
o identify estimated costs and benefits
o apply a proportionate sampling approach
• Must be conducted or reviewed by a qualified Lead ESOS Assessor
Search by location or specialism
using CIBSE’S online search tool:
www.cibseenergycentre.co.uk
![Page 13: Claire Geeson, energy legislation update](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051709/587a06bb1a28ab01268b5b31/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Qualification Scope-check:
Large corporate undertaking
Pay the energy bill
Over 250 staff in UK
NOT a contracting authority or subject to an insolvency procedure!
• Energy Consumption Scope-check:
Buildings Our offices
Transport Vehicles supplied with fuel for business purposes
× Industrial activities
• UK Office Location Scope-check:
• Stand-alone buildings – sole occupancy – metered energy • Serviced offices – occupancy of space / floors – metered energy• Serviced offices – occupancy of space / floors – energy included in Landlord’s charge
• Timescales Scope-check: 12 consecutive months data: January 2014 – December 2014
• Two-pronged approach to data collection:
1. Office energy consumption data - energy bills
2. Grey fleet mileage & fuel type data - staff expense forms
GLEEDS’ ESOS: SCOPE
![Page 14: Claire Geeson, energy legislation update](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051709/587a06bb1a28ab01268b5b31/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
× No ISO 50001 in place / No DECs / GDAs
…therefore, chosen compliance route: ESOS compliant energy audits
• Building types reviewed by Internal ESOS Lead Assessor
• Proportionate approach:
1. Nottingham2. Leeds3. London
• Audits undertaken June – September 2015
GLEEDS’ ESOS: BUILDINGS
Leeds
Nottingham Wilford House
![Page 15: Claire Geeson, energy legislation update](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051709/587a06bb1a28ab01268b5b31/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Timescales: Same consecutive 12 month period
• Scope: Vehicles supplied with fuel for business purpose
Company Cars Grey Fleet (car allowance / own car for business purposes)× No freight
• Data units: Must be reported in energy units (e.g. kWh) or energy expenditure (£)
• Data sources: Transport receipts Mileage claims Average fuel consumption rates
• Data collection:
Where actual usage data is not available, take reasonable estimations of consumption based on verifiable data (e.g. expenditure)
E.g. number of expensed miles x average fuel consumption factor (UK Government conversion factors for Company Reporting)
GLEEDS’ ESOS: TRANSPORT
Commuting to and from work / personal mileage is NOT included.
![Page 16: Claire Geeson, energy legislation update](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051709/587a06bb1a28ab01268b5b31/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Over-arching Opportunities:

• Energy policy
• Utility bill monitoring
• Staff training & awareness
• Planned Investment
• Voltage management
GLEEDS’ ESOS: ENERGY SAVING OPPORTUNITIES

Considerations
FINAL THOUGHTS
• Painful Policies??
The process may be painful…but there is potential for positive outcomes
• ESOS
- slow uptake / low awareness sudden rush now
- places a clear obligation on Large Undertakings
- planning required, especially if numerous sites
• HNR
Heat Suppliers need to be clear on responsibilities, check exemptions and complete notification.
• MEPS
Private Landlords need to
- understand existing rating of their buildings
- pre-empt potential works required
• Importance of keeping up to date with policy changes
• Place of Sustainability in Organisational Operations and Strategy
