Energy Efficiency Audits for Large Companies

Reduce costs and comply with Royal Decree 56/2016 on Energy Audits.

Optimize your energy consumption, saving up to 15%. Comply with regulations and boost the performance of your buildings, offices and points of sale.

The law, specifically Royal Decree 56/2016, requires large companies to perform these audits every 4 years to ensure they are being efficient with their energy use. This includes reviewing 85% of all energy consumed by the company, such as its buildings, warehouses, offices and other business assets.

Maximize the energy savings of your business assets

An energy audit not only serves to meet these legal requirements, but also helps you better understand and manage your energy costs more effectively, which can lead to significant savings. Our clients achieve on average 10% savings on their energy consumption.

Our energy audit includes a technical-economic plan aimed at reducing energy consumption and costs, based on economic profitability criteria. We carry out the analysis of reactive energy and the compensation proposal; and we adapt the contracted power to the real consumption.

Comprehensive assessment of your company's energy consumption

We audit all your facilities and assets in an efficient way to obtain effective measures to reduce consumption, with calculation of savings potential and payback period, including energy management systems for monitoring:

We evaluate from real estate (headquarters, offices, warehouses and points of sale) to vehicle fleets, computer equipment, data processing centers and special facilities or other specific equipment for the production process.

We evaluate the lighting, air conditioning, ventilation and heat production systems, as well as the domestic hot water and thermal envelope of buildings, offices and points of sale.

We analyze renewable energy sources

We perform reactive energy analysis and compensation proposal.

We adapt the contracted power to the real consumption.

We issue Energy Certificates, as well as LEED and BREEAM certificates.

Frequently asked questions about energy audits

When is an energy audit mandatory for your company?

What are LEED and BREEAM sustainable building certificates for?

In Spain, although there are no direct fiscal incentives at the national level specifically for obtaining LEED or BREEAM certifications, there are several ways in which building sustainability certification can be advantageous from a fiscal and regulatory point of view:

Local IBI rebates: Some municipalities offer reductions in Real Estate Tax (IBI) for buildings that demonstrate high standards of energy efficiency or sustainability, although this varies greatly from one municipality to another.

Valuation of the real estate asset: Although not a direct tax benefit, buildings with sustainability certifications tend to have a higher market value and attract tenants and buyers more quickly, which is a significant economic benefit.

Considerable savings in terms of long-term energy costs: The Technical Building Code (CTE) establishes minimum energy efficiency requirements that all new buildings and major renovations must meet. While this is not a direct tax incentive, meeting or exceeding these standards (something that certifications such as LEED and BREEAM ensure) is mandatory and can lead to considerable savings in terms of long-term energy costs.

What is an energy audit and why is it necessary for my company?

The purpose of the audit is to identify opportunities for saving and improving energy efficiency in a building or in some of its parts. After a detailed analysis of the energy consumption of the Property, the internal control technicians of our Energy Consulting department study and propose a series of actions to reduce and improve the costs associated with energy consumption, through an action plan under profitability criteria.

What legislation regulates energy audits in Spain?

Royal Decree 56/2016 obliges large companies and groups of companies to carry out a quality energy audit every four years. In addition, they must register each of the audited properties with the competent body of the autonomous communities where each of the facilities is located.

To comply with this regulation, the surface area occupied by the large company for the exercise of its activity, which generates 85% of the total final energy consumption, must be audited. That is to say, the company's energy expenditure, including, if any, the transport fleet linked to its activity.

How long does it take to perform a complete energy audit?

What kind of information do I need to provide for the audit?

How is the technical visit carried out and what does it involve?

The visit will take into account the data collection and registration of energy consumers, the measurements of the energy parameters of the auditable systems will be made. Subsequently, the analysis of the measurements made and the contrast with the energy data provided by the company will be carried out.

Another important aspect will be to obtain the current state of energy consumption and, finally, an analysis of the energy and environmental surroundings of the organization will be carried out in terms of the supply infrastructures of external energy sources, natural sources in the surroundings and the environmental impact of the surroundings on the company and of the company on the surroundings.
