Chamber Net Zero service
10 areas of energy management
Buying green energy
Buying REGO backed green energy generated from renewable sources will help you meet net zero Scope 2 emission reporting.
Switch off
Save energy by turning off lights, computers, air conditioning and other equipment at the end of the day. Analyse data to find any consumption waste when the business is closed.
Occupancy sensors and timers
Install motion sensors to limit lighting and air conditioning to occupied periods.
Boiler upgrades
Old boilers can have a thermal efficiency as low as 60% which can increase to 98% with a new condensing boiler.
Heat pumps
Heat pumps provide hot water to a building and can provide efficiencies of up to 600%.
LED lighting
Replacing old lighting with new LED lighting can provide a 50% energy reduction.
Building insulation
Improving insulation in buildings will use less energy but can be expensive to execute.
Electric vehicles
Upgrading company vehicles to electric and installing EV charging points will reduce emissions.
Smart building tech
Smart sensors, building management systems and artificial intelligence (Al) will control and optimise a building’s performance.
Onsite generation
Photovoltaic or solar thermal panels and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) are a good way to generate onsite power, reducing reliance and costs from external power sources.
Net Zero Accelerator
In June 2019, the Parliament passed legislation requiring the government to reduce the UK’s net emissions of greenhouse gases by 100% relative to 1990 levels by 2050. Doing so would make the UK a ‘net zero’ emitter.
This led to Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council declaring a climate emergency in September 2019 and have set out their aims to achieve net zero carbon within the council by 2040, and across the borough by 2045.
Businesses must respond to these requirements from both legislation and demand.
As a response, we launched the Net Zero Accelerator: an exclusive project for 36 ambitious Barnsley businesses to contribute to net zero.
What is a Net Zero Accelerator?
The Net Zero Accelerator was a project of free and intensive support delivered during 2022 from The Business Village, designed exclusively for 36 innovative businesses based in the Barnsley area who had high-impact potential for contributing to the net zero carbon emission targets.
