What is an energy audit for businesses?

An energy audit for businesses is a detailed assessment of how your organisation uses energy across its estate. It analyses half-hourly (HH) data, Building Management System (BMS) performance and site-level consumption patterns to find inefficiencies, waste and cost-saving opportunities. Fidelity Energy delivers its audits to ISO 50002 and EN 16247 standards.

What do you review during an energy audit?

In an energy audit, Fidelity Energy reviews your energy consumption data, BMS optimisation settings, meter data accuracy and usage across all your sites. We also look at out-of-hours use, your supply voltage and your bills and rates. This shows abnormal consumption, operational inefficiencies and opportunities to reduce overall energy use and cost.

How do energy audits help reduce costs?

Energy audits reduce costs by showing where energy is being wasted, such as inefficient equipment, poor control settings or unnecessary baseload consumption. Fixing those issues lets businesses use less energy and lower costs without disrupting day-to-day operations. Every recommendation in a Fidelity Energy audit is designed to be realistic and operationally sound.

Can energy audits support ESG and reporting requirements?

Yes. Energy audits provide the data foundation for ESG reporting and carbon reduction planning, including Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions tracking. A Fidelity Energy audit puts a cost and carbon figure on each site, ready for your budgets and ESG reporting. That helps businesses evidence improvements and meet sustainability targets.

What happens after the audit is completed?

After the audit, Fidelity Energy gives you a detailed report of key findings, inefficiencies and recommended actions, ranked by saving from quick wins to longer projects. Actions may include BMS optimisation, behavioural changes, equipment improvements and monitoring to support ongoing energy reduction. We then support you through the next steps, helping you put the measures in place with minimal disruption.

What we check across your estate

See where your energy goes

Half-hourly and meter data for every site, so you can see what each one uses and how they compare.

Find what runs out of hours

Overnight and weekend use shows the baseload running when nobody is there.

Check the supply voltage

A supply well above 230V can mean paying for energy your equipment does not need.

Catch billing and rate errors

Every bill is checked against your contract, and every rate against the market.

Put a cost and carbon figure on each site

Usage becomes cost and Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions for each site, ready for your budgets and ESG reporting.

Get a plan ranked by saving

A report of what to fix first and why, from quick wins to longer projects.

GETTING STARTED

How it works

Book a free consultation

Our approach goes beyond surface-level figures, giving you a clear picture of where energy is being lost and why.

This includes reviewing half-hourly usage data and historical consumption trends to identify patterns such as peak demand issues, base load inefficiencies, and irregular or unnecessary energy usage.

We then translate this into clear, actionable recommendations that help you reduce consumption, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen long-term cost management across your organisation.

Assess your energy usage

We review your energy consumption, costs, and operational needs to identify opportunities for greater efficiency and savings.
