The big challenge of today is balancing cost and efficiency against output.

Between the raft of energy saving legislation, green initiatives and carbon levies businesses are now having to make more and more commercial decisions based on the efficiency of their operations. The question is how do you measure efficiency?
DLUHC implemented a measure to track efficiency in the form of the display energy certificate (DEC). This is aimed at public buildings as a mandatory measure but as yet DLUHC have not opened this up to the wider commercial audience. The DEC enables the user to benchmark their buildings’ operational energy use and co2 density based on recognised commercial benchmarks provided by CIBSE. The benchmark is the holy grail of energy efficiency auditing as how else do you know whether your building is being operated efficiently. You may have the latest energy saving measures in place but your operational management of the building may let you down. You only know this if you benchmark your building’s efficiency.

eCount is an innovative web based tool which can provide building user’s with a snap shot view of how efficiently they operate their building. eCount achieves this by providing a visual journey of Energy reduction and carbon emissions.
The software is based on the tried and tested government approved software, Lifespan DEC. This has already been used by a number of satisfied customers who have found it both simple and effective.
