Barker Energy360™
is our process to help you craft a strategy for energy transformation, implement change & enjoy the benefits as a result of that change:
Knowledge is power. Our energy and sustainability team can undertake energy audits of your estate. We will collect energy usage data for each site, undertake a detailed energy audit and identify key opportunities for energy improvements.
Create a roadmap for decarbonisation. We produce tailored energy strategies for our clients that enable positive action. We identify the potential for energy saving schemes across your organisation, test the feasibility of implementation and prioritise projects into management programmes to suit your organisation. We can help you secure funding and manage the delivery of your projects.
Energy transformation requires investment, and some may consider this a barrier to implementing their plans. However, at Barker, we appraise the available funding opportunities and recommend the optimum approach. Our clients can fund their energy transformation with the support of our specialist funding experts and bid writers.
Getting it done. We have a team of professional project managers who oversee the delivery of your energy efficiency projects. We offer a turnkey solution from design through procurement to delivery and ongoing monitoring. Our experience ensures you achieve high quality, value for money, a return on your investment and peace of mind.
