Understanding Your Impact
Environmental Management System
Regardless of an organisation's shape, size and business sector, all organisations face an ever-increasing number of challenges relating to their environmental performance. More environmental legislation and regulation, higher energy and waste disposal costs, increased pressure from business partners and other stakeholders; the drivers for companies to actively engage in positive environmental management have never been greater.
ENVIDO provides the following recognized frame works to implementing an Environmental Management System:
- IEMA Acorn accreditation
- ISO 14001
- EMAS – EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme
Depending on your operations requirements we would advise on the most suitable standard. There are enormous potential benefits to be gained through effective environmental management. You can implement your EMS in bite-sized chunks with the ability to pause at each level if necessary - you decide the pace to fit in with the dynamics of your business. All manual solutions can be integrated with in house or ENVIDO's technical solutions.

Behaviour Change & Awareness
At its most basic, energy efficiency is about making behavioural changes at an individual level. Everyone has a role to play in cutting waste in their immediate environment and these small changes can add up to significant difference. But getting people to change behaviour is tough - old habits die-hard. If people can see the effect of their actions and feel they are making a real impact the change can and will occur.
ENVIDO provides the following solutions to help organization motivate staff to take effective action in the work place:
Most environmental problems are caused by human behavior and have long-term implications. To address and create long-term solutions to these problems, behavior needs to change. The newly emerging field of environmental communication brings together a set of social marketing and behavior change tools that can help with environmental enforcement, compliance with regulations and desired changes in behaviour.
Sub Metering
The case for sub-metering is now sufficiently well established that in England and Wales Part L of the Building Regulations requires installation of sub-metering for new non-domestic buildings and also, in some cases, for refurbishment.
Good metering underpins the energy & water monitoring and targeting process, which is an essential part of energy & water management.
Most buildings have incoming meters for billing purposes. They measure the total input of the specific fuel to the site. Regular meter readings will provide some information about the overall energy consumption, but it reveals little about where the energy problems lie.
Installing sub-metering throughout a building to monitor the specific uses of the fuel & water being metered can help identify which end-use or service (e.g. lighting, fans, pumps, IT equipment, room, department, appliance, floor space etc.) is performing well, or badly, allowing more targeted action.
Sub-metering provides the measurements to identify where and when energy is being wasted. Designers wanting to deliver good practice design should incorporate sub-metering in buildings in order to provide the occupier with the systems to enable the building to be managed properly. These are some of the reasons for installing sub-metering:
We can supply Automated sub-metering systems and can employ such diverse communications protocols as RS485/232, UHF/VHF radio, analogue modems, digital GSM modems, WiFi, Ethernet and more.
ENVIDO are able to supply on a parts-only basis or as turnkey, fully managed installations, as preferred by the customer. When sub-metering is being used as a monitoring and targeting tool, we generally recommend using a software collection system. This can be ENVIDO's Sustainability System OR integrated into almost any other software used by the customer.
AMR & SMART Metering
What is Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) or Smart Metering?
Automatic meter reading (AMR), or Smart Metering, is the technology of automatically collecting data from water meter or energy metering devices (water, gas, electric) and transferring that data to a central database for billing and/or analyzing. This means that billing can be based on actual consumption rather than on an estimate based on previous consumption, giving customers better control of their use of electric energy, gas usage, or water consumption.
What can ENVIDO do?
ENVIDO is 100% independent of Energy suppliers and meter operators and through its trusted partners it can collect whatever data you need - in whatever time frames make sense for your business, including half hourly. Our approach is fast, secure and sophisticated, from the best hardware through to data processing.
- Remote settlement services - for customers and energy suppliers.
- Remote non-settlement services - for customers and energy managers.
- Daily or monthly data gathering.
In general, the provision of accurate data enables action to be taken to understand and reduce consumption, leading to financial savings through reduced energy bills.
1. Provides quality data, frequently, to energy manager in order to take action to reduce consumption/investigate errors.
2. Reduced billing errors.
3. Elimination of estimated bills i.e. provides accurate billing.
4. No need to read the meters.
5. Reduced billing frequency with better data lead to risk reduction of 2-3%.
6. Financial benefit - provides the data to reduce consumption. Can yield 5-15% utility management savings.
7. Water leakage early detection.
8. Assists with Carbon emissions validation.
9. European Performance of Buildings Directive cost offsetting re compliance.
10. Accurate Accruals year-end time savings.
11. ISO14001 fast track benefits.
12. Essential tool for compliance with the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC).
IT Efficiency
IT equipment is a major contributor to an organisations electricity usage.
The first step is to understand the environmental impact of your IT operations. Taking advantage of an IT Green Audit we can help your business understand the environmental impact of its IT operations, while simultaneously checking how well it meets current business objectives.
You will then have the information needed in making technology more efficient, less costly to run and less damaging to the environment than ever before.
What We Think
Two hundred years ago the industrial revolution created the first economies based on fossil fuels. One hundred years ago the invention of the internal combustion engine strengthened the dependence. The achievements of the coal and oil ages have been immense, but the costs are all around us.
A new business paradigm is emerging. We envisage a time when the more environmentally-benign a business, the more likely it is to win customers or be allowed to continue to trade by regulators.
Private enterprise, free markets and clear government regulation will be needed to make this happen. Environmental technologies will play a vital role too; they will help us improve resource efficiency, reduce waste and utilise renewable and low carbon energy sources. We know that technologies are ready and available to solve the environmental problems that plague our planet today and thereby give it a much longer life span. We have the technologies and services that the planet requires.
