In order to be able to reduce your energy consumption, you will need to carry out a thorough energy audit. This will usually be much better if it is carried out by an energy consultant or an energy management company. Quite often it is very difficult to see the wood from the trees when it is your own company, run by your own board of directors. Many people don’t always want change and can only see the money being spent and think that simply by turning off the heating in the factories, the energy consumption will reduce along with their carbon emissions.

You might also be interested in talking to a renewable energy consultant, as using renewable energy, might also put you in a very good position when it comes to playing your climate change tax. Whatever you decide to do, it is best that it is done and audited by a professional.
