Hawley Energy Consultants

Who are we and what do we do?
We are Independent Energy Management Specialists. This means we have no allegiances to any brand or methodology; so our expertise is completely tailored to our clients’ needs.

Our deliverable is this: we advise, consider and implement the most relevant and sustainable solution aligned to our client needs - not ours!

Energy Audits – what’s involved?
Our advised first step as they are factual, reviewable, defined by your business ‘actuals’. Energy Management is data driven. Usage data is varied, complex and can often be misunderstood. The key point is to understand what data is relevant.

Our specialist team covers all elements of energy input and output, including Electricity, Gas and alternative energy creation.

• An energy audit will identify energy-saving opportunities, it will help you understand your energy usage and ways to use energy better.
• An energy audit can identify safety concerns with electrical systems, wiring, and ventilation, thus making your business safer.
• An energy audit can help to identify leaks and wastage.
• An energy audit will assist in sustainable energy investment.
• An energy audit will help you identify how to reduce hazards such as Carbon Monoxide.

Outcomes of Energy audits
The result is a reviewable set of data which give options that are designed to optimise, reduce usage and structure the business energy needs.

Our Mission is to reduce your costs whilst not costing the earth

We use a variety of equipment and techniques:
Data Loggers - these show in detail where, when, what areas are consuming energy. Once understood many options become available, aimed at reducing usage and fiscal cost; as well as supporting sustainability

Voltage Optimisation (VO) Electrical equipment requires an optimised level of power input to operate efficiently. Where input is in excess of or conversely does not meet true need, then energy is wasted this waste is measurable and offers you an opportunity to reduce costs and overall usage.

Building Management Systems (BMS) Often these systems are installed without full appreciation of the usage needs and specific benefits. We advise on the best approach; we provide a design strategy and install the system. Systems can control the activity, the availability and access to items such as lighting, heating, air-conditioning, hot water generation along with Solar Energy, electric vehicle charging and much more.

As an Energy reduction initiative Businesses rely on facts to make decisions these facts are becoming more complex in aligning to Government and quasi - Government agencies. The combination of a structured energy audit, data analysis and ongoing use of VO and BMS delivers the structure and real reductions that can also be an integral part of fulfilling overall sustainable energy policies.

As your Improvement plan establishes on an ongoing basis we support our clients in a number of other energy related areas such as:
LED lighting - we design and install either replacement or new
Solar panels and storage – we design and install as an integrated system or standalone.
Electrical Supply Grid Connections – In any form of electrical generation, liaison and notification with electricity operators is vital.

We at Hawley Energy are experts in supporting all types of grid connection agreements and can manage infrastructure upgrades or reductions on your behalf.

Electric Vehicle strategy, system design and installation. This is a complex area as specialist knowledge is required to be applied to the project delivery as space, skills and Business continuity need to be fully considered.

Specialist heating systems such as ground source, air source & water source heat pumps
We have considerable expertise in the design, installation and regrettably; correction of poorly specified systems. To be clear this technology is highly efficient but is not always the best approach. We are advocates but first and foremost we are pragmatic in definition of best solution.

Biofuel systems including combining with Solar Energy - These systems can be delivered as pure biofuel either liquified or in pellet form. We are experienced in combining a range of ‘sustainable’ solutions. Solar generation and storage are often a combination that has significant benefits in reducing risk of failure or geographic related failure.

CHP - Cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP) - we are design install and measurement specialisms in this area. The use of CHP is best utilised where there is a variety of energy solutions in place. The key deliverable is to utilise waste heat, power from one area into a positive use in another. It is not exclusive to large energy users but the Energy audit we undertake will assist in the identification of CHP options.

When it comes to energy - whatever the question, whatever the issue - Hawley Energy can always assist.
