ENWORKS Resource Efficiency Programme
Learning objectives
• To gain a basic understanding of:• energy consumption• monitoring• control
• Identify potential savings & share best practice
![Page 5: The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Resource Efficiency Training Add venue Name of advisors](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061510/56649d245503460f949fa9a5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
ENWORKS Resource Efficiency Programme
Why focus on energy?
• All companies use some form of energy – gas, electricity & fuel
• Because most companies can reduce their energy bills by 20%
• Because legislation and other Government initiatives are forcing us
• Often a company’s major environmental impact
• Because £12 billion of energy is wasted in the UK every year (Action Energy)

The Water Cycle
![Page 108: The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Resource Efficiency Training Add venue Name of advisors](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061510/56649d245503460f949fa9a5/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Why focus on water?
• It can be a significant cost
• It may be an underestimated cost
• There are cost savings to be made
• Costs are increasing
• Legislation is forcing us – discharge consent
• Considerable fines for breaching this legislation
![Page 109: The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Resource Efficiency Training Add venue Name of advisors](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061510/56649d245503460f949fa9a5/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Water management
• Similar approach to energy management
• Monitoring – over time and against production
• Common areas of savings

Water billing and purchasing
• No possibility to negotiate water supply
• Check bills (meter number, meter readings, estimates, maths…)
• Key water cost components:• Water consumption• Sewerage – waste water disposal• Sewerage – surface water• Trade effluents
![Page 111: The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Resource Efficiency Training Add venue Name of advisors](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061510/56649d245503460f949fa9a5/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Are you charged correctly?
• Water not returned to sewers• Water used in production/evaporated• Grassed area• Local streams
• Rateable value• Size of meter • Fixed rate charges based on meter • Reduce size of meter
![Page 112: The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Resource Efficiency Training Add venue Name of advisors](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061510/56649d245503460f949fa9a5/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
