RAP & Cenergy

If understanding your energy spend and reducing your costs is important to your business an energy audit, smart meter and energy management plan will address this and also reduce your carbon footprint.

The first problem is beginning to understand the ‘Green’ way of life being introduced to businesses with higher users even having to address regulatory CRC (Carbon Reduction Commitment) – a mandatory energy efficiency scheme for organisations with an electricity usage of 6,000MWh and above through half hourly meters.

For smaller SME’s who would appreciate reduced business expenditure the frightening thing is who is going to take on the role?

With everyone seeming to be working harder in a recovering economic climate businesses have little resource or time to spend researching and understanding the opportunities that are available in this emerging field.
A partnership between RAP Interiors, the South East’s known refurbishment contractor and Cenergy, a highly specialised energy consultancy is bringing light to the end of the tunnel for small and large energy users alike.

Whether considering a refurbishment or not (- the ideal time to build in low energy systems) of your business interior , RAP & Cenergy are providing advice and solutions in a language that helps business owners understand and address the whole energy picture.

A high standard of energy efficiency reflects well on an organisation as it is a good indication of high management standards and corporate and social responsibility.

Energy and cost efficiency of any building or development is a result of the careful integrated design of fabric, air tightness, and building services installations such as; controls, lighting, heating, hot water generation ventilation, air conditioning and renewable energy provision.


Julie Anderson, Director of RAP along with Stuart Howe of Cenergy are committed to saving their customers money, by highlighting true opportunities, explaining government incentive schemes and assisting to implement the improvements.

Stuart comments that from small changes to large corporate energy reduction solutions they are saving money for all their clients, some of whom were at first were unsure how to undertake the process. “From the initial conception of an actual development site we conduct feasibility studies and advise clients on air source heat systems, boiler installations, Solar and Solar PV, to wind turbine installations”. Evidence of a highly energy efficient new development will be seen on the KCC Springfield Library development, due for completion next year, where Cenergy has been working as the building services and sustainability consultant for Warings the sites developer.

From RAP’s point of view their office and educational refurbishment services, can benefit their clients by integrating energy efficient systems into their schemes which will reduce their carbon footprint, ‘even a low energy lighting system can make the world of difference’. Proof is in the pudding by the reports coming from smart meter installations which show substantial energy reductions. “From there we work with clients to implement the changes and install the chosen energy savings ideas. Installation of a Smart Meter is the best place to start, as understanding your energy use is the first stage” comments Julie from RAP.

There is a big need for our bills in business to be reduced and continuously hunting around for the best tariff provider is a thankless task. A permanent cut in spending is a more effective route for businesses and we understand all of the latest incentives and speak in a language business owners understand.

“We’re definitely not from planet Zorg “says Julie & Stuart!
