Lighting the path to net zero: Why energy audits are your smartest move

Beyond the bill: Why a Commercial Energy Audit is your smartest organisational move

In today’s energy-conscious world, organisations are under increasing pressure to reduce costs, cut carbon, and demonstrate sustainability leadership. But where do you start when your energy data is scattered, your buildings are complex, and your goals are ambitious?

At TEAM Energy, we believe the answer is simple: start with insight.

What is a Commercial Energy Audit?

A Commercial Energy Audit is more than just a compliance checkbox, it’s a strategic tool that uncovers how your organisation uses energy and where it’s being wasted. Whether you’re a small organisation looking for quick wins or a large estate planning for net zero, our audits are tailored to your needs and aligned with ISO 50002 principles.

We offer four levels of audits:

  • Desktop Energy Audit: A virtual, cost-effective starting point
  • Comprehensive Energy Audit: On-site analysis with actionable recommendations
  • Advanced Energy Audit: Deep-dive diagnostics and benchmarking
  • Investment Grade Audit: High-detail insights for capital planning and funding.

Each audit is designed to identify opportunities for:

  • Reducing energy and water consumption
  • Cutting carbon emissions
  • Improving operational performance
  • Supporting funding applications and board-level decisions.

Real-world impact: Lighting the way to savings

One of the most common and overlooked areas for savings is lighting. Many organisations still rely on outdated, inefficient lighting systems that consume far more energy than necessary.

To help you visualise the potential, we’ve created a free tool – LED Lighting Energy Savings Calculator.

This simple calculator lets you input your current lighting setup and instantly see:

  • How much energy you could save by switching to LEDs
  • The annual cost savings
  • The CO₂ emissions you could avoid.

It’s a great first step for organisations exploring energy efficiency upgrades and a perfect example of the kind of insight our audits deliver at scale.

Why insight matters

Energy efficiency isn’t just about technology, it’s about data-driven decisions. Our audits give you the clarity to:

  • Prioritise investments
  • Build a business case for change
  • Track progress toward sustainability goals
  • Engage stakeholders with measurable impact.

And because every organisation is different, we tailor our approach to your estate, your operations, and your ambitions.
