October 2010 - Zero Trace Launch The Energy Consultancy Solution
Following the success of the EPC Plus Zero Trace have launched a comprehensive energy consultancy service aimed at not only improving a buildings EPC rating, but reducing the annual running costs for its occupants and landlords.
The new Energy Consultancy Solution begins with a three month energy monitoring period, during which site visits take place to identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption via habitual changes and investments into the infrastructure of the building. Once the energy usage data is received it is also used as a tool for identifying energy usage anomalies and possibilities for habitual changes.
Following the initial investigation stage this information is presented to the client with an action plan for the coming year, during which the Zero Trace team will stay on to ensure initiatives take place and that savings are made.
Whats the most exciting part of this new service? Its accessible to anyone no matter their financial situation, because there is no fee to pay until savings have been made.
For more information have a look at our consultancy page.
August 2010 - NFU Mutual continue with the EPC Plus
Zero Trace Ltd have been instructed this month by the NFU Mutual to carry out EPC Plus assessments on a number of retail assets in London.
With energy efficiency being so high on the agenda for public facing companies such as retail outlets, requirements for high green credentials have become more prevalent.
Through initial investigation and the recalculation of the EPC ratings with a more stringent eye on details such as thermal efficiencies, the EPC rating in one case has risen from a G to an E.
Case studies on this work will be published later in the year.
March 2010 - Zero Trace work with Green LED
One of the country's leading LED lighting suppliers Green LED, has contracted Zero Trace in a monitoring capacity to provide an independent assessments of the savings capable by their LED lighting products.
During a trial at a high street branch of Goldsmiths jewellers Zero Trace installed temporary monitoring equipment across all lighting circuits within the store for a one week period before the trial began. Once the trial lighting was installed, an additional week of monitoring was carried out. Comparisons were then made between the energy consumptions from each week to find the overall saving achievable with LED lighting.
For the results of the trial please read through our case study.

November 08 - Zero Trace Launches the EPC Plus
It's here, the EPC Plus.
With the importance of EPC ratings on the rise and talks of ratings being connected to the building rating system the EPC Plus is the best way to improve your EPC. Unlike the standard recommendation report included in a generic EPC, the EPC Plus shows the exact impact that a specific action will have on the EPC rating of your build, it will even show you the cost of implementing that recommendation.
As an added benefit the EPC Plus is also able to combine a range of actions to achieve the highest ratings with varying levels of cost.
For more information check out the EPC Plus page or get in touch for no obligation initial consultancy.
