From ESOS and EU EED to ISO 50001 readiness and verified M&V, the audits, baselines and compliance evidence that satisfy the regulator and surface real savings.
Energy Audit & Compliance is where a regulatory obligation becomes a decision-ready plan. We quantify how a site actually uses energy, route it to the right compliance scheme, and turn the findings into a prioritised, costed set of opportunities.
The work spans statutory audits (ESOS, EU EED), carbon and energy baselines, metering and data assessments, ISO 50001 readiness, IPMVP-grade measurement and verification, EEOS funding submissions and the decarbonisation roadmaps that turn the findings into a phased plan. It is built for organisations that have to comply, and would rather leave with a working improvement plan than a certificate in a drawer.
What we deliver
The Energy Audit & Compliance services
Audits, baselines, compliance, measurement & verification and decarbonisation planning, each delivered by engineers, each built to stand up to scrutiny.
01 / 04
Decarbonisation Roadmaps
Engineering-led, phased decarbonisation plans for industrial sites that have a carbon target and a list of ideas, but no clear, costed sequence connecting today's actions to net zero.
An engineering-led assessment, carried out in line with ISO 50002, for large pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and chemical manufacturing sites, where energy is a material cost and carbon targets are already in place.
An IS 399-aligned review of your capital project's design while it can still change, so energy performance is engineered into the project before capital is committed, not discovered as a missed opportunity after installation.
Every audit is run by engineers who can act on what they find, so the output is an opportunity list you can build, not a compliance document that gets filed and forgotten.
02
Regulator-ready, first time
ESOS, EU EED, EEOS and ISO 50001 submissions structured to be accepted, with the evidence trail each scheme actually requires.
03
Investment-grade numbers
Each opportunity carries an estimate, IRR and payback, so finance can prioritise capital with confidence instead of guesswork.
04
Measured, not modelled
Savings are verified to the IPMVP protocol, so what was promised is what shows up on the meter.
On a typical compliance programme, EM3 turns the obligation into a working asset: total energy and carbon quantified, a route to compliance assigned, and a prioritised opportunity list with investment estimates, IRR and payback.
The value is not the certificate, it is leaving with a regulator-ready submission and a set of measures the site can actually act on, with the savings verified to IPMVP once they are delivered.
It depends on where you operate and your size. In Ireland and the EU, large undertakings fall under the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EU EED); in the UK the equivalent is ESOS. We assess which scheme applies, the deadline, and the lightest compliant route, audit, ISO 50001, or a mix across sites.
Is an energy audit just a compliance tick?
It does not have to be. A compliant audit can stop at the minimum, or it can quantify the site's real opportunities with costs, IRR and payback. We do the second, the submission satisfies the regulator and the opportunity list earns its keep.
How long does an audit take?
A single-site audit is typically a few weeks from site visit to report; a multi-site compliance programme is staged across the portfolio. We scope the timeline to your deadline up front so nothing is left to the last minute.
Do you verify that the savings actually happened?
Yes. Measurement & Verification is carried out to the IPMVP protocol, with a baseline and a transparent method, so the savings claimed are the savings on the meter, not a model.
Can you take us all the way to ISO 50001?
Yes. We run the readiness gap assessment, then the implementation and ongoing maintenance, so the standard becomes a working energy-management system rather than a binder for the auditor.
