SME Energy Check-Up
With this energy scan you get insight into your energy consumption and advice about energy-saving measures.
The energycheckup.nl has been developed to help both SMEs and consultants get a first impression of potential energy savings and relative performance on energy usage.
The main target group for the tool is SMEs in the following sectors in the Netherlands:
- Offices
- Storage buildings (warehouses)
- Hotels Restaurants and cafés
- Healthcare
- Retail (food / non-food)
- Data centers
The tool could be used in other countries but will lose some of its relevance.
What’s included?
- Relative energy usage compared to companies in the same sector and of similar size
- Indicative energy diagram showing for what purpose energy is used
- List of potentially interesting measures for energy saving, including an indication of payback time
Based on the output, the SME can decide which measures to put on their energy efficiency action plan and start contacting suppliers.
Required input:
This tool guides the user through the required information which includes the following:
- Energy use
- Building size
- Used heating and ventilation
- Used lighting
The SME Energy Check-up is a web-based tool and can be used by the SMEs themselves.
The tool can also be used by energy consultants or Trusted Partners (a neutral actor who drives the development of a local energy collective and supports the SMEs in tasks related to energy efficiency) to quickly get a first impression of building related energy usage at an SME.
