You own and occupy it
The simplest case. You pay the bill and you own the roof, so the decision is yours alone.
You can act on anything: the roof, the plant, the fabric and the way the building is run. Nothing needs a third party to agree to it, and nothing needs a lease clause read first.
You pay the bill, so every unit saved is yours. That makes payback the whole question, and it is the only situation where the person funding the work and the person seeing the saving are the same.
The charges on the bill that need no spending at all: agreed capacity, network band, levy relief and the VAT rate. They get skipped because attention goes straight to the roof.
Before you spend anything on the building, it is worth checking what you are already being charged for it. Our guide to reading a commercial energy bill covers agreed capacity, network band and the levies, which is where the money usually sits.
Order the work by payback and by the age of what is already there, and take the free findings on the bill first. The report gives you the cost, the saving and the payback for each measure so the sequence is yours to set.
Every measure we model is set out on what we cover, and how it works runs through the four steps.
