A Carbon Survey normally consists of around 12 hours of support per business, provided free of charge by our Technical Advisors.
When you apply, you will need to provide us with 12 months’ energy data such as bills or meter readings. More information about what you could provide can be found in our Energy Data Guidance.
During the survey, we will assess the fabric, heating and lighting systems in your building, as well as discuss your business operations and equipment with you.
A few weeks after we visit, we will send you a Carbon Report which will summarise our findings and recommendations.
