Building Energy Audits & Energy Management Support
Energy Efficiency.
Engineered by Science.
Practical building energy audits for lower bills, less waste and better control of your building.
Oxford Energy Services helps building managers, facilities teams and operations managers understand where energy is being wasted — and what to do about it.
If you manage a building and have been asked to reduce energy costs, improve energy performance or report progress to senior management, OES can help you get a clear, practical plan.

Start with an audit. Continue with practical support.
Building Energy Audit
One building. Practical diagnosis. Clear next steps.
A building energy audit is the best starting point if you are unsure where energy is being used or wasted.
- Electricity and gas use
- Half-hourly electricity data, where available
- Night load and out-of-hours consumption
- Heating, lighting and controls
- Plant and operational issues
- Quick wins and capital measures worth investigating
You receive a concise summary of what is happening in the building, where the main opportunities are and what should be done next.
