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, I can help you get a clear, practical plan.

The focus is simple:

less energy waste, lower bills, better control of your building.

No jargon. No generic net zero waffle. Just practical building energy diagnosis and support.

Building Energy Audit — £1,500

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.

The audit looks at:

• electricity and gas use

• half-hour electricity data where available

• night load and out-of-hours energy use

• heating, lighting, controls and plant

• obvious operational problems

• practical quick wins

• 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.

This is designed for busy facilities and operations teams who need useful answers, not another long report that sits on a shelf.

Standard fee: £1,500 per building

Energy Management Support — £500/month

Ongoing support when you need a second pair of eyes

Many organisations do not need a full-time energy manager, but they do need someone experienced who can look at the data, sense-check proposals and help keep energy actions moving.

Energy Management Support gives you practical help during the year, including:

• regular review of energy data

• night-load and out-of-hours checks

• maintaining an energy opportunities register

• reviewing contractor quotes

• advice on heating, lighting, controls and solar PV

• energy action planning

• board-level energy updates

• annual energy and emissions summaries

• SECR support where relevant

This is for organisations that want calm, practical support without creating a large consultancy project.

Typical fee: £500/month

Free 30-Minute Building Energy Discussion

Not sure where to start?

Book a free 30-minute discussion about your building, your energy use or a specific problem you are trying to solve.

This is not a sales call. It is a useful conversation.

You might want to discuss:

• high energy bills

• heating or controls problems

• night-time electricity use

• whether an energy audit is worthwhile

• a contractor quote you are unsure about

• what to tell the board about energy reduction

• how to start managing energy more systematically

Other support available

Although the main focus is building energy audits and energy management support, I can also help with related work where useful.

This includes:

• contractor quote review

• solar PV sense-checks

• heating and electrification options

• energy action plans

• SECR and annual energy reporting

• board-level energy briefings

• practical decarbonisation advice for buildings

• short energy management workshops

Training and workshops

I also provide short, practical workshops for facilities, estates and operations teams.

The main workshop is:

Energy Management in Buildings — 2-hour practical workshop

This gives staff a clear understanding of how buildings use energy, where energy is commonly wasted, and what practical actions can reduce costs.

It can be delivered online or in person, and can be adapted to your buildings, data and current challenges.

Start with a conversation

If you manage a building and want to reduce energy waste, the easiest starting point is a short discussion.

Bring a question, a problem, a bill, a data issue or a contractor quote.

I’ll help you work out what is worth looking at next.
