Support Scheme for Energy Audits
SEAI’s Support Scheme for Energy Audits (SSEA) will offer SMEs a €2,000 voucher towards the cost of a high-quality energy audit. In most cases, this will cover the total cost of the audit. Application to the scheme is easy, with automatic approval for eligible businesses.
What an Energy Audit Involves
An energy audit is an important step for businesses wanting to save money, energy, and enhance their brand. An energy audit may be carried out on buildings, processes, or systems, and it is a three-step process which involves preparation, a site visit and reporting. The audit report that compiles the findings will help you to understand:
- How much energy your business uses
- The equipment and processes that use the most energy
- What actions you should take to save energy, and their estimated cost and impact
Benefits of an Energy Audit
