The criteria for inclusion to ESOS is not entirely straightforward, but essentially it applies to any large undertaking that carries out a trade or a business (typically a Company), and any corporate group where at least one member of the UK group meets the ESOS criteria. A large undertaking is one that employs at least 250 people or has an annual turnover in excess of €50 million and a balance sheet in excess of €43 million. Most public sector bodies are excluded, but some, such as many Universities may qualify.

To comply with the regulations, a ‘Lead Energy Assessor’ will need to conduct an ESOS Assessment to: Measure your total energy consumption for buildings, industrial processes and transport Identify areas of significant energy consumption, accounting for at least 90% of your total energy consumption Identify cost-effective energy efficiency recommendations for areas of significant energy consumption Report compliance to the Environment Agency Organisations may not need to undertake the Assessment if are fully covered by ISO 50001. We are also working with organisations to help them achieve ISO 50001. Call our advisors on 00353 (0)71 9611722 to find out more about these services.
