Energy Management
Energy Management is really the process of measuring, monitoring, controlling and conserving energy in a home or business.
Many believe that our future prosperity and economic success as a country, and the environmental wellbeing of our people, is very dependent on our ability to conserve and manage our resources: energy being one of the most vital!
Installing a control system to actively manage and control energy use, will be a positive for your bank balance and the planet!

As EECA Business Programme Partners we are also able to access grants and subsidies for companies who would like to reduce the energy use in their building, but are finding it hard to allocate the necessary capital. A Commercial Project Grant from EECA may fund up to 40% of the cost of your energy efficiency project.
Commercial buildings in New Zealand in many cases waste energy every day, creating unnecessary extra costs. You may be the tenant in such a building, or you may own or manage one. Energy efficient buildings cost less to run and are more comfortable, thus holding their value longer.
Buildings eligible for Commercial Project grants include offices, warehouses, retail outlets, medical facilities, hotels, supermarkets, educational establishments, etc. The grants may be used for:
- audit and works: upgrades or replacement of equipment such as lighting, refrigeration, air-conditioning and heating
- continuous commissioning: systems such as lighting control that adjust energy use in your building on a continuous basis, according to deman
- monitoring and targeting: systems that monitor energy use and identify areas where improvements can be made - helpful in identifying additional cost effective upgrades
As an EECA contracted provider, Intelligent Environments Ltd are able to help you work out your building needs, advise on the types of project that will provide most benefit, and carry out the installation of the necessary works.
Our services include the provision of energy audits, ranging from a simple walk through analysis, to a full energy survey and identification of modification projects that would significantly reduce energy use and costs, including calculations on return on investment.
If an energy efficiency project has already been identified, we can assist with the design and implementation of that project, and future maintenance to guarantee on-going savings.
