Energy efficiency: a real opportunity to save, comply and move towards a more sustainable enterprise
Did you know that many organizations waste between 10% and 30% of their energy without realizing it?
Not for lack of will, but because consumption is diluted among processes, equipment, habits and day-to-day operational decisions.
Energy efficiency is therefore no longer just an environmental issue: it is a strategic lever for reducing costs, complying with regulations and strengthening competitiveness. In an increasingly demanding regulatory context, optimizing energy use has become a necessity. And here energy audits play a key role.
The regulatory framework driving change
In Spain, Royal Decree 56/2016 obliges certain companies to carry out energy audits every four years, in line with the European Directive 2012/27/EU.
This implies:
- Analyze consumption and opportunities for improvement.
- Document the results.
- Keep the information in case of possible requirements of the competent body.
Beyond compliance, this obligation has become an opportunity for organizations to truly understand how and where they consume energy.
Energy auditing as a strategic tool
At EHS Techniques we understand the energy audit not as a formality, but as a tool for continuous improvement. We apply the UNE-EN 16247 standard, with a practical and business-oriented approach.
Real energy performance analysis
We identify hidden demands, consumption and patterns. We don’t just read meters: we look for the why behind every piece of data.
Many customers discover that:
- The air conditioning works after hours.
- Some equipment is oversized.
- There are processes that could be automated.
- Reactive energy generates unexpected costs.
2. Technical visit and joint work
We visit facilities, talk to the teams and understand the operation. Solutions only work if they are based on the reality of the production process.
3. Review of previous audits
We evaluate progress, deviations and reasons. This allows us to build an evolving vision of energy performance.
4. Improvement proposals with impact
They include feasible measures such as:
- Renewal of inefficient equipment.
- Process automation.
- Improvements in lighting, air conditioning or thermal envelopes.
- Reconfiguration of production equipment.
5. Regulatory compliance management
We assist in the submission of the form to the Ministry and in the preparation of the necessary documentation to ensure compliance and avoid administrative burdens.
CAE: financing to promote energy improvements
The Energy Saving Certificates (CAE), regulated by Royal Decree 36/2023, have become an accessible way to finance efficiency investments. The regulation is moving towards a more agile and digital system, which makes it easier for companies to obtain an economic return for actions such as the renovation of thermal systems, modernization of lighting or improvements in air conditioning and ventilation.
At EHS Techniques we accompany the entire process: we identify which actions can generate CAE, prepare the necessary documentation and manage the processing with the authorized agents to ensure that each project takes full advantage of this mechanism.
Energy efficiency is not just a regulatory obligation: it is a real opportunity to improve performance, reduce costs and move towards a more sustainable, competitive and future-proof business model.
