Stroma a measured approach to energy reduction in buildings
The challenges facing the UK SME market in terms of energy use should not be ignored. Against a back drop of increasing prices and dwindling supplies, those companies who can decrease their energy demand will see a tangible decrease in their running costs and increase in their profitability. However, the solution employed must be carefully thought through to ensure that maximum running cost improvements are achieved for the lowest capital investment.
Stroma’s phased approach aims to reduce operating costs by up to fifty percent in existing commercial buildings, Furthermore our expert knowledge of available funding allows businesses to take advantage of various financial schemes, which negate or maximize the need for upfront capital expenditure.
