Management and audits

01

Quality, environmental and energy management

Your management system should support everyday work, not just the next audit. We help you develop systems under ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001.

  • Build on your existing processes and responsibilities
  • Assess energy, quality and environmental aspects, as well as risks
  • Make targets and performance indicators useful to your teams
  • Focus documentation on the evidence you need
  • Combine requirements shared by your systems

You keep track of actions, evidence and improvements. We clarify the applicable standard edition at the start of the project.

02

Internal audits and certification preparation

Your external audit is approaching and you want to know what still needs attention? We review implementation and discuss findings with your team.

  • Agree audit scope and criteria for your system
  • Review evidence through interviews, samples and documents
  • Receive factual findings linked to the relevant criteria
  • Agree actions and responsibilities
  • Prepare management review and certification

You know which evidence is available and what remains open. The independent certification body makes the certification decision.

03

Energy audits under DIN EN 16247-1 and EDL-G

Is your next energy audit approaching, or are you unsure whether your business is affected? We clarify the requirements and support you through to the report.

  • Clarify your entities, sites and deadlines under the current German EDL-G
  • Agree data collection that fits your working day
  • Review equipment with the people responsible on site
  • Receive technically and economically assessed savings measures
  • Prepare the audit report and required evidence

Your audit becomes manageable. Proposed EDL-G changes are kept separate from obligations that already apply.

Energy audits: process and common questions

Energy and efficiency

04

Energy consulting and tailored savings concepts

Your energy costs are rising, but you are unsure where savings are possible? We review your operation and identify changes worth considering.

  • Understand which equipment and operating hours drive your costs
  • Have consumption and cost data checked for gaps and unusual patterns
  • Develop suitable technical measures with your team
  • Receive priorities that fit your budget and production

You know where to start and which information is still needed for your next decisions.

05

Planning and prioritising energy efficiency measures

You are considering new equipment. Which option suits your operation? We compare the alternatives before you commit.

  • Review existing equipment and operating conditions
  • Compare technical options, investment and operating costs
  • Assess energy and carbon savings with documented assumptions
  • Account for interfaces, downtime and implementation risks
  • Agree a prioritised action plan

You can explain the investment case and coordinate production, maintenance and financing.

06

Sports facilities and infrastructure

Match days, training and events place different demands on your facilities. We help you reduce energy costs while maintaining reliable operation.

  • Account for your match, training and event schedules
  • Align floodlights, pitch heating, ventilation, heating and cooling with use
  • Include catering, pumps and charging infrastructure
  • Assess peak loads, on-site supply and operating hours
  • Coordinate measures with maintenance and events

You can develop your facilities in stages, taking account of operational reliability, comfort and future energy supply.

Climate and transformation

07

Transformation concepts

You need to cut emissions while planning replacements and maintaining reliable supply? We develop a roadmap for your site with you.

  • Agree which sites and emissions to include
  • Identify your main energy uses and emission sources
  • Define targets with achievable milestones
  • Assess alternatives and their operational interactions
  • Coordinate investment, timing and possible funding

Your roadmap shows the most useful first steps and the longer-term decisions to prepare.

08

Decarbonisation strategies

Heat pumps, waste heat or a different supply concept? We help you reduce emissions while meeting your process requirements.

  • Assess emission avoidance before offsetting
  • Compare electrification and renewable supply for your site
  • Review waste heat, temperatures and heat recovery together
  • Account for grid connection, production and existing infrastructure
  • Identify stages, investment needs and dependencies

You can make near-term improvements without unnecessarily restricting future investment choices.

09

Greenhouse gas and carbon accounting

Customers are asking for emissions data, or you want to set climate targets? We prepare an inventory suited to your purpose and available data.

  • Agree the purpose, sites and relevant emission categories
  • Get support with consumption and activity data
  • Document emission factors and assumptions
  • Understand which areas contribute most to your emissions
  • See data gaps and uncertainty in the results

You receive a traceable basis for customer enquiries, internal targets and emission-reduction measures.

Economics and funding

10

Economic assessment under DIN EN 17463 (VALERI)

Is your investment worthwhile, and does the assessment support the environmental measures required for your relief scheme? We prepare economic evidence to help you meet the applicable statutory requirements.

  • Compare investment, savings, operating costs and risk
  • Calculate net present value under VALERI using documented assumptions
  • For German BECV claims, consider section 11(2) BECV and evidence under section 12 BECV
  • Distinguish environmental countermeasures under section 30 no. 3 EnFG from implementation plans under section 9 EnEfG
  • Understand the effects of energy prices, utilisation and useful life

You receive a technical and economic basis for decisions and evidence. Eligibility, reference year and required confirmations are assessed separately; statutory confirmations remain the responsibility of authorised bodies.

11

Funding advice

You are planning an investment and do not want to lose funding through an early order? We review suitable programmes and help prepare the technical application.

  • Review BAFA, KfW, NRW.BANK and other programmes for your project
  • Clarify technical requirements and evidence
  • Prepare technical savings concepts covering the baseline, proposed measure and documented energy, resource and carbon savings where required
  • Coordinate technical application documents, quotations and planning
  • Review funding levels, state aid, combinations and post-award obligations

Please contact us before ordering or signing a contract. The permissible start may depend on application, approval or explicit permission for an early start.
