A new occupiers’ survey has shown that sustainable buildings are at the bottom of most business owner’s checklists when looking for new premises.
The research, which questioned 150 business owners in the Midlands, found that just 13.6% of occupiers would cite sustainability as a major factor in a move decision.
Factors which rated more highly were location (87.9%), quality (69.7%), and dedicated car parking (68.2%). However, it’s worth noting that having these factors does not necessarily mean a business has to compromise on sustainability.
Importance of sustainability
Eaton Electrical always recommend the most energy efficient systems and materials to our customers, and can perform detailed lighting and heating energy audits to identify energy wastage in their current or new premises. This helps to both slash business energy bills and reduce business’ carbon footprints, improving the sustainability of each business.
The auditor will take the time to understand a business and how it uses energy, as well as providing a detailed analysis of the business’ existing installation. Furthermore, Eaton Electrical will take into account any budgetary limitations, giving the most cost effective solutions to reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint.
