Energy Efficiency Measures
Actions taken to reduce energy consumption and emissions during the reporting period
What is Energy Efficiency Measures?
SECR requires a narrative description of energy efficiency measures taken during the financial year. This should cover principal measures, their impact, and any measures taken for purely environmental benefit even if they don't save money.
Why It Matters for SECR
The energy efficiency narrative is a mandatory SECR requirement. Simply stating 'no measures taken' is non-compliant if opportunities were available.
