The Advisory Report contains recommendations for possible improvements regarding energy consumption within the building, including low-cost operational and management improvements, improvements to the building fabric or services and opportunities for the installation of Low and Zero Carbon (LZC) technologies.
The report enables the occupier to identify what may be done to improve building energy management, building services, and therefore reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.
The advisory report lists the recommendations by payback period as follows:
• Short-term – Up to 3 years – e.g. building energy management measures
• Medium-term – 3-7 years – e.g. upgrading building services
• Long-term – More than 7 years – e.g. Low and Zero Carbon (LZC) technologies
