Our Services
Northmore Gordon customises energy optimisation programs to suit our client’s needs.
The three core actions are:
Energy Audit
Energy management system
Energy performance
improvement plan
Energy Optimisation simply means, that your energy is being used in the most productive way possible and is not being wasted. One of the primary advantages of energy optimisation is that it reduces your environmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions. This is particularly important in today’s world, where sustainability and corporate social responsibility are more critical than ever before.
Our technical experts can assist with all elements of your energy optimisation, from energy audits to find out where energy waste occurs, to feasilibility studies, or more comprehensive energy management systems.
We can assist you in a range of services; optimising your energy usage, increasing the productivity of your equipment, implementing energy efficiency projects, discovering options for procurement and access funding through government grants and environmental certificates.
Whether you are just beginning your energy efficiency journey or need detailed technical guidance, our team of experts can assist with your optimisation plans.

Energy Audits provide a foundation for understanding energy flows through your site, where energy waste occurs, and where there are opportunities to improve performance. Audits vary in their scope and cost (see below for a comparison)
| Item | Type 1 Audit | Energy Opportunity Assessment | Type 2 Audit | Type 3 Audit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall intent | Simple opportunity identification | Broad energy breakdown, focus on opportunities | Standard site-wide audit | Detailed audit focussed on a sub-system |
| Summarise utility data | Y | Y | Y | Y |
| Daily consumption profiles | Optional | Optional | Y | Y |
| Detailed energy-use breakdown | High level | Broad | Y | Subsystem only |
| Compare Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) to other sites | N | Y | Y | Y |
| Estimate savings if SEC met | N | Y | Y | Y |
| Estimate capital project costs and savings | For key opportunities | Y | Y | Y |
| Use of data loggers | N | Optional | Optional | Y |
| General description of EEOs | Y | Y | Y | Y |
| Financial analysis of EEOs | Broad estimate from rule of thumb or | Y | Y | Y |
| Detailed descriptions of recommended EEOs | N | Y | Y | Y |
| Precision of cost estimates for EEOs | Broad | Broad | Med | Higher |
| Sankey diagrams of energy flows | N | Optional | Optional | Optional |
| Site staff participation | LOW | LOW-MED | LOW-MED | MED |
| Reporting | 2-5 pg | + 10-20pg | 20-60 pg | 20-40pg |
An Energy Management System (EnMS) is a program and management system that facilitates continuous improvement of energy management in order to achieve a culture of energy performance in an organisation.
For sites with less mature energy management practices, the core of an EnMS is like a traditional Energy Audit, with a detailed review of energy usage at the facility and identification of energy efficiency opportunities, and preparation of an Action Plan to achieve improvements towards an agreed energy performance target.
Our Services include:
- ISO50001 accreditation
- EnMS Review and Gap analysis
- Set benchmarks and EnPIs
- Set baselines
- Metering Plan
- Action Plan
To make any investment decision, a feasibility study is often needed. NG has completed feasibility studies for:
- heat pumps
- waste-to-energy and waste heat recovery
- cogeneration
- compressed air upgrades
- biomassBiomass is plant or animal material used to produce electricity or heat. Examples include forestry by-products, crop waste, animal waste and food processing waste. Biomass is considered a renewable energy fuel if it comes from a sustainably managed source. More boiler and steam turbines
- biogas to boilers
- pumping systems
- chiller systems
- etc
NG has completed detailed measurement and performance benchmarking of compressed air systems. contact us if you need to understand how well, or poorly your systems is performing. We can provide:
- Benchmarking of performance (kWh/Nm3)
- Dew point measurement
- Temporary flow and power measurement
- Metering plan
- Ongoing performance measurement and reporting
- Control strategy
- Leak audits
NG has completed detailed measurement and performance benchmarking of chilled water systems. Contact us if you need to understand how well, or poorly your systems is performing. We can provide:
