ENERGY EFFICIENCY


MANDATORY ENERGY AUDIT OF A COMPANY

In connection with the introduction of the Energy Efficiency Act of 20 May 2016, we offer the performance of energy audits for large companies based on the PN-EN 16247 standard. The standard audit report includes a detailed analysis of the company's energy consumption in the areas of processes, buildings and transport, as well as the identification of areas of significant losses and proposals for improving energy efficiency. The scope of the audit can be extended and tailored to the individual needs of the client. The next audit is scheduled for 2025. 


WHITE CERTIFICATES

We identify projects that are eligible to apply for White Certificates and provide a comprehensive service both in terms of carrying out the necessary energy efficiency audits and submitting applications. With many years of experience in implementing the White Certificate process, we offer a comprehensive service and remuneration is determined and settled on a 'success fee' basis. 


ENERGY EFFICIENCY AUDIT

We carry out audits, analyses and studies of technology, energy and electricity processes required to obtain funding from external sources, including EU funding. Such studies include an analysis of the energy consumption and condition of a facility, technical equipment or installation, as well as information on the economic viability and amount of energy savings that can be achieved.

ENERGY TRANSITION


BUILDING ENERGY AUDIT

We carry out building energy audits, which include an economic and energy analysis of possible improvements to the building, together with the selection of the optimum level of modernisation work. The aim is to reduce energy consumption and operating costs. The analysis carried out as part of the audit includes all elements of the building envelope, installations and equipment related to energy consumption.


SPECIALISED CALCULATIONS FOR BUILDINGS 

KAPE provides specialist energy studies and analysis to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings, as well as analysis and optimisation at the design stage. 

We support the decarbonisation of commercial and public buildings, including the analysis of the carbon footprint over the entire building life cycle. We carry out analyses taking into account current national (Energy Performance of Buildings Regulation) and European (Taxonomy, EPBD Directive) legislation.


CARBON FOOTPRINT CALCULATION

We provide comprehensive support to clients in investigating the size of the carbon footprint of an organisation or specific products. We calculate GHG emissions (in all 3 scopes) based on the GHG Protocol standard or ISO 14064-1, depending on the organisation's needs. 

Knowing the carbon footprint of an organisation or product is one of the most important environmental factors for a company's key stakeholders to assess, and will be a mandatory element of the non-financial ESG report from 2025.


CORPORATE DECARBONISATION STRATEGY

We develop long-term decarbonisation strategies for companies. As part of this, we develop multi-variant scenarios for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 

We provide support from experienced energy efficiency and renewable energy experts to optimise the most efficient use of energy, raw materials and resources, while reducing emissions and maximising the use of renewable energy. We also assist clients in successfully obtaining available funding for the investment activities outlined in the developed strategy.


GREEN BONDS - SECOND PARTY OPINION

We prepare an independent expert opinion (Second Party Opinion - SOP) for a Green Bond issue, regarding the green nature of the emission, in accordance with the Green Bond Principles standards set by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA).

The SOP includes an assessment of the emitter's key documents defining the policies, principles and compliance with the Green Bond business standards.

EXPERT REPORTS FOR THE DISTRICT HEATING SECTOR

We take into account the current legislation and adjust the possibilities to the given topic.

In our studies we take into account the application of guidelines that contribute to the implementation of the transformation of the district heating sector in Poland towards emission-free and energy-efficient systems.
