GHP Certification Support Service

This service is designed to provide on-site support for a business who wishes to commence the Certification Programme. We will meet with your Green Leader/Team and go through the Online Green Folder, Certification Programme, associated documents, workbooks and forms/templates.

We will also conduct a general walk-through of the property to identify any low-hanging fruit – quick wins.

The cost of a Certification GREENStart service is E995 per property

Combined Certification and Resource Efficiency Health Check

Additional to Certification support this service focuses on identifying cost saving opportunities for the business with a particular emphasis on energy reduction opportunities. It is designed as a general scoping service. The service will include;

– Benchmarking – Energy & Water, with a waste cost overview
– Site Visit – a half day site visit including an overnight stay for accommodation providers
– Review report including a Benchmarking Analysis with a focus on energy costs, Identification of Energy, Water & Waste efficiency opportunities, Energy project grant aid opportunities and other sustainability and cost saving opportunities that we can see.
– The Enhanced service includes a return site visit to review the report and agree an action plan as well as a certification implementation assessment.

Our initial focus is on No and Low-Cost proposals and we aim to identify at least E1,000 worth of no cost solutions for the business. Following this review, we will make a next step engagement proposal, if relevant. We assess what we feel will best suit your needs and business and put forward a proposal.
