B2B Energy 12 Days of Christmas – Day 8

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening! Welcome to B2B Energy’s 12 Days of Christmas. First, let me wish you all a very Happy NewYear! I hope you’ve enjoyed the festive season and found value in the messages I’ve shared.

As we step into the New Year, it’s the perfect time to set resolutions. This year, I want to challenge you with a simple but impactful resolution: every day, take a meter reading for your building—whether it’s for gas, electricity, or both. Track your organisation’s energy usage daily.

-Here’s how to approach it:

-Take a daily reading.

-Log the data consistently.

Monitor your usage over time and identify areas for improvement.

Let’s turn this into a month-long challenge. New Year’s resolutions often fade away, but a focused effort over one month can yield significant results. Make it a game—see how much you can reduce your energy consumption each day.

We’ve worked with an organisation over the past two years using a simple system to collect daily data, and the result? They reduced their energy consumption by an impressive 60%, simply by tracking and analysing daily usage.

Starting this habit in 2025 can set you on the path to long-term energy savings. It’s a straightforward first step, and as you continue, it will evolve naturally.

Here’s to a brighter and more efficient New Year! Let’s make this resolution count. Happy New Year, everyone!

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, and welcome to B2B Energy's 12 Days of Christmas. Today is Day Seven, and it’s the 31st of December—slowly saying goodbye to 2024 and, more excitingly, preparing to welcome in 2025. What I want to talk about today is: Have you created your training plan for next year? I’m a strong believer in lifelong learning.

In just nine days, I’ll be turning 61, and I’m not afraid to admit it. But I continue to prioritise learning. I never stand still, and I firmly believe in the importance of ongoing education. With that in mind, I’ve developed a training platform to help individuals continue their learning journey in energy management.

Every week, we share an article or valuable information to help you deepen your knowledge of energy management—whether you're working within an organization or as an individual. If you’re interested, I’m offering discounts on my training programs. Please feel free to direct message me or click the link, and I’ll get in touch to discuss how we can support your lifelong learning journey.

It’s a simple process to get started, and we’d be delighted to help you grow in your role as an energy manager or energy expert in our industry.

B2 B Energy 12 Days of Christmas – Day 6

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, and welcome to B2B Energy's 12 Days of Christmas. Today marks Day Six, and we're officially halfway through this exciting journey.

I want to take a moment to talk about something that is very close to my heart: networking and collaboration.

As an energy expert in this industry, I don’t believe in having competitors. If you look at the people I engage with regularly, you’ll see that I often collaborate with many other energy experts. You might wonder, why would I do that? Why would I share my knowledge with others in the same field?

The answer is simple: collaboration is a two-way street. By sharing knowledge, I gain insights in return. We all grow, and together, we are stronger. Collaboration, in my opinion, is the only way we can pave clear pathways to net zero. If we don’t work together—sharing best practices, facing challenges, and supporting one another—we won’t make the progress we need.

That’s why I don’t see others in my field as competitors. Instead, I see them as collaborators. I invite you to do the same: engage with others, including your so-called competitors, and collaborate. In my B2B Energy Network, we have many energy experts who work and talk together, all focused on the same goal—reducing energy consumption, cutting costs, and ultimately, lowering carbon emissions.

We may all be working within the same industry, but we are not competitors. We are partners in achieving the collective goal of a sustainable future.

B2B Energy 12 Days of Christmas – Day 5

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening! Welcome to B2B Energy's 12 Days of Christmas, Day Five.

Today, we’re taking a moment to catch our breath during this festive season and start looking ahead to the new year. As we prepare for 2025, it’s the perfect time to focus on how we will monitor and report our energy consumption moving forward. To help with this, I have created a simple yet effective dashboard. This is a tool I personally use in my business and with organisations I support. It keeps our attention firmly on key tasks and goals, particularly when managing electricity, gas, and even water consumption. By logging and reviewing your data monthly, you can clearly see where savings have been made or where consumption has increased. This practice ensures you stay on track and maintain focus.

Dashboards are invaluable for driving key performance indicators in your business. Since energy is often the third-largest expense for many organisations, keeping it top of mind can have a significant impact on your bottom line.

Thank you, and Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄

B2B Energy 12 Days of Christmas – Day 4

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening and welcome to day four of the B2B Energy, 12 days of Christmas. I said right at the beginning that this is all about me giving back to you to say thank you for following me this year, and over the many years that you've been following me. One of the things that I do at this time of the year and that I really put a lot of focus into is building my short- and long-term goals. This helps me focus on my next year regarding what I'm trying to achieve. And those who know me know I always have a five-year plan of what I'm trying to achieve, and the short-term plan helps me address where I am going over those next five years.

What I find important here is to document it. I use a format called journaling, so I journal on a regular basis, but you might want to add this into your notes, use One Note, or maybe even the notes on Apple, but by just documenting the actual goals that you have set yourself, will really help you going forwards.

I'm more than happy to discuss how you set your goals and what goals you've set. Please contact me directly. I'll always have time to answer you directly on how I can support you.

Thank you, very much and Merry Christmas.

B2B Energy 12 Days of Christmas – Day 3

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, and welcome to day three of B2B Energy's 12 days of Christmas. We've all probably eaten too much over the Christmas period of Christmas Day and Boxing Day, the shops are all opening and we are all getting stuck into those Boxing Day sales.

Let us focus on one key, but remarkably simple thing to help reduce energy ....

And what is that? Well, it is to TURN THINGS OFF, turn things off when they are not needed. If we focus on turning things off at the right time, we will make a significant impact on our energy savings. I have done this many a time with organisations.

One clear time I did that was with an organisation that had their building operating on a Saturday and a Sunday, and when I asked that question, do you work on a Saturday and Sunday, very quickly, the organisation said, No. However, we had identified that all the building was operating from Saturday through to Sunday. A significant amount of energy was being used, and it was very simple. We just turned it off! That provided the organisation with a 23% saving on their energy on an annual period, which is significant.

Think! By turning it off, it not only impacted on the environment, but also the bottom line. Keep energy management simple. The simpler we keep energy management, the easier and faster we will start to make some significant savings going forward. Merry Christmas Everybody.

B2B Energy 12 Days of Christmas – Day 2

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening and welcome today to B2B Energy's 12 days of Christmas.

Today I want to focus on the key areas of energy management and those key areas really do help us focus on the actual reducing of energy waste, and they are Heating, Cooling, Lighting, Power, Energy Management and Water. The reason we include water is because we pump the water from A to B, and it is quite likely that we are heating the water as well.

Now, right in the middle of that, I said the word energy management, what does that mean? Well, that is the people. That is how we manage energy and how we review energy. Therefore, within the energy management section, that could be reporting and understanding how we are using energy, and they could be tools, the processes, or best practices that we put into that area. They are all the areas that we need to be focusing on, and it will help you as an organisation to understand where you need to start there.

Just to reclarify that, that is Heating, Cooling, Lighting, Power, Energy Management and Water.

Merry Christmas, everybody.

Episode 162 - 🎄Christmas Day Special 🎄 As we approach the joy and reflection of Christmas Day, I want to share my gift to you – an insightful and thought-provoking podcast episode with none other than Jason Elliott a visionary CEO of Lightwave RF who’s redefining the commercial world with SMART technology. In this episode, Jason dives into the transformative power of SMART systems, achieving significant energy savings and delivering a significant ROI. His innovative approach aligns perfectly with one of my core beliefs: buildings don’t always need to be on – sometimes, they need to be completely OFF. It’s a bold yet crucial step toward sustainable energy management, and Jason’s perspective challenges us all to think differently about how we operate our buildings.

Whether you’re a seasoned energy expert or new to the world of energy management, this conversation will leave you inspired and ready to make impactful changes in 2025.
