Greenhouse & Energy Management
A greenhouse and energy management system is a roadmap for using energy more efficiently. By reducing energy use, this system will help your organisation lower greenhouse emissions, meet legislative requirements and save money.
A key part of environmental management, greenhouse and energy management systems set out policies and processes to improve energy efficiency in areas such as machinery, heating and cooling, lighting or transport.
What we do
Graham A Brown & Associates can work with you to create a greenhouse and energy management system that:
-
Complies with legislative requirements and other standards (eg. ISO 50001)
-
Pinpoints opportunities for improving the energy efficiency of your current processes, thereby reducing operating costs
We offer the following services:
-
National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting System (NGERS)– gathering data; inventory setup; population and OSCAR reporting
-
Carbon neutral products and services– carbon neutral strategies, footprint analysis, understanding offsets and compliance with voluntary standards
-
Integration – integrating yourgreenhouse management and reporting into your existing environmental or quality systems
-
Commercial energy audits – undertaking audits to identify cost-saving areas or meet regulatory requirements

Staff training– equipping your staff with related knowledge and skills
How we work
We’ll help you achieve a standards-based system using the Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle of improvement. This process allows us to achieve a system based on standards while accounting for the specific needs of your organisation.
To help you meet legal requirements, we can manage the process of reporting to various commonwealth or state regulatory bodies (such as the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting System) or assist you to set up your own reporting structure.
Who we work with
We use our comprehensive understanding of greenhouse legislation, standards and reporting processes to work with large organisations in energy-intensive industries such as food processing, manufacturing and mining. Working in teams, we address the needs of organisations whose complex processes are best managed with expert knowledge.
