Charities and Not-for-Profits

Charities have a long established role on taking responsibility for the environment to help sustain not only the quality of life we expect today but for generations to come. As there are more than 190000 registered charities in England and Wales, there is real potential for even the smallest green initiative adopted by some, or all, of these charities to have a positive environmental impact.

Charities have the power to make a real difference either directly as part of their charitable purposes, or indirectly through the way they run themselves. sMeasure can support the charities who want to commit themselves to reduce their carbon footprint and want to reduce energy-related costs.

Low cost energy monitoring with sMeasure will help your charity reduce bills and raise its green credentials.

With sMeasure, you can:

  • Monitor the charity’s energy use and assess its building(s) energy efficiency
  • Reduce charity’s energy bills
  • Get an indicative Display Energy Certificate (DEC) A-G rating – a saving for your charity!
  • Benefit from the expertise in building energy management of the University of Oxford.
  • Join a community of sMeasure users
  • Stay informed on the latest development in building energy management (weekly newsletter, blog, knowledge base, social networking) and charity’s energy use information, when available
  • Contribute to research in building energy management at the University of Oxford

"The use of sMeasure has allowed The Cyrenians homeless charity to monitor the performance of its building stock and evaluate the effectiveness of energy efficiency projects. There has been a lack of specialised tools available to SME's to evaluate energy usage and correlate that with local degree day data. The creation of sMeasure to fill exactly this gap is really good news for the Energy or Estate Manager on a shoestring and our experiences with it have been very positive, even as a beta." Yassen Roussev, Horticulture and Environment Officer, The Cyrenians
