E-efficiency
E-efficiency is the NHER's online energy assessment, calculation and advice system. It is used by major energy providers such as npower, Scottish and Southern, Marks & Spencer and the Energy Saving Trust.
It is available in two forms - full solution and calculation engine only.
The full solution
The full E-efficiency solution was developed for UK energy companies. The system comprises three distinct elements.
- An online energy efficiency survey for use by members of the public that displays immediate results and recommendations
- A searchable online energy efficiency advice centre specifically targeted to meet the information needs of householders
- An administration interface that allows configuration of the application, including the linkage of product offers to the recommendations provided by the system and access to the underlying database
The calculation engine
Our calculation engine is also available to licence as a discrete application, hosted by the NHER on secure servers, or your servers.
- Uses the NHER DIYSAP set of data input items
- Generates an energy rating, running costs, and a set of improvement recommendations
The calculation engine was licensed to The Energy Saving Trust, the Government agency responsible for encouraging energy efficiency in the UK's 25 million homes.
It is used by all the UK's Energy Efficiency Advice Centres (EEACs) to generate energy efficiency advice reports to householders.
The system is also used as the basis for EST's new online energy service to householders. The application can be viewed here.
