Saving energy without capital cost

Are you looking to carry out LED lighting or solar PV upgrade, or another energy-saving project, but struggling to find the funding? Securing CapEx budgets, grants, or loans for energy-saving and decarbonisation initiatives can be incredibly challenging. The rising costs and budget constraints make it almost impossible to implement the right measures, regardless of their financial benefits.

CILS design energy saving projects to be cash positive from day 1, with:

• zero capital outlay

• zero maintenance costs

• risk-free commitment

using an IFRS16 compliant, off balance sheet* funding model.

Our service will enable you to implement a range of energy efficiency and carbon reduction projects including LED lighting with smart controls, & solar PV – at no capital cost.

‘As a service’ – the perfect funding solution

Implementing essential energy reduction projects requires adequate funding – either through capital budgets, grants, or, in the past, government-backed Salix loans.

Many clients can no longer access this funding – whilst the need to reduce costly energy consumption is becoming ever more important.

With CILS, you can now implement energy-saving projects ‘as a service’, with no capital cost. Our projects are designed to be ‘cash positive’ from the outset.

Our service option means that your business would not face the challenge of finding the funds and then waiting for cost recovery. Rather, the project would be implemented and generate a positive cash flow from the outset.

What do you get when you choose lighting & solar PV delivered ‘as a service’?

Typically, CILS solutions packages include:

• Professional redesign of existing lighting to improve building performance and ensure compliance with CIBSE standards and emergency lighting design criteria.

• Ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and warranty replacement of failures over the full contract period.
• System uptime is guaranteed by CILS, with client compensation if this service level is not delivered.
• Emergency lighting compliance testing and reporting.
• Lighting energy reporting – detailing how the building is performing against similar-use buildings, together with suggestions to improve the system performance.
• Full Carbon Audit – outlines an action plan for next opportunities to decarbonise.
  Service contracts can be deemed to be ‘off balance sheet’, and IFRS16 compliant*.

Following the installation, the client is in the position of:

• Being able to realise their energy savings from day 1 without any capital investment.
• Funding the project as an ongoing operating expense, preserving capital budgets.
• Modernising their energy infrastructure very cost-effectively.
• Maximising site energy savings and future-proofing building performance.
• Smart lighting unlocks a range of additional solutions to improve the operational efficiency of the building with HVAC optimisation, space management, asset tracking, indoor mapping, and navigation solutions.
• Achieving net zero targets sooner rather than later.
• Having a quality installation that is beyond compare.
• Enjoying complete peace of mind with system maintenance and lighting compliance all taken care of.
  As energy and OpEx prices continue to increase year on year, the additional savings will belong entirely to the client.
