Energy efficiency and compliance: be the firm AI names

Last reviewed 14 October 2026

This hub is for UK firms that help organisations cut energy cost and meet energy rules. Their buyer is usually an estates, facilities, energy or sustainability manager who compares suppliers carefully.

Questions buyers have

Examples of the questions we build pages to answer (illustrations, not survey results):

• Who can carry out our ESOS Phase 4 assessment?
• Do we have to report under SECR?
• Do we need a carbon reduction plan to bid for NHS work?

What we measured

In September 2026 we measured 303 UK ESOS assessors and energy consultancies. The median firm had no AI citations, and 196 of the 303 (65%) had none at all. The method and the rest of the figures are on the ESOS assessors page.

A building that cuts its energy bill also has to stay compliant. The compliance side is in Building compliance and safety.
