Energy (consumption)

Energy use is ever increasing. How we address energy demand issues and at the same time make our energy system more sustainable, leads to a complex work field. These changes offer opportunities for the sustainable organization of energy consumption by industry, bulk consumers and regular consumers.

Kiwa provides energy users with the support and tools to optimize energy consumption. This involves research before advice and consulting before making recommendations. Every advice is tested against theoretical foundation, practical reality and business consequences.

  • Gas distribution safety is currently a topic of high social interest. Organisations such as the supervisory bodies, the Dutch Energy Council and the Dutch National Mines Inspectorate explicitly hold network operators accountable for their responsibilities in ensuring safe gas distribution.

  • Benchmarking is one of the possibilities for improving the quality of your organisation and/or processes. If you wish to achieve the objectives that you have set, for example, for your asset management, you will have to translate them into specific, measurable, objective and consistent indicators.
