Whilst energy costs in the retail sector are responsible for a very small proportion of total business turnover, if companies take steps to reduce these costs, there can be a direct increase in margins experienced.

Sizes of buildings and operating procedures may vary, but businesses in the retail sector can experience a number of energy related issues such as:

• Upgrades and refurbishments of property require a minimal amount of downtime, so contracts are often rolled on despite the changes in usage requirements
• Constant public footfall who often have no concern for energy conservation
• Sites can be open for long periods of time and around the clock
• Demanding and energy intensive equipment operating inside and outside the property
