Energy efficiency for a sustainable future
Finding the right and profitable energy efficiency measures
To identify the right and profitable energy efficiency measures, we first conduct an energy survey of the building. This means we review the energy system and determine what consumes the most energy. With this analysis, we can provide you with advice and recommendations for profitable energy-saving measures.
Through an energy-saving contract, we will give you a guarantee in advance of how much energy and costs you can save, and then implement the energy-saving measures that are relevant to your building. The energy savings will occur without compromising the comfort of the building's users.
Contact us if you need assistance in reducing the energy costs of your building. You can find our contact information at the bottom of this page.
Simple measures can have a significant impact
The largest energy consumption in a building is usually heating the building and heating water. In large and poorly insulated buildings, up to 70-80 percent of the energy consumption can go towards heating. Smart control of heating and ventilation, as well as better regulation of hot water usage, can significantly reduce energy consumption for many.
Other relevant measures can include replacing light fixtures with more energy-efficient LED lighting. A mix of these small and large measures can save significant energy costs each year.

Support from ENOVA for energy-saving measures
It is possible to apply for support from ENOVA to implement energy-saving measures in buildings. To apply for support, ENOVA requires that the building has an energy certificate. If this is missing, AF Energi can offer energy certification of the building and assist you through all phases of an energy efficiency project.
When you implement energy efficiency measures in the building, you can also achieve a better energy certificate. A higher energy certificate contributes to lower operating costs, and you can charge higher rental prices for leased areas.
Support Schemes from ENOVA
ENOVA has several support offers for adopting energy and climate-friendly solutions. We can help you with applications for these schemes. This way, you get a smooth application process and ensure that you include all necessary documentation. Relevant support schemes are:
- ENOVA covers up to 50 percent and a maximum of 400,000 NOK of the project's costs related to energy mapping in commercial buildings.
- By cutting 20 percent of energy consumption in a commercial building, you can apply for support from ENOVA for up to 30 percent of the costs, and a maximum of 10 million NOK. The support is awarded through a competition with six application deadlines annually.
