Process and Energy Optimisation. Optimised production is an important competitive factor as it saves labour, resources, energy and reduces the environmental impact of a process. A minimised carbon footprint of products is also an important factor for some suppliers. Mooney Kelly NIRAS has the expertise to optimise new and ongoing productions due to many years of experience and a professional consultancy team. http://www.mooneykellyniras.com/services-process.html

Mooney Kelly - Sustainable Energy Economics
Sustainable Energy Economics
Mooney Kelly has worked with major utilities, private sector developers, local government and regional development authorities on a variety of sustainable energy projects. We have carried out feasibility studies, economic analyses and supply chain development for a number of sustainable energy projects. We are uniquely positioned to provide up to date cost information in this sector.
'Mooney Kelly have delivered credible and experienced resources to meet the needs of our projects. Their knowledge across sectors has allowed us to adopt best practice and maintain advantage over our competitors.'
Miles Hearn, Operations Director, Sustainable Solutions The Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) and the Building Energy Efficiency Programme (BEEP)
Energy efficiency is a high priority on the government agenda. Under the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) the government has put in place a number of legislative measures requiring gas and electric suppliers to achieve extremely challenging targets for a reduction in carbon emissions.
Electricity and gas suppliers will be obliged to promote things that:
improve energy efficiency, for example, loft and wall insulation increase the amount of energy generated from renewable technologies such as wind turbines, solar panels and ground source heat pumps CERT will mean that energy suppliers will provide grants and offers to help homeowners implement energy efficiency measures and renewable energy technologies in the home. Grants and offers can be taken up from any energy company, regardless of whether they supply a home with gas and electricity. This could help reduce the amount of energy used, and reduce CO 2 emissions and energy bills too.
Most energy suppliers provide loft and cavity wall insulation for free to those aged over 70 or those in receipt of certain benefits.
For further information please contact Phelim Scallon by email or by phone on + 44 (0)20 8600 4190
The Building Energy Efficiency Programme (BEEP) has been developed by the London Development Agency (LDA) to contribute directly to the Mayor’s 60% carbon dioxide reduction target for London. It will do this by working directly with public sector organisations to help them reduce their carbon dioxide emissions and to reduce their energy bills.
BEEP is designed to support public sector organisations and to address the lack of finance available to drive carbon dioxide emission reduction programmes by establishing investment mechanisms to help fund energy efficiency projects for public sector buildings. The programme is aimed at the refurbishment or retrofit of existing buildings.
The two main barriers to delivery of energy efficiency retrofitting in the public sector are considered to be a ‘lack of internal capacity and expertise’ and a ‘lack of access to finance’. The BEEP has been developed to address each of these barriers.
When implemented,:-
public sector organisations will be able to procure a contractor from an LDA approved framework panel;
the contractor (or ESCO – Energy Service Company) will survey the property, assess the works required and guarantee a set level of energy savings on completion of the work – and therefore financial savings - over a period of years.
The target is that the savings generated will recover the initial capital outlay over a period of eight years or so.
The plan of the LDA is to develop this scheme into a ‘design build and finance’ model so that the initial costs are met by the ESCO, with repayments made from reductions in energy bills and the public sector organisation being in a cash-neutral position until the capital costs are paid off.

‘They’re relentless. They want to see the job done and they’re very methodical about getting there’
Danielle Pilcher, CLIENT
Sometimes, problems and challenges that could not be predicted come up along the way, but successful outcomes are nonetheless always possible. Of course it’s always better if we can be involved at the earliest possible stages of a project, because we might just see problems looming that no one else does.
‘They tend to pick things up that the client or the design team haven’t thought of’
Mike Allen, STRUCTURAL ENGINEER
We offer clients a single point of responsibility, protecting their interests at all times and thereby reinforcing client control. We concentrate on the successful co-ordination of all team members to meet client requirements.
‘In a project management role, they were very instrumental in co- ordinating the team and working well together. They constantly gave us advice on working with the contractor, the architect and the rest of the team.’
Jeanette Shand, CLIENT
As for the old cliché – on time and on budget? We not only work to that, but aim to improve on it if we can, whilst ensuring clients and the team get the highest quality service at every stage.
Mooney Kelly - Dispute Resolution
In a dispute situation, all parties – be they client, contractor or sub-contractor – are entitled to a resolution that is fair, speedy and economic.
Our construction industry experience and central role in many projects have taught us much of the power of diplomacy and makes us perfectly suited to help achieve a positive outcome for all aggrieved parties. We back up this real-life experience with background homework: Mooney Kelly are fully briefed and experienced in all relevant observations and legislation on these issues from the Latham Report, the Egan Report, the Woolf Reforms and the Construction Act, all of which have had a significant impact on the way in which disputes are approached and resolved within the construction industry.
‘There were a number of ongoing issues in the contract, including some which carried on after the project had completed, which we wouldn’t have been able to resolve without them. We were impressed with their dispute resolution skills.’
Jeanette Shand, CLIENT
Our approach is always to carry out an initial review and appraisal of the likelihood of success before moving on to prepare defences, claims or counterclaims, as appropriate. We then lead and advise on negotiations to settle disputes before preparing formal documentation for settlement by adjudication. Mooney Kelly have acted for both the Referring and Responding parties in disputes dealt with under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996.
