Energy efficiency

Integrated energy efficiency services and solutions, advice on energy management, energy audits in industry and fleet vehicles, compliance with relevant legal obligations to reduce energy consumption

About this service:

ISQ Energy department offers integrated energy efficiency services and solutions, advice on energy management, energy audits in both industry and fleet vehicles, along with advice on compliance with relevant legal obligations to reduce energy consumption.

ISQ has highly specialized and experienced human resources and use in its work ISQ a wide range of measuring equipment: flue gas analyzers, thermography cameras, multimeters, energy analyzers, thermal energy meters and enthalpy meters, anemometers, ultrasonic flow meters, airborn ultrasound equipment, thermometers, thermo-hygrometers, luximeters, air analyzers and many others.

The energy-themed cross knowledge allows us to be a privileged partner of companies in this area, covering technical installations inspection, assessing the potential of energy resources, improving energy efficiency or technical advice for the use of renewable energies, and to fulfill legal obligations related.

Energy department of ISQ has large experience in energy efficiency, due to its long history in energy audits, energy management and developing solutions for Portuguese companies and supported by R&D projects.
