Partner and client testimonials
The Energy Saving Trust has delivered monitoring projects with funding from a wide variety of public and private sector clients including the UK Government, devolved administrations, the energy suppliers, and technology providers: and support from a wide variety of leading academic institutions and technical consultants.
“The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is very pleased to support the Energy Saving Trust’s field trials into heat pump technology. Field trials such as these are a valuable way of establishing true performance in situ, as opposed to in the laboratory, and provide useful insights as to how performance may be improved. This is beneficial for industry, householders and the Government. DECC considers that heat pumps have an important role in achieving Government policies to reduce CO2 emissions.”

“The Energy Saving Trust’s field trials have answered some of the common misconceptions about microgeneration technology, which has helped customers make more informed decisions about which technology or product might be right for them. The Energy Saving Trust’s commitment to further research has enabled Southampton University to continue research into a topic very relevant for the UK – small-scale wind. We have been grateful to work as part of the Energy Saving Trust’s project team and we look forward to more collaboration in the future.”

Southampton University
“We have been taking part in the field trial for the past 18 months and have found the equipment to be largely trouble free and no inconvenience to us. Any minor problems have been dealt with easily over the phone. The very fact of knowing that our energy use is being monitored has increased our awareness of what we use and how. The engineers and contractors who fitted the equipment have all been knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with. Fitting the equipment only took a morning, which was not a problem for us.”
