Understand how electricity and gas are distributed across your estate, build a transparent evidence base for decision-making, and assess the impact of operational change before it is made.
Our EQUATE tool models how electricity and gas are distributed across an institution using bespoke tariff weightings derived solely from its own datasets. It then links energy use to Qualifying Use (QU), providing a transparent, evidence-led methodology for understanding the proportion of energy eligible for reduced VAT and deriving an appropriate recommended VAT rate.
Model how electricity and gas are distributed across the estate using bespoke tariff weightings derived entirely from your institution's own datasets. This creates a detailed, institution-specific view of energy distribution rather than relying on generic assumptions or broad averages.
Demystify which spaces should attract a reduced rate of VAT on associated energy use through a fair and transparent Qualifying Use methodology. EQUATE presents the proportion of the estate and energy attributed to QU in a visually engaging dashboard, alongside clear workings and a recommended VAT percentage based on the derived tariff weightings.
The fully transparent nature of EQUATE makes it a powerful scenario-planning tool. Test changes such as shifts in campus use or utility meter arrangements before implementation, and understand how they may affect energy distribution, QU levels and the VAT rate applied.
