ESOS is the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme – this is a mandatory energy assessment scheme put in place by the government for organisations in the UK who have over 250 employees or a turnover of over €50 million (around £44,845,000).
ESOS was introduced by the UK government as a result of an EU initiative and legislation to obligate large companies to report on their energy use and efficiency.
The first two phases are already complete, and as well as helping to reduce the environmental impact of large businesses, it’s estimated it will save businesses as much as £1.6 billion by 2030.
ESOS audits are only necessary for companies who are not covered by ISO 50001, and look to find cost-effective measures to reduce energy costs both in the short and long term.
What can I do to reduce energy consumption?
The most obvious way is to reduce the amount of energy used – including electricity, heat and vehicle fuel.
Examples could be:
- Making sure vehicles are regularly maintained
- Installing energy monitoring tools
- Replacing long-distance meetings with video-conferencing
How can ADS Window Films help?
Old or poor glazing can let lots of heat out of a building. Instead of resorting to costly double glazing installations, window films can keep heat inside a building in the winter months and reduce the levels of solar heat during the summer – reducing both heating and air conditioning use and cost.
And window films easily fit within the ESOS requirements of cost-effectiveness with a payback period of around 5 years.
On a practical level, window films are quicker and easier to install too, meaning less disruption to those using the building.
With a wide choice of window films available, businesses can also take advantage of increased privacy, reduced solar glare and lower levels of UV rays, improving conditions for everyone using the building.

Reflective, tinted and opaque films that give privacy
Reflective and tinted window films that cut heat and glare in buildings also set up a one-way vision effect which gives daytime privacy under most lighting conditions. Special purpose made films are available to enhance this effect. ADS also supply and fit frosted and opaque films to give full 24-hour privacy.
Fade reduction films that prevent damage to light sensitive materials
Crystal clear and practically invisible, fade reduction film is used to protect light sensitive materials from shop displays to carpets, curtains and even museum exhibits. It works by eliminating 99% of harmful UV rays, the biggest single cause of fading. Because it’s a permanent fixture on the glass it works all day, every day. Plus, its easily cleaned and has no maintenance requirements.
Solar Window Film transforms comfort levels
As the ideal solution for heavily glazed areas, the film rejects heat, glare and up to 99% of harmful UV rays whilst still allowing plenty of light through. Not only does this create a more favourable living or working space but it also reduces the fading of interior fabrics, furnishings and materials. Solar window film deals with unwanted heat and glare by creating a barrier that prevents excess solar energy from penetrating the glass. Up to 80% of unwanted solar heat and glare is rejected preventing overheating and leading to reduced eyestrain and vastly improved comfort.
Energy Saving Window Film going green
Energy Saving Window Film gives you the perfect balance of energy efficiency, comfort and cost savings, all year round. It is especially designed to reduce the heat escaping in winter and lessen the searing heat in summer, therefore saving on our energy bills. This means that in the winter months the heating can be turned down and in the summer the air conditioning doesn’t need to work as hard. The product still allows sunlight to enter, but substantially reduces harmful UV rays and uncomfortable heat and glare making it easier for you to watch television or work on a computer.
Super strong window film that provide safety & security
Safety Window Film is a super strong material that has become renowned for its ability to hold glass together under impact. This means that even if glass gets broken, the fragments are held securely together which prevents injury and creates a barrier to crime. Safety film has been installed in many buildings from shops to schools and hospitals to military bases. The benefits include defeated break-in attempts and the costs of vandalism are greatly reduced.
Automotive films that transform vehicle looks and comfort
Window tinting has become the essential ‘extra’ for many car owners. It keeps vehicle interiors cooler and more comfortable. It helps reduce glare and eyestrain and protects vehicle upholstery from fading. In addition to this, window tinting strengthens glass for safety and security and helps shield people and valuables from view. Plus, when expertly installed by ADS, it adds stunning looks to any vehicle.
