Commercial Energy Efficiency Company in Dorset
Evolution NetZero is an independent commercial energy efficiency company based in Dorset. We work exclusively with hotels, care homes, commercial landlords and business operators, not residential households, to find where energy is being wasted and what it would cost to fix.
Commercial Energy Consultancy Across Dorset
Dorset’s commercial sector is heavily weighted towards hospitality, tourism and care: hotels along the coast, independent restaurants, care homes inland, holiday parks and a mix of rural and market town commercial property. These buildings have high energy intensity, real MEES exposure, and operational constraints that make energy management more complex than a standard office or retail unit, and different again from a domestic household.
Evolution NetZero provides commercial energy efficiency services only. We are not a domestic energy advice scheme or grant programme. If you’re a homeowner, Dorset Council’s Warm Homes grant and the Dorset CAN community network are the right places to start. If you operate a commercial building, we are.
Evolution NetZero is based in Dorset. We understand the local building stock, the seasonal patterns that affect hospitality operators, and the practical constraints of working in buildings that cannot simply close for improvement works. Our starting point is always the same: find out where the energy is going before spending money on eco-friendly energy improvements or energy-saving solutions.

How the Process Works
Step 1: Free Desktop Report
We start with a free desktop review using your existing energy data. No site visit, no disruption, no cost. This identifies the likely waste areas in your building and gives you an indicative savings range before any further commitment.
Step 2: Paid On-Site Diagnostic
Where the desktop report identifies a meaningful savings opportunity, we carry out a paid on-site review. This covers your building systems in detail and produces a prioritised action plan with costs and payback periods for each recommended measure.
Step 3: Implementation and Measurement
For clients who want to proceed from findings to action, we support procurement and implementation of recommended improvements, and help establish the measurement framework to verify that changes are delivering the expected results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for in a commercial energy efficiency company in Dorset?
Look for independence from any single technology or vendor, direct experience with commercial building types rather than domestic households, a starting point that doesn’t require upfront spend, and support that runs from initial diagnostics through to implementation. Evolution NetZero is built around those points: an independent, Dorset-based commercial energy efficiency company that starts every engagement with a free desktop report. For a fuller walkthrough, see our guide on how to choose a Dorset energy consultant.
Is Evolution NetZero part of Dorset Council’s energy schemes?
No. Evolution NetZero is an independent commercial energy consultancy, separate from Dorset Council’s Warm Homes grant and other domestic or community energy initiatives, which are aimed at homeowners and private tenants rather than commercial buildings. If you operate a hotel, care home or other commercial premises in Dorset, Evolution NetZero is the right starting point rather than a domestic grant scheme.
Do you carry out energy assessments in Dorset?
Yes. Evolution NetZero is based in Dorset and carries out on-site energy diagnostics across the county. We cover all commercial building types including hotels, care homes, hospitality premises, commercial property and multi-site operations. The starting point for most clients is the free desktop report, which costs nothing and requires no site visit.
What kinds of businesses do you work with in Dorset?
We work across the full range of Dorset’s commercial sector: coastal and rural hotels, independent hospitality operators, care home groups, commercial landlords, holiday parks and businesses with mixed-use premises. If your building spends more than £15,000 per year on energy, there is likely a worthwhile savings opportunity to assess.
How quickly can you start?
The free desktop report can be started immediately using your existing utility data. Paid on-site reviews are typically scheduled within two to three weeks of instruction, depending on site availability. There is no long onboarding process.
