– The November issue of Environment In Business Magazine ran a feature on comparing all four approved standards. Part of this feature included a price comparison between schemes which shows the Carbon Saver Standard is the lowest cost and best value.
BSI Energy Reduction Verification Kitemark = £9,000
CEMARS = £4,750 to £16,150**
Carbon Trust Standard = £5,000
Carbon Saver Gold Standard = £3,000***
* most of the schemes are valid for two years. Prices are quoted for a two year period.
** CEMARS prices vary with risk. Lower price is for a low risk office based business with few sites. Higher charges apply to higher risk businesses such as manufacturing companies or multisite organisations (eg. Local Authorities)
*** Carbon Saver early adopters price valid until end of November (Normal Price £4,000).

The Carbon Saver Standard is approved by the Environment Agency as an Early Action Metric for the CRC Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme. This will improve the performance of CRC participants and increase their ranking in the CRC league table.
