Meet Stuart Adams: Driving Smarter Energy for Guernsey’s Commercial Sector
At C8, we’re serious about helping commercial clients across Guernsey reduce energy waste, cut costs, and build for the future. Leading this charge is Stuart Adams, our newly appointed Bespoke Project Manager for Eco-Renewables.
A qualified electrician with extensive site experience and NICEIC certification, Stuart has managed large-scale commercial projects island-wide. He now leads a team of experienced engineers dedicated to delivering smarter, cleaner, and more efficient energy systems for Guernsey’s commercial buildings.
But what really sets Stuart apart is his technical expertise and vision.
He’s one of just three professionals in Guernsey certified to design and install TREND Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) - powerful platforms that integrate heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting into a single, intelligent system. This means Stuart can help clients move beyond basic sustainability to real-world cost savings and performance improvements.
"We want to help clients save energy, run equipment more efficiently, and put renewables on the map. The systems we install aren’t just sustainable - they make financial sense."
Tackling Hidden Costs in Commercial Energy Use
“I’ve seen buildings lose thousands of pounds a month, simply because energy use wasn’t being monitored in real time,” Stuart explains. “With the right monitoring systems, we can help clients reduce those peaks — and in many cases, reclaim thousands.”
Through load management, TREND BEMS, and automated control sequences, Stuart and the C8 team helps clients run more efficiently, with fewer surprises when the bill arrives.
Solar on the Rise
Solar is a core part of the renewables mix — and Stuart is keen to see more commercial clients consider it as part of a smarter energy strategy.
“Solar isn’t just a green badge anymore — when combined with monitoring and control, it’s a smart move financially,” he says.
C8 provides tailored solar PV installations, integrated with real-time energy monitoring and, where appropriate, battery storage. These systems help reduce grid dependency, offset daytime demand, and support peak-load avoidance.
A Smarter Way Forward
Under Stuart’s leadership, C8 is extending its renewables offering — combining heat pumps, solar PV, BEMS, and control systems into integrated solutions designed for commercial performance.
Whether you're developing new commercial premises or looking to upgrade existing systems, Stuart is here to help make energy efficiency more than just a buzzword.
