Holistic approach
to reducing carbon emissions
from the built environment

Welcome

Sustainable solutions help real estate owners & managers reduce carbon emissions from the built environment. We provide a holistic turnkey solution to the process

Since 85% to 95% of today’s buildings will still be standing in 2050, we specialise in the retrofitting of existing buildings.
In addition to the energy savings that can be achieved, real estate owners can achieve increased property value, increased operational efficiency and avoid statutory penalties for noncompliance.
We provide the added value of arranging the optimum solution for financing this process.

We manage the critical phases for real estate owners to reduce these emissions:

Certification

Strategy development

Implementation phase

Measurement
and verification phase

Defining Net Zero Carbon In Real Estate

The real estate sector has a significant role to play in the commitment to reach net zero carbon (nzc) by 2050.

The basic principle of nzc is that the greenhouse gasses (ghg) emitted to the atmosphere by the activities of a building, fund or company are balanced by the removal of an equivalent quantity of emissions over a given period of time.

While this concept is simple at face value, lack of uniformity in definitions across the market means two public commitments to net zero can mean very different things.

With definitions ranging from carbon neutral to absolute zero, to ensure compliance with 2050 net zero a strategic approach is required.

The paris-proof principle is a concept where the built environment is only consuming the level of electricity that is expected to be to be produced from zero-carbon sources.

Our Approach

We take a holistic fabric-first approach based on the engineer, procure, and construct (epc) model

We consult all stakeholders including finance partners, assessment/ certification bodies and the technology providers to get tailored solutions for each building. Our philosophy is energy efficiency must come first

We develop a clear strategy with definable and measurable goals to achieve the owner’s requirements

We manage the implementation of these solutions

Post-installation we measure and verify the technology performance and energy savings to ensure savings agreed upon are achieved

How we add value for you?

We provide a tailored approach to suit your operational and financial requirements.

02

We understand how retrofit works can impact on operations and consider this in our approach

03

We distill the range of options with respect to certification, finance, technologies available, and verification options to provide you with a clear picture of what is required

04

Once modifications have been made the management of these to ensure continued savings. this helps resolve issues for landlord investment and tennant usage

05

Most up-to-date knowledge on upcoming regulations

06

We help ensure regulatory compliance

07

Minimise interaction with stakeholders

Our expertise

Regulatory requirements

Finance & funding options

Strategy development

Technologies evaluation

Project management

Measurement and verification

Embodied carbons

The multitude of net zero schemes available is not in itself a barrier to achieving net zero.

However, their diversity in terms of ambition and scope means it is possible for two real estate businesses to commit to very different strategies both labeled net zero.

Real estate owners and managers need to consider several certification requirements including:

display energy certificate (dec)

energy performance certificate (epc)

air conditioning certification (tm44)

min. energy performance standards (meps)

energy saving opportunity scheme (esos)

energy companies obligation (eco)

green deal

iso 50001

action plan

Without proper understanding, landlords may gravitate towards schemes which do not lead to the deep cuts in ghg emissions needed to sufficiently mitigate the transition risk.

Technologies

There are over 100 sustainable retrofit technologies approved for government funding.
Considering additional technologies on the market there is a huge range of options for landlords and tenants to reduce the emissions from their buildings.
Selecting the correct technologies is key to achieving an improved energy performance level.
For example, a mixed-use multi-tenant shopping centre requires a very different approach than a single-storey warehouse.
