Estate Decarbonisation

It's important to take tenant well-being, sustainability, and energy efficiency into account while managing an estate or other type of real estate. Though we can assist, this is a serious matter.

For their owned and occupied constructed assets, we provide advice on decarbonization solutions to estate managers and property owners in both the public and private sectors.

With our assistance, physical assets can become more valuable, robust to energy price fluctuations and climate change, energy-efficient, and we contribute to the improvement of constructed assets' energy efficiency, resilience to variations in energy prices and climate change, user comfort, and overall value.

Our team will deliver a baseline study to assess in-use energy performance and carbon emissions, with an emphasis on Scope 1 and 2 emissions. We evaluate the cost-benefit effects of various strategies to enhance building performance, lower emissions, and reach net zero by layering in detail on both the existing and prospective building utilization.

Classifying capital projects and investments is made easier by adopting a 360-degree perspective of the estate.

Numerous factors, including the following, will impact a phased program of decarbonization that includes both retrofit and investment in clean energy technologies:

  • Buildings facing climate change risk and an extensive backlog of maintenance and lifecycle replacement issues
  • To-Be space requirements and Grid connectivity
  • Stakeholder needs and experiences.

In key areas such as MEP, Civil and Structural Engineering, Fire Safety and Acoustical Studies, our multidisciplinary engineering teams can be relied upon with a strategy in place to provide detailed design, planning submissions and procurement of works.

One of the most significant obstacles to achieving our collective net zero goals is the decarbonization of the built environment.

However, it can also provide many chances to tackle other issues including continuous data collection, maintenance backlogs, lifecycle plant replacement, and regulatory compliance.

How our strategy will benefit you.

We are approaching estate decarbonization in the following way:

How our strategy will benefit you

Our strategy for decarbonizing estates consists of:

Step 1:

  • First, ascertain how well your current estate is performing and what you will need in the future.
  • Examine your future, evaluate your properties, identify stranded assets, and carry out energy efficiency studies.
  • Divide the data into distinct archetypes, then establish appropriate goals and constraints for the retrofit initiatives.
  • Measure your carbon emissions throughout your entire lifecycle using recognized standards like the London Energy Transformation Initiative (LETI)
  • Measure all your carbon emissions, from the carbon incorporated into the building process to the effectiveness of each asset's operation.

Step 2:

Create a solid decarbonization strategy to meet net zero goals.

Step 3:

Track and report on energy performance while in use, and confirm accomplishments.
