Residence Decarbonization

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

We are approaching estate decarbonization in the following way:

How our strategy will benefit you

Our strategy for decarbonizing estates consists of:

• 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 two: Create a solid decarbonization strategy to meet net zero goals.

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

Among the characteristics and advantages provided by our service are:

• Analysis of the energy performance of all real estate using archetypes
• Analysis of real estate's future and present user needs
• Assistance with funding and grant applications to enhance performance
• Checking against established industry norms like Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM)
• Strategies for decarbonization and net zero
• Techno-economic evaluation of renewable energy and fabric first solutions
