Decarbonisation starts with using less energy
Reducing energy usage is the first and most effective step towards low carbon buildings.
Aligning usage and operations deliver the highest return on investment, yielding large gains with minimal costs. It also provides crucial input to better design future upgrade projects.
Operators and occupiers need to work together
Many commercial buildings are still highly wasteful despite design efforts
There is currently no correlation between design (EPC) ratings and actual energy efficiency
Some recently built, low carbon certified buildings show energy use twice above net zero compatible targets
Overall, UK offices use around 250% more energy than achievable best practice
Engaging
occupiers
