Energy management

By 2050, the UK Government aims to have reached net zero. It is one of the most pressing issues facing the planet. Subsequently, many of our clients operating across the built environment have a significant role to play when it comes to energy management. This is why we are consistently giving them platforms on which to convey their messages and expertise on the subject.

As demand for urban housing and public spaces increases, those operating across the built environment must prioritise reducing CO2 emissions during the design, construction, and subsequent operation phases of new builds. However, much of the work to reach net zero also depends on the retrofitting of existing buildings. Another huge issue facing our clients.

From net-zero targets to day-to-day behaviour

It is said that the 80% of the buildings that exist around us today will still be in use come 2050. Therefore, almost every existing building will need to be adapted if the UK is to meet net zero targets.

Our clients are:

– Setting net-zero and energy-reduction targets
– Publishing ESG and impact reports
– Rolling out energy projects and smart building technology
– Encouraging occupiers, colleagues and customers to use buildings differently

We help them to:

– Explain energy and decarbonisation strategies in plain language for different audiences
– Turn complex energy data and dashboards into clear narratives for boards, investors and customers
– Support behaviour change campaigns that encourage better use of space, equipment and resources
– Build credible sustainability stories that avoid greenwash and stand up to scrutiny

For clients who are reporting on progress, this work often overlaps with our impact report writing & design service and our own Impact Report.

Leading the energy management debate

By operating across all strands of the built environment, we have ensured our clients have discussed these issues across some of the industry’s leading journals and have taken centre stage at some of the industry’s most high-profile events.

Improving the built environment is critical to achieving our national net zero ambitions. Existing buildings generate nearly 40% of annual global CO2 emissions, with building operations responsible for 28% of these annually. We all have a role to play, and we continue to ensure our clients are regarded as some of the most respected commentators on energy management.

We have assisted them to shaping energy management debates across some of the UK’s leading property and corporate real estate titles such as Property Week, Estates Gazette, Planning, Building, and Control, and ABC+D.

Furthermore, we have positioned our clients across key vertical sector media placing them directly in front of existing and potential customers. This has positioned them as a thought leader on this pressing subject and displayed their work by publishing up-to-date case studies. This includes within titles such as Education Today, Independent Schools Magazine, Health Service Journal, Hotel Owner, and the Law Society Gazette.

If you’re working in facilities management, property or workplace and want your energy and sustainability narrative to land with the right people, this sits alongside our wider facilities management and property management systems and technology work.
