Sustainability

We help real estate investors, owners and occupiers realise the benefits of developing and implementing sustainability strategies:

Compliance with current and future legislation

More productive work environments

Success Stories

Pubs

Developed a tiered strategy for a large pub owner in the UK to assess and quantify the risk within their portfolio arising from the upcoming MEES regulations. This highlighted any building upgrades required and potential exemption routes.
Automotive
Turned the requirement for an automotive manufacturing company to comply with ESOS into a value-added initiative by identifying real opportunities for energy performance within the compliance timeframe. Support was provided at every stage of the process from assessing organisational boundaries through to identification of best compliance route and sign off.
Bank
Evaluated the applicability for implementation of green leases for a renowned building society across their estate taking into account specific portfolio characteristics and corporate sustainability targets.
