Decarbonising homes and public sector buildings to help achieve net zero
Stage 1: Assess
Assessing your decarbonisation requirements
We’ll assess the size and scope of what needs to be addressed and advise on the options available to you, providing the following services:
Data harvesting:
we’ll gather data to complete condition surveys of existing property stock
Data analysis:
we’ll determine the current energy efficiency performance of your buildings and identifying key problem areas
Identifying opportunities and savings:
we’ll pinpoint where efficiencies can be made, such as bulk completion of work programmes
Road-mapping and identifying targets:
we’ll identify the key targets, benefits, risks, and opportunities for you
Skills and training:
we’ll identify local suppliers with the necessary experience and skills, outlining training opportunities to maximise uptake and increase jobs, skills and positive outcomes for the local economy
Strategic outline case:
we’ll deliver a comprehensive report detailing where and how changes can be made, and your options
Advising how to achieve your goals
We’ll create an outline business case advising on the funding options to help realise your project and how to deliver the bespoke works programme:
Stage 2: Advise
Costing estimates:
our cost consultants will explain the level of funding required
Roadmap to zero carbon:
we’ll sense check that the strategy is still appropriate in the market, identify any changes and provide detailed cost estimates
Finding funding opportunities:
we’ll identify potential government grant funding or private financing opportunities to facilitate investment outlined in the zero carbon roadmap
Procurement of local skills and delivery:
we’ll outline the potential delivery routes through local procurement based on the skills assessment during the ‘assess’ stage
Outline business case:
we’ll create an outline business case that reflects a detailed cost-assessed strategy, advising on how best to fund and deliver the programme.
Turning your plans into reality
This phase takes you from the theoretical to the practical. We’ll develop a final business case to secure the funding you need to deliver the work for your first batch of pilot properties, activated through demonstrator bids:
Stage 3: Activate
A full business case:
documenting all details and confirming the strategy while also forming a firm foundation as a demonstrator bid when applying for grant funding and other financing mechanisms
Securing funding:
using our expertise in the field, we’ll secure the funding on your behalf, putting you in a prime position to get started on your zero-carbon journey
Starting on site:
our specialists will guide and monitor progress as you begin on-site, ensuring the best strategies are implemented and you successfully engage the support of stakeholders/residents.
Expanding activities to your full portfolio
Upon successful delivery of the pilot programme, we’ll apply the knowledge and strategies we’ve developed to cover a wider scope of your property assets.
Lessons learnt will continuously be implemented and fed into the cycle to maximise efficiency, optimise results, and continue the employment of the local skilled population who will, by now, be experts in zero carbon property delivery.
Monitoring and assurance will form a continual part of our service to ensure a hands-on approach, with regular gateway reviews to identify any areas for improvement, pre-empt any issues and address them quickly.
