Public and education
Schools, councils, universities and healthcare. Capital constrained, multi site, seasonal, and with a reporting obligation on top.
Term time and out of term look like two different buildings, and the same is true of a leisure centre in summer and winter. Across an estate the sites vary widely in age and condition, so an average across the portfolio hides more than it shows.
Capital is committed a long way ahead and rarely available at short notice, so the sequence matters more than the individual measure. A phased plan that places the work year by year is usually more use than a list of everything at once. The reporting obligation also means the carbon figure has to stand up, not just the saving.
Buildings heated through the holidays because the schedule was never adjusted. Grant funded work planned without the survey data to support the application. And older buildings on the estate carrying most of the consumption while attention goes to the newest.
Bring the estate in together and use the phased plan, so the work sits inside the budget you actually have each year.
Every measure we model is set out on what we cover, and how it works runs through the four steps.
