Developing a sustainable energy pathway for a London property company 

 

Understand - Identifying the business benefits 

 

Our client wanted to make their property portfolio more efficient. From the beginning we helped them understand the real business benefits of investing in energy efficiency and renewable energy. We then worked with them to set clear objectives and acheive their goals. 

 

Deliver - Turning strategy into action

 

Lantern carried out an energy audit for a sample property specified by the client to benchmark where the company was against their new energy objectives. We also completed a wider evaluation of energy management across their property portfolio, and prepared a strategic briefing paper, outlining the legislative, financial and corporate business case for implementing an energy strategy.  We made recommendations for short, medium and long-term action to deliver energy savings and cost reductions across the estate​.

 

Evaluate - Seeing beyond cost-saving

 

As well as showing our client how they could reduce energy costs, we demonstrated how our recommendations would lead to wider benefits, including:

 

• improved working conditions for tenants

• reputation as a responsible and high-quality landlord

• well-maintained period properties

• legislative compliance and being prepared for future developments in policy

• a clear understanding of how to make their company more sustainable.
