This time, I’m sharing some insightful numbers and data regarding the energy consumption and carbon emissions of our own estate. I talk about the progress made in reducing our carbon footprint over the past year and highlight the importance of striving for net-zero emissions.
I’ll be providing specific examples of different sites within the portfolio, detailing the electric usage and the corresponding square foot rates, as well as emphasising the impact of factors such as occupancy, winter temperatures, and customer activity on energy consumption.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Energy consumption can vary significantly between different locations. It is important to analyse and understand the specific energy needs of each site in order to make informed decisions and improvements.
- Efficient building design and infrastructure can have a significant impact on energy consumption.
- Gas heating contributes a significant portion of emissions and will need to be replaced with more sustainable alternatives, such as biomass or electric heating. However, the financial attractiveness of biomass heating has decreased, making the transition more challenging.
- Awareness and control of energy usage can lead to improvements. Simple measures like installing timers for extract fans or implementing energy-efficient lighting can make a noticeable difference in energy consumption.
