Decarbonisation Reports

Helping Commercial Properties Reduce Carbon Emissions and Improve Energy Efficiency

Decarbonisation is a critical step for businesses aiming to improve energy efficiency, lower operational costs, and contribute to sustainability goals. Our decarbonisation reports provide a structured approach to reducing carbon emissions in commercial and non-domestic properties. Using government-recognised software, we assess your building and propose three stages of improvements to maximise energy efficiency and carbon reduction.

What Are Decarbonisation Reports?

A decarbonisation report is a detailed assessment of a building’s current energy performance and carbon footprint. Our reports outline practical and achievable measures to improve energy efficiency while balancing feasibility and impact. This structured approach ensures that property owners can make informed decisions about energy upgrades.

Our Three-Stage Approach to Decarbonisation:

We provide a tiered strategy to suit different budgets, timescales, and sustainability ambitions:

1. Surface Level Improvement

   • Quick, high-impact upgrades that offer immediate benefits.
   • Minimal disruption and low-cost solutions that are easy to implement.
   • Examples include LED lighting, smart controls, improved insulation, and basic HVAC optimisations.

2. Conventional Retrofit

   • A balanced approach that prioritises energy efficiency following the ‘fabric first’ principle.
   • Includes building envelope improvements, HVAC system enhancements, and integration of renewable energy sources.
   • Designed to maximise energy savings while remaining cost-effective and feasible.

3. Deep Retrofit

   • A comprehensive, future-proofed strategy for maximum carbon reduction.
   • Incorporates advanced technologies and full-scale building modifications to achieve the highest energy efficiency levels.
   • Suitable for projects where funding is available, or long-term sustainability is the priority.

Detailed Impact Assessment

In addition to the three-stage strategy, we provide a breakdown of each measure and its impact on carbon emissions, energy demand, energy savings costs, and EPC ratings. This allows clients to understand the benefits of each upgrade individually as well as collectively within the staged approach.

Tailored Reports for Your Needs

We customise our reports to meet your specific goals, whether you are developing a net-zero strategy, applying for grant funding, or simply looking to make impactful changes to reduce emissions. Our assessments have supported clients in securing funding, setting sustainability benchmarks, and driving meaningful action on climate change.
