The science of accelerating the pathway to net zero

• Energy efficiency audits for 90 buildings
• ISO50001 Energy Management Standard achieved
• Further savings of 147 gigawatt hours (GWh) forecast over the next one and a half years

拥有一大片地产, the client was already investing in solar and wind-powered base stations, sustainable end-user devices, 能源-efficient data centres and recycling initiatives. In order to fulfil its ambitious Corporate Social Responsibility commitments, it enlisted the help of Mitie的 计划为零 team to accelerate the journey to net zero.

Our 计划为零 consultants are experts in the built environment, 可再生能源, transport and e-mobility, waste resources and biodiversity net-gain. Through establishing stretching targets and developing compelling commercial models, Mitie makes net zero happen. Mitie was the first facilities management organisation to commit to reaching net zero carbon by 2025, 25 years ahead of UK 政府 targets. Mitie was also the Positive Climate Action winner in the 2021 IWFM 奖. We have been ranked the number one business support services company globally for sustainability by Sustainalytics.

90 能源 efficiency audits for offices, call centres, mobile telephone exchanges and data centres

Working closely with our client we audited 90 of their buildings for 能源 usage and efficiency. Checking each building’s lighting, heating and air conditioning systems we optimised the settings and made sure they were operating at the highest 能源 efficiency rating.

Sensors monitor 能源 usage in network critical infrastructure buildings

In locations where 24/7 power supply is essential such as such as data centres and Mobile Telephone Exchange sites we used our 连接的工作区 sensors to provide real time data and insight.

Temperature sensors were deployed so that airflow could be adjusted remotely making sure equipment was stored correctly and 能源 saving opportunities were identified.

类似的, in offices and call centres, sensors in air conditioning systems enabled air temperature to be managed remotely and at speed. This modification reduced 能源 use and improved the comfort of building users. 自2017年以来, the client’s data centres, offices and retail stores have been ISO50001 Energy Management Standard accredited.

Hibernating buildings on weekends, bank holidays and during lockdowns

Further 能源 savings were produced by helping the organisation to reduce the number of buildings open at weekends and on bank holidays. During the Covid-19 lockdown, many staff were required to work from home, which meant Mitie could use tried and tested processes to assist with the hibernation of more buildings than usual.

Mitie的 零计划策略 has produced considerable savings of over 25,000 tonnes of CO2 and over £10m in 能源 costs for our client.

Mitie continues to support the client’s investment in solar and wind-powered base stations, sustainable end-user devices, 能源-efficient data centres and recycling initiatives. Over the next one and a half years, we forecast the client will save a further 147GWh.

The efficiencies achieved are truly transformational and demonstrate that Mitie的 零计划策略 enables organisations to accelerate their journey to net zero.
