Energy efficiency
Decarbonising the built environment means transforming the buildings we already have. We help public bodies, corporates and social landlords take estate-wide programmes from concept to implementation.
Heat decarbonisation
Heat is one of the hardest parts of the built environment to decarbonise. Our independent advice covers the policies, projects and infrastructure the transition requires.
Sustainable cooling
Cooling and heating needs are usually managed separately, at a cost to both. We provide practical guidance on integrated approaches across buildings and estates.
For more efficient, resilient and lower carbon buildings
Rising energy costs. Ageing assets. Tightening regulation. Residents and tenants expecting more. The organisations responsible for our buildings face pressures that arrive together and compete for the same budgets.
Decarbonisation works best when it answers those pressures at once. That means understanding how an estate performs today, knowing which assets to tackle first and in what order, and choosing heat and efficiency measures that suit the building in front of you.
We bring technical, commercial and policy expertise together so that plans hold up in practice, and we stay involved from assessment and business case through to procurement, delivery and the performance that follows.
Most organisations already know broadly what needs to happen to their buildings. The hard part is getting from a plan to a funded, procured project that delivers what it promised, and that is where independent advice earns its place.
Our buildings and infrastructure impact stories
Sustainability is at the heart of our business. Through our ‘Better with Bellway’ strategy we aim to create new and sustainable communities, putting people and the planet first. One of our strategic priorities is to reduce the carbon impact of our business and of the homes we build. We began working with the Carbon Trust several years ago to map our Scope 3 impacts as part of our strategy to set stretching and measurable science-based targets. The Carbon Trust’s assistance and expertise has been invaluable in guiding our work on Scope 3 emissions and target setting.
The Carbon Trust’s expertise and collaborative approach enabled us to cut through the complexities of science-based targets and develop reduction targets tailored to our operations. This analysis will form an essential part of Landsec’s sustainability strategy going forward.
Without sufficient understanding of where your emissions are coming from it is very difficult to manage them and make significant reductions. This is where the Carbon Trust really helped us.
