Creating a strategy to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030 across a portfolio of historic college buildings.

Instructed as building surveyor and project manager, we carried out detailed analysis to produce a comprehensive portfolio strategy report to illustrate how the client could achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030 across an eight-year period. 

Through conducting in-depth technical analysis and understanding the college’s baseline emissions and energy usage, we were able to explore possibilities to reach a feasible solution. A solution was realised through the strategy, seeing the buildings thermally upgraded and the use of electric heat production measures to minimise carbon emissions.  

We provided a deep level of expertise into renewables as well as an unparalleled understanding of historic buildings; ensuring a highly sensitive approach was taken to achieve a viable and appropriate solution. 

Collectively, the client and teams worked enthusiastically with a shared willingness to see historic colleges commit to a more sustainable future.
