CLIENT ENERGY MANAGEMENT BRITISH LAND
Central to its energy-reduction strategy
has been an energy monitoring and optimisation process, developed and implemented by EP&T Global. British Land has used EP&T’s Edge Mars monitoring, analysis and reporting tool since 2009, starting with a trial at its London head office York House. The encouraging results gave the team the confidence to roll-out the technology in 11 properties (nine office buildings and two shopping centres, with agreement from more than 40 occupiers) across its portfolio, with more to follow. ‘At our York House head office more
experts, investing in leading technologies, sharing information, encouraging behavioural change and managing buildings efficiently,’ says Justin Snoxall, head of British Land’s business group. British Land scooped the Client Energy
Management Award at this year’s CIBSE Awards, following its success in the Building Operation category in 2011. And it’s not just CIBSE’s judging panel that has recognised the achievements the property owner has made on energy reduction: the firm was named as one of the Sunday Times Top 60 Green Companies 2011 and was a double winner in the Guardian Sustainable Business Awards 2011.

than £64,000 of savings are attributable to the optimisation process (as at 31 March 2012),’ says Snoxall. ‘This has contributed significantly to the 51% reduction in British Land-controlled energy use we have achieved over the last three years, as well as the 14% reduction we have helped occupiers to achieve in their areas.’ The 2011 Landlord Energy Statement for York House confirms that energy efficiency has improved significantly in recent years, with 55kg of carbon per m2
in landlord-
controlled areas in 2011 (C rating), compared to 101 kg in 2009 (E rating). The roll-out of the Edge technology has required almost £1m of capital investment so far, sourced through a range of different funding methods agreed with occupiers in each building. These have been through: l The service charge – with occupiers benefiting from energy cost savings l Third-party funding – paid back through energy cost savings l Funding from British Land – with
