BUILDING PERFORMANCE
to make use of a dynamic monitoring and management system, supplied by EP&T, which measures energy use every 15 minutes and can isolate consumption from different systems in the building. This helps building management teams to identify and optimise energy consumption and secure reductions. British Land has contributed to,
or developed, a range of initiatives aimed at improving understanding of energy performance. These have included: landlord display energy certificate prototypes at 18 multi-let office buildings; working through the Better Building Partnership to help create an landlord energy rating scheme; contributing to the Technology Strategy Board study on design versus operational energy; and taking part in consultations on the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme, the Green Deal and with the Energy Efficiency Deployment Office on its energy reduction strategy for the UK. British Land has also worked to increase the transparency of its own data. Its Full Data Report 2012 was made available online, and it has published building data for its largest 33 properties.
The results Through a forward-thinking approach to energy management, British Land has achieved a 27% reduction in landlord- influenced energy use (based on a 2009 baseline and improving on a 15% reduction in 2011). Having exceeded British Land’s reduction of 20% target over three years

from 2009 to 2012, the company has set itself a new challenge of reducing landlord-influenced energy use by 40% for 2015, alongside a 30% reduction in landlord-influenced energy use for major new buildings within five years. The firm’s approach has been recognized by organisations such as the Carbon Disclosure Project Leadership 2012, in which British Land improved its year-on-year score to 96%. It also achieved the Carbon Trust Standard for achievements in reducing carbon emissions from energy use across its managed portfolio.
