Hello and welcome to the October issue of Tomorrow’s FM.
Energy Management & Sustainability heads up our feature focus this month. It seems a fitting time to be covering the topic, as a week before writing this editor’s voice, Rishi Sunak watered down the United Kingdom’s policies to reach Net Zero by 2050. This included delaying the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in the UK from 2030 to 2035, scrapping plans to force landlords to upgrade the energy efficiency of properties, and provide more time for people to upgrade from gas boilers to heat pumps.

For some, these changes reek of a politician trying to claim a political advantage, for others, it provides more time to ensure targets are more achievable. As the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) made clear, the Prime Minister’s decision to water down energy and environmental policies should come as no surprise as there never was a “proper plan” for delivery. CEO David Frise said: “It has been clear for some time that political will was wavering and that there never was a coherent plan for meeting net zero targets. This constant chopping and changing on policy is hugely damaging to business confidence. It makes it much harder to persuade the relevant companies to invest in the necessary technology, processes, and skills.”
In our feature on Energy Management & Sustainability this month, Dr Stephen Wise, Chief Strategic Development Officer at Advetec, explains how FMs can call upon their waste managers to support with Scope 3 reporting and Pradyumna Pandit, Managing Director of Energy and Decarbonisation at Mitie, looks at the difficulties involved in decarbonising listed buildings and how to overcome them.
The Winter Maintenance spotlight sees the Grounds Care Group discussing winter gritting in the era of climate change, whilst we hear from Daniel May of Consort on the integration of access control systems in healthcare settings.
