Capability 04

Energy Efficiency, Buildings & Infrastructure

Energy audits, retrofit feasibility and the operational systems that keep efficiency gains in place after handover.

When this matters

Buildings must be audited, prioritised, retrofitted and then actually operated the way they were designed to be.

Why it usually goes wrong

Efficiency programmes are usually judged on what was installed. They should be judged on what is still working in year five.

The pattern is consistent: a portfolio is audited, measures are specified, works are delivered, and the building is handed to people who were never part of the design and given no protocol for operating what they now own. Savings decay quietly. Nobody is at fault, because nobody was ever made responsible for the operating stage.

We treat operation as part of the scope rather than as someone else’s problem. An audit tells you what to do; a prioritisation tells you what to do first; an operations protocol is what makes either of them last.

Retrofit decisions also carry structural consequences a purely energy-focused audit will not surface. Reviewing those in the same assignment, rather than discovering them at works stage, is why structural capability sits inside this discipline rather than beside it.

What we do

  • Building energy audits and performance diagnostics
  • Retrofit feasibility, including structural review
  • Public lighting and public-building efficiency programmes
  • Operations and maintenance protocol design

Questions this answers

  • Which buildings and measures should be prioritised first?
  • Does the retrofit hold up structurally?
  • Who operates this system after handover, and how?

What you get

  • Building energy audit report
  • Retrofit prioritisation list
  • Operations & maintenance protocol

A building energy audit, a prioritisation list ordered by return rather than by ease, and an operations and maintenance protocol written for the people who will actually use it.
