Title (Hyperlink)
Summary
Light tubes were installed at the operation phase of a building

The practice describes the implementation of 29 light tubes at the premises of the Environment Agency, based in Brampton.

Through providing natural lighting to the building, the organisation aims to reduce its overall energy consumption and cut down its carbon emissions.

A Decentralised CHP plant was specified for and implemented at Airbus

A CHP plant (decentralised system) was specified for and installed at the premises of Airbus, located at Broughton.

The station provides for 100% of the building’s thermal energy requirements and approximately 36% of its electricity consumption.

Temporary relocation of operations produces financial savings at "No Cost" management approach

Energy savings of over 12,000 kWh were achieved through the development and implementation of an Energy Management strategy by the FM team at Amey plc.
 
The approach is based on a direct reduction of energy consumption through the closure of building operations during periods of low business activity.

A survey of Utilities consumption in a hotel supports developing a "No Cost" strategy for cost reduction

A monitoring and control programme aimed at reducing the consumption of basic utilities (electricity, water, gas and other fuels) was designed for and implemented at the Apex Hotels, based in Dundee.

The strategy involves a detailed breakdown of the utility consumption in the building. Implementation of the practice was strengthened and followed up by a firm monitoring procedure.

An assessment of the Energy Consumption of a Stadium highlighted fine-tunning errors

This energy management strategy can be described as the evaluation of operations and setting in place of corrective measures. It was developed for and implemented at The Galpharm Stadium, located in Huddersfield.

The approach aims at improving the performance of HVAC systems, 15 years after the construction stage of the building when the systems were first installed.

A Sustainable Travel Plan was developed for and implemented by a Not for profit organisation

A Green Travel Plan was developed and implemented by the Facilities Team at Cancer Research UK’s Clare Hall site.

The strategy aims to reduce the organisation´s impact on the environment whilst complying with the local council´s Planning Strategy.

A Solar Photovoltaic system was specified for and implemented at the Greater London Authority

The Greater London Authority procured a PV (Photovoltaic) system comprised of 617 panels to be installed on the roof of the City Hall building.

All PV panels are bespoke units made to fit the domed roof.  Glass/glass laminated panels replaced the former mesh shading device (known as the eyelash) around the circumference of the roof.
