Description

Creative Building Performance is on a mission to enable businesses, particularly property sector practitioners to harness the data they already have, augment where necessary and leverage ‘smart’ technologies to enable firms to transition towards net zero carbon in tandem with growth strategies. The CBP Insight platform will demonstrate how Assets and Portfolios are performing in terms of sustainability, ESG and Net Zero

Typical usage scenario

A building owner requires to report annually on Greenhouse Gas emissions in order to comply with Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR). The owners portfolio covers 6 retail parks in 4 major UK cities, largely comprised of small industrial, office and retail units. They have a growth strategy which will result in an additional 100,000sqft of floor space acquired or constructed per year for the next 5 years. They also have a target to reduce total GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 in line with the UK Governments Net Zero strategy. The owner needs a simple, effective means of tracking performance of existing assets and planning how the growth strategy will impact their overall carbon emissions. They also need to be able communicate their progress to stakeholders to encourage the behaviours of the building users that will result in the target emissions reductions. 

As a side issue the owner wants to improve their reputation as socially responsible landlords so they have set some internal targets in relation to wellbeing days, gender equality in terms of staff salaries and adding social value in the areas where their sites are located – for example improving biodiversity and creating green space available for community use.
