Half the Halve: Quadruple Award Winning Carbon Reduction Project
In our ambition to improve building performance, we used half-hourly meter data to expose where energy was being wasted and found that approximately half of our energy was being consumed out of hours. With this knowledge, we were able to prioritise low cost operational fixes such as adjusting heating schedules that allowed us to reduce our energy.
