Making buildings smarter

Condition Reporting

As part of contract mobilisation, we will complete a condition survey undertaken by a member of our dedicated technical team, to assess condition, risk, energy improvements, asset verification and life cycle planning. The survey will verify the assets on site and score these based on their condition and age versus CIBSE life cycle benchmarks and operational status. From here the assets are loaded into our Carbon Reduction database to provide a life cycle report that is sent upon request to assist with budget management.

Capital Expenditure Reports

The benefits of the CAPEX report are to help our clients forecast their likely expenditures over a 5-year period. These reports provide a rating of condition against each building asset and thereafter apply a lifecycle assessment to each asset The reports break down the expenditure into the below 4 areas:

Building energy performance surveys

Hemlow can provide energy performance surveys focusing on the main building energy consumers.

Our desktop review identifies the building energy supply types, meter types, occupancy patterns, historical energy usage and expenditure and current EPC and DEC ratings.

We will also review if the client has any energy procurement strategies. We consult with our clients to set SMART goals and desired outcomes, where feasible, for managing energy within their buildings targeting a reduction in energy and costs, Co² emissions and potential improvements on the building’s EPC ratings.

Our technical on-site investigations focus on the use and management of plant and equipment to identify specific energy saving measures. From here our reports aim to identify energy-saving opportunities by defining the practical next steps aligned to a prioritised risk register with the potential carbon reduction possibilities, any impacts on EPC rating, running cost reductions, return on investment calculations for any improvement works.
