Why do buildings matter ?
Why do buildings matter ?
The footprint of the buildings and constructions sectors is large, which means that the positive impact can also be large. The sectors can therefore make a substantial contribution in realizing the SDGs and the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
A building contributes to energy usage in two ways: operational energy and embodied energy. For a typical office building, around 10-15% of energy usage is from embodied energy. While operational energy savings are important, embodied energy also plays a critical role. The indicator used to measure materials efficiency is embodied energy, which is the primary energy demand for its production.
Buildings Energy & Water Efficiency Assessments
Buildings Energy & Water Efficiency Assessments
At SHIFT, we use two major assessment tools to evaluate the energy and water efficiency of both new and existing buildings such as hotels, offices and commercial buildings to hospitals and educational facilities.
The results provide the basis for prioritising measures against capex availability before progressing to final design and implementation.
Smart Metering & Monitoring of Utilies Usage/Costs
Smart Metering & Monitoring of Utilies Usage/Costs
At SHIFT we take a strategic approach to metering and monitoring i.e. installing the least number of submeters necessary to measure precisely the key uses of energy and water, then collecting and analysing data regularly to spot inherent utilisation inefficiencies, wasteful practices or losses of energy and water which have gone undetected for many years or even decades, so that rectification measures can be implemented quickly.
