Q3’s engineering team works in partnership with energy specialists ETS, to deliver energy efficiency and decarbonisation services for your organisation.

Whatever the sector in which you operate, your location, or the size of your business, our team will be able identify and address inefficiencies,and introduce programmes to better manage your energy consumption. And we can deliver energy services within an existing integrated FM or hard services contract or delivered through a series of stand-alone projects. The goal is the same… to help your organisation manage the carbon footprint of its real estate operation more efficiently and support your journey to Net Zero.

 

‘‘Inadequate initial commissioning, operational issues and real-time performance degradation is estimated to increase energy consumption by 15 to 30 percent in commercial buildings.”
– CIBSE 

 

Seamless BMS systems to maximise energy efficiency

Today, buildings generate massive data that’s accessible to maximise the potential for remote control, comfort management, lighting management, IoT sensors, fire systems, and security systems. BEMS (Building Energy Management Systems) integrate software and hardware seamlessly, allowing all that data to be translated into an actionable building optimisation plan.

Our holistic approach can make up the energy performance gap for your buildings and maximise the value of this data. The journey starts with an overall audit, including data collection, and upgrade action plan to uncover the most valuable opportunities for your commercial real estate.

 

Our approach to identify inefficiencies in your building

A comprehensive energy audit and detailed on-site energy surveys are a critical starting point, incorporating energy data analysis, load profiling, identifying significant energy users (SEU), and examining all energy-consuming systems like pumps, fans, compressed air, HVAC, refrigeration, lighting, steam and industrial processes. This provides an accurate picture of your buildings’ energy performance, providing the foundation for our building optimisation team to implement energy-saving initiatives that will optimise energy consumption and reduce costs.

Our end-to-end energy management support through your operation lifecycle, involves condition-based reports that give you a better understanding of equipment and ongoing maintenance and monitoring that provide you with complete visibility and control. We aim to promote a healthy and thriving ecosystem within and around the building, which supports business growth, improves air quality, reduces energy costs, and enhances the overall aesthetics and functionality of the space. We are here to help build resilience and futureproof your buildings for years to come

 

Map out your Decarbonisation Strategies

Decarbonising your buildings will reduce your energy bills and help you adhere to sustainable compliance and environmental regulations, which is profitable and a long-term win. Our sustainability team can guide you through the latest ESG compliances and map out your Net Zero objectives, energy usage analysis, and carbon strategy evaluation – helping you become a sustainability leader in your field.

We offer ESOS guidance and SECR reporting for large companies, and we can apply ISO50001 to all processes. Implementing a well-structured Energy Management System (EnMS) can empower your real estate and harness of energy data analytics.

We are dedicated to improving operational efficiency, helping you realise the huge opportunities possible through building decarbonisation. We focus on enhancing building materials, HVAC systems, lighting upgrades, renewables and new technologies to reduce energy consumption and improve overall performance and comfort conditions. To accelerate the integration of renewable energy and progress towards achieving Net Zero, the feasibility assessment will include a calculation of the return on investment and explore possibilities at scale.

The primary benefits of energy efficiency and corporate sustainability services:

Sustainable growth

Implementing energy management practices reduces environmental impact, minimises carbon footprint, conserves resources, attracts eco-conscious customers, enhances corporate reputation, and drives long-term growth and competitiveness.

Energy cost monitoring and prediction

Remote energy monitoring can reduce waste and forecast future needs and costs, enabling an action plan and budget accordingly. It is the core for mapping out the Net Zero journey.

The power of energy data

Data visualisation creates more opportunities for businesses to achieve energy efficiency and supports corporates in making data-driven decisions. A customised energy dashboard can be the best tool for your building team.

Enterprise-wide efficiency

According to IEA research, buildings’ operations contribute 30% of global final energy usage and 26% of energy-related emissions worldwide. A holistic audit can uncover building inefficiency at every corner and help tackle operational efficiency.

Actively tackle climate change

Apply energy efficiency practices to win long-term growth in both portfolio and sustainability. With sustainability reporting, you can confidently identify and achieve significant energy savings, effectively track progress, manage metrics, and avoid compliance failure penalties.

Testimonials

I just wanted to send in my thanks to Emma, who helped me on Saturday when my Mum passed out in front of TK Maxx. Emma was very friendly, calm and efficient, I don't know what I would have done without her. She was so professional and knew exactly what was needed I couldn't believe it when screens turned up and a wheel chair, all organised by Emma without making myself or especially my Mum feel stupid or an inconvenience. Please can you pass on mine, my Mum's and family's thanks to Emma, she is a star and a very kind person.
