Using Energy Audits to Develop Energy and Carbon Management Strategies
An energy audit is the start of the work, not the end of it. This workshop shows how to turn compliance findings into a real strategy.
What attendees explored
- What an energy audit actually involves, and the difference between on-site and remote approaches
- Applicable UK legislation and standards: ESOS, ISO 50001, SECR, CRP, PAS 2080, Science Based Targets, Whole Life Carbon Assessment
- The types of data needed and how to prioritise them across a mixed estate
- A worked example: scoring energy-using processes by frequency, climate change impact, legal impact and viability
- + 1 more topic covered on the day
Who this was for: Sustainability leads, facility managers, compliance officers, and consultants working across ESOS, SECR and ISO 50001.

Controlling Energy Use for Maximum Efficiency
The cheapest, cleanest energy is the energy you never use. Practical controls to make sure a business only consumes what it needs.
What attendees explored
- The energy-process-output framework for thinking about efficiency at any scale
- Common energy users across a typical site: lighting, heating, cooling, pumps, air handling units, compressed air, swimming pool plant, BMS
- The common issues that quietly drive consumption up: air leaks, mismatched compressor sizing, BMS schedules drifted out of step, pool covers rarely used
- How to spot the biggest losses on a site walk-round, and what half-hourly data can tell you before you turn up
- + 1 more topic covered on the day
Who this was for: Site managers, facilities teams, operations leads and energy engineers working on live estates.

Developing Business Cases to Gain Funding and Drive Energy Efficiency
A great idea without a business case is wishful thinking. How to build one that gets funded.
What attendees explored
- Why a business case matters: engagement, quantification, trust and change
- What the case actually is: cost reduction, sustainability targets, operational efficiency, compliance and client requirements
- The data you need to build a credible case, for both new investments and retrofits
- Knowing your audience: how to speak differently to finance, engineering, operations, leadership and investors
- + 2 more topics covered on the day
Who this was for: Sustainability leads and engineers who need to secure internal funding for efficiency work. Also useful for finance business partners supporting environmental investments.

How to Apply Whole-Life Carbon Assessments in the Built Environment
Understanding the carbon in the buildings you make, not just the ones you run.
What attendees explored
- What actually makes up whole-life carbon: A1-A5 (product and construction), B1-B7 (in-use), C1-C4 (end-of-life), and D (beyond the boundary)
- Where your organisation sits in the supply chain, and which elements you are responsible for
- Visualising the 15 Scope 3 categories in practice: from concrete and steel to insurance and building maintenance
- Standards and schemes: PAS 2080, ISO 14067, EN 15978, RICS Whole Life Carbon Assessment, BREEAM
- + 4 more topics covered on the day
Who this was for: Designers, architects, construction professionals, sustainability leads and procurement teams working on projects with carbon obligations.

The Fundamentals of Utilities Management
The overlooked engineering that decides your energy cost, resilience and emissions.
What attendees explored
- What good utilities management is trying to achieve: maximum efficiency, minimum infrastructure cost, lowest unit price, highest reliability, lowest environmental impact
- The three utilities in detail: electricity (MPAN, DNO, MOP, standing and capacity charges), gas (MPRN, GDN, MOP), water (SPID, wholesaler-retailer model)
- Trade effluent permits: when they are needed, what they regulate, and the discharge situations construction sites need to plan for
- Mains vs temporary supply: the real benefits and hidden costs of each
- + 3 more topics covered on the day
Who this was for: Site managers, construction and infrastructure professionals, sustainability leads, and project engineers responsible for connecting sites to utilities.
