drive for resource efficiency
and carbon reduction
Sustainability and zero carbon emissions are
more than just buzz terms - the UK Parliament,
and more locally Bath and North East Somerset
Council, have declared a climate emergency,
and modern businesses can no longer afford
to ignore their impact on the environment.
Property is estimated to contribute to
30% of national emissions and therefore
commercial property has a significant
role to play in achieving national reduction
targets.
South West based HPH Commercial
Property has worked on the environmental
performance of its buildings for over 20
years and has been measuring its carbon
footprint for 11 years. The company owns
and manages a range of office, industrial
and retail property across the region.
In 2016 HPH committed to a further
reduction in energy consumption and
CO 2 emissions of 30% by 2021. In doing
so HPH was the first property portfolio in
the country to benefit from Lloyds Bank
Commercial Real Estates’ Green Lending
Initiative.
Recently the company has refurbished
Bewley House in Chippenham, improving
the Energy Performance Certificates for
the space from rating D to B.
The raft of energy efficiency measures
include: full conversion to LED lighting,
intelligent lighting controls, high
performance window film, voltage
optimisation, electric vehicle charging
points and a new high efficiency
heating system with online controls and
monitoring.
Lindsay Holdoway, Managing Director
of HPH said, “We strive for efficiency
and reduction in the use of resources in
everything we do. Eleven years ago we
became a carbon neutral company and we
continually monitor, asses and innovate to
reduce consumption for ourselves and our
tenants.
”The result is a lower environmental
impact, lower costs and improved working
environments for healthier and more
stimulating work places.
”Bewley House is the most recent
example and we have let over 7,000 sq
ft in the last two months to two global
organisations.”
