General Overview - Breakdown by Scope - 2024
Systems Integration
- Carbon Emissions Reduction: The integration of advanced systems has led to a 19% reduction in carbon emissions compared to standard heat pump configurations, supporting decarbonisation goals in large buildings.
- Complex Heat Pump Integration: Integrating air, water, and ground source heat pumps into existing building footprints presents unique challenges, requiring bespoke solutions for each site due to increased electrical demands and heat recovery needs.
- Expert-Led Collaboration: The company has invested in integration specialists who work across design, controls, and commissioning to ensure seamless operation of diverse plant systems, overcoming issues like temperature variance and software compatibility.
- Live System Upgrades: Successful projects include, University of Sussex, Cottons Centre, The Gherkin and other works under NDA including a live international bank, where major upgrades were completed without disrupting live services, showcasing precise planning and execution.
- Strong Manufacturer Partnerships: Collaboration with leading manufacturers like Hoval and Daikin enables tailored solutions through technical workshops, factory tests, and shared expertise, ensuring optimal year-round system performance.
Build Your Carbon Reduction Trajectory
- Bring together the stakeholders in your climate strategy
- Place the action suggestions from the Greenly report on the matrix after identifying
their constraints - Keep all feasible actions and prioritize those with the greatest impact

Engage
ENGAGE your ecosystem (suppliers and customers) and ask about their reduction strategy, in order to prioritise virtuous suppliers.
Raise awareness
INCREASE your teams’ awareness of climate change using our platform to alert and facilitate the implementation of your reduction actions.
These first steps will enable you to maximise your chances of success in implementing reduction actions.
What reduction measures can my company take?
The reduction actions we recommend are selected with:
