Sectors
The technical challenges and decision-making context vary significantly by industry. A hotel’s priority is guest comfort. A brewery’s is process heat. A mid-sized manufacturer is navigating electrification without a dedicated energy team. We work within each sector’s specific constraints, language, and commercial priorities.
01
Hospitality & Leisure
Energy costs typically represent 10-15% of a hotel’s operating expenses, and a significant portion of that spend is avoidable. Heating systems sized for peak demand running year-round, hot water provided by inefficient boilers, and HVAC operating at full capacity during low occupancy. At the same time, guest expectations around sustainability are rising, EPC targets are tightening, and energy prices remain volatile.
Our approach balances operating cost, occupant comfort, and carbon performance. Our work on leisure centres — with a very similar energy profile to hotels — has delivered 35% energy cost reductions across multi-site portfolios.
02
Commercial Real Estate
MEES standards are shifting — EPC C by 2027, probably B by 2030. CRREM alignment is becoming a normal investor requirement. Tenants, particularly corporate occupiers, are increasingly considering sustainability in leasing decisions. For portfolio owners, the question is no longer whether to act, but how to prioritise a significant capital programme across assets in varying condition.
We combine technical proficiency with an understanding of property economics. Every recommendation comes with NPV, payback, and capex phasing that aligns with business planning horizons — giving asset managers and fund managers what they need to make defensible investment decisions.
03
Food & Beverage Manufacturing
Process heat — steam, hot water, and refrigeration — accounts for the majority of energy consumption in food and beverage production, typically 5-12% of total production costs. Major customers are increasingly pushing suppliers on Scope 3 emissions. Technical solutions exist — high-temperature heat pumps, electric boilers, biogas, heat recovery — but evaluating them properly requires expertise most mid-sized producers don’t carry in-house.
We provide process heat decarbonisation analysis designed around production continuity, covering energy mapping, technology feasibility, heat recovery, and phased implementation. We also support grant applications (IETF and equivalent schemes) that can materially improve project economics.
04
Industrial SMEs
Electrification & Process Optimisation
Mid-sized manufacturers in plastics, packaging, print, light engineering, and textiles face a particular bind. Energy is a significant cost (often 5-10% of revenue), electrification decisions are increasingly urgent, yet there is no dedicated energy manager to evaluate options. Vendor proposals arrive with optimistic projections and limited independent verification. The risk of a costly wrong decision is real.
We provide independent technical advisory covering heat pump and electric boiler feasibility, compressed air and motor drive audits, critical review of vendor proposals, and business case development including grants and incentives. We understand that capex decisions in an SME have a different risk profile from a large corporate.
