The challenge to decarbonise the UK’s education facilities is a significant challenge. With 80% of the buildings that will be in use by 2050 having already been built, upgrading and developing existing systems and real estate will be essential. The beautiful and historical listed buildings that are key focal points for higher education establishments are amongst the most significant challenges for reducing carbon emissions.
Heat pumps and solar panels alone will not be enough to achieve net-zero. The use of the spaces within education facilities is continually adapting, and a data-led, digital approach could be the best solution in planning for net-zero.
Gathering data from intelligent systems and operating smart buildings can help understand how spaces are utilised to inform decision-making, manage performance and operate on the best value strategy.
Compared to legacy pumping solutions, replacing outdated pumps with new, highly efficient smart pumps can reduce energy during operation. Additionally, smart pumps can also provide insight into building use and operations, supporting a smart buildings strategy.
Achieving energy and carbon savings in legacy education establishments
Our pumps offer onboard technology gathering data on system performance and operation, which can be transmitted to remote monitoring systems. Using the pump as a sensor provides the most dynamic and accurate means of understanding system performance. Storing information and managing data will be the enabler of future transformation on the road to upgrading infrastructure to be net-zero.
Our energy audits can help identify pump upgrade opportunities. All proposals are based on exact site data and measurement, including performance and energy reduction calculations and a clear ROI.
