EVORA developed a five-stage process to establish a clear and practical Energy Management Strategy, including the first ever energy reduction target for DWS in Europe.

The strategy benefited from our end-to-end service delivery excellence, as EVORA took primary responsibility for data management, completion of technical building audits, Monitoring & Targeting programmes and regular engagement with key stakeholders.

Buy-in was key to the success of the project. Through effective planning and clear execution, all parties involved were fully aware and supportive of their responsibilities to achieving the project goals

Through the completion of energy audits and creation of asset-level energy reduction plans, EVORA established a two-year 6% portfolio-wide energy reduction target. Eighteen months into the programme, portfolio usage was 8.4% below the baseline, with a predicted position of 9% under at year end. The programme has exceeded expectations and led to the following achievements:

• Energy saving of approximately 3.6million kWh
• Carbon savings of approximately 5,023 tonnes CO₂
• Cost saving of approximately £306,000
