"Our ethos on sustainability is very much aligned to British Land's which makes it easier for us to implement our strategy. Other landlords don't have sustainability high up the agenda."
- Director of Facilities
Establish carbon partnerships in 8 multi-let buildings between occupiers and the building management with Arup support to achieve real reductions in energy and water consumption.
-
"Energy efficiency and sustainability are now built-in to our day-to-day working, not a separate issue. It's in everyone's interest to cut down on power usage and increase efficiency."
- Group Engineering Manager
Seek agreement from occupiers to install energy management systems in each building which will reduce energy consumption and ensure the ongoing optimisation of heating and cooling. Finance the capital cost of this through guaranteed savings which will be generated as a result.
-
"British Land is very proactive about sustainability. Their documentation is very good, and they are visibly supporting sustainability. It supports our business very well, and is certainly beneficial."
- Operations Manager
By 2012 achieve a 20% reduction of energy in the common parts of all buildings against a 2004 baseline.
