Reduce emissions from buildings

Greenhouse gas emissions from buildings worldwide are set to increase sharply over the next two decades with building-related GHG emissions potentially doubling by 2030 (IPCC, 2010).Camco has an unmatched pedigree in low carbon buildings, applying a mixture of technical and financial skills to develop and implement energy and carbon reduction strategies for exisiting properties and major developments including; pioneering retrofit programmes such as Retrofit South East, Retrofit for the Future and Retrofit for Reality; non-domestic carbon abatement assessment and Post Occupancy Evaluation for multiple clients including DECC and British Land; and large-scale regeneration including Wembley City, Bath Western Riverside, and the first One Planet Community in China.We advise on low carbon strategies for major new-build and refurbishment projects covering elements such as:
  • Integrated building design
  • Building form and fabric
  • Controls and building energy management systems
  • Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning
  • Lighting
  • Post-occupancy evaluation
  • Funding and finance
  • Sustainable water systems
  • Integration of low and zero carbon technologies
  • Low embodied energy materials
  • Energy from waste strategies
