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
