Energy & Decarbonisation
Reducing energy consumption, operating costs and carbon emissions.
Virtus Consult helps organisations identify, develop and deliver practical opportunities to improve the energy performance of their buildings and estates.
Our experience includes structured energy reduction programmes across healthcare and education facilities, working with clients to assess existing energy consumption, identify appropriate improvements and manage their implementation.
We recognise that energy improvements must be commercially viable as well as technically effective. Our approach considers investment costs, achievable savings, operational constraints and the practical implications of delivering works within occupied buildings.
We can support clients through individual improvement projects or coordinated programmes across multiple properties.
Our Services
Energy Audits & Assessments
We help clients establish an understanding of existing energy consumption and identify opportunities for improvement.
Working with appropriate technical specialists where required, we review building fabric, plant, operational arrangements and available energy data to inform potential investment decisions.
Energy Reduction Programmes
We develop coordinated programmes of energy-efficiency improvements, prioritising measures against cost, potential savings, operational requirements and implementation constraints.
Our role can extend from identifying opportunities through procurement, delivery and subsequent performance review.
Decarbonisation & Retrofit Strategies
We support clients in considering options for reducing the carbon emissions associated with existing buildings and estates.
This can include reviewing building fabric improvements, heating and cooling systems, energy generation, plant replacement and the sequencing of investment across a property portfolio.
Procurement & Project Delivery
We manage the procurement and implementation of agreed energy improvement measures, including the coordination of designers, technical consultants, contractors and specialist suppliers.
Our services draw on Virtus’s wider Project Management, Quantity Surveying and Contract Administration experience.
Monitoring & Performance Evaluation
Following implementation, we support clients in reviewing the performance of completed measures against the intended objectives.
This can include coordinating the analysis of consumption data, reviewing operational performance and identifying whether further adjustments or improvements are required.
Our Approach
Our Experience
Virtus has developed and delivered energy reduction programmes for major healthcare organisations and education estates.
Our experience includes working within operational properties, where continuity of service, investment value and the practical sequencing of improvements are critical.
Our wider construction consultancy experience also enables us to support the procurement and delivery of energy and decarbonisation projects as part of broader refurbishment and estate investment programmes.
Selected case studies demonstrate the savings and improvements achieved through our previous commissions.
