Low carbon commercial real estate
mission summary
The built environment accounts for around 47% of CO2 emissions in the UK with a significant proportion of this relating purely to the running and operating of existing buildings and their facilities.
MITIE Energy is supporting The Low Carbon Commercial Real Estate Network on 2degrees with the aim of identifying and working with skilled partners to create simple innovative solutions that still maintain bottom line revenues for the owners and operators of existing commercial real estate whilst reducing environmental impact.
Other members of this network include renewable energy technologists, IT integrators, HVAC technology manufacturers and installers, quantity surveyors, financial investors, environmental consultants and academics.
If you would like to join this network and support MITIE Energy in its mission to make buildings, and their facilities, smarter, greener, safer and better run, we would welcome your company.

Does you Air Conditioning System comply?As of January 4th 2009 if the building you own or occupy has an air-conditioning system above 250 kW installed it will be required to be inspected by an accredited Low Carbon Energy Assessor under the EU's Energy Performance in Buildings Directive (EPBD). Those over 12kW must be inspected by January 2011. Regular ongoing inspections of this system (maximum of every 5 years) will also be required. |

Green Buildings and Sustainability - AustraliaFurther research from DTZ on sustainability and the property market. Green building rating systems across Australia and New Zealand have developed piecemeal over recent years as governments and organisations come to terms with new construction techniques, demand from tenants and pressure from consumers to become more sustainable. This document, one in a series from DTZ Research, attempts to provide an overview of these differing systems and analyse the effects on businesses, both landlord and tenant, of following and implementing one or more of these systems. |

Ground Source Heat Pump Case StudyI thought the members of the Low Carbon Real Estate Network may be interested in a case study we produced after installing one of our own Ground Source systems into our HQ office building in Hatfield. This report details the application, installation and energy moitoring of a Mitsubishi Electric PQHY-P200YGM-A water sourced variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system combined with a closed loop ground array. The data in this case study was obtained after running the system in both heating and cooling mode and at 50, 75 and 100% load profiles. The study details performance in various seasons. The study concludes with an analysis of annual part load running efficiencies, running costs, power consumptions, pump and indoor power consumption as well as CO2 emissions. If you would like any more details then please do not hesitate to contact me at martin.fahey@meuk.mee.com |
