Globally, buildings have a major impact upon the environment through their carbon dioxide emissions, and use of energy, water and resources. Plus we’re all now spending 90% of our time indoors, on average, due to work, travel and home life.
The case for creating people and planet-friendly buildings has never been clearer.
However, building owners, managers and landlords aren’t sustainability experts and, given the range of issues that need to be addressed, it’s understandable they may think ‘Where do I start?’.
At SHIFT, we understand this feeling which is why we’ve channelled 15-years of experience into creating unique audit and accreditation systems. This provides our clients with an easy-to-understand, practical roadmap outlining how to turn their existing building stock into a sustainable resource which saves money, improves efficiency and meets regulations. This enables clients to effectively plan work and financial budgets, all the way to 2050 if required.
Our services
We take pride in the fact that our experience and independence means we offer unbiased and reliable advice. You can have confidence knowing our roadmap is in the best interest of your company, your clients and the planet when you present it to management and boards of directors.
The SHIFT approach is offered as the following services:
SHIFT Sustainability Standard
Specifically for social landlords, we’ve created bespoke tools and calculators for our SHIFT sustainability standard. This enables our expert team to assess the full environmental impact of your activities and deliver a bespoke action plan for embedding sustainability.
SECR Reporting
We convert your raw data into energy and carbon dioxide emissions – scope 1, 2 and 3 – and produce a statement report in the correct format to meet your building stock’s Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting (SECR) legal requirements.
ESG Reporting
The SHIFT approach aligns with the ‘environmental’ part of the current iteration of the Environmental Social & Governance (ESG) reporting, showing how the building stock adheres to ESG expectations.
EPC/SAP
Post-Occupancy Evaluation
For both new-build and refurbishments, SHIFT can monitor energy, water use plus a range of other environmental features, analysing how practical operation meets design intent.
Net Zero Carbon Roadmaps
We put your operational carbon dioxide emissions under the microscope and produce a detailed road map outlining the measures necessary to achieve 2050 Net Zero compliance.
