A key challenge in delivering decarbonisation and reducing energy consumption is understanding the nature and scale of the issue. Gaining access to the right data and understanding what they are saying is crucial to knowing how best to invest most effectively. Nearly all PPP schemes will have a level of energy reporting requirements included within their contracts, however, the supporting detail can vary significantly. Working collaboratively with private sector partners to improve energy reporting whether through improving the link between metering and the building management system or where necessary providing additional metering or data logging will help to better understand the challenges and identify the best solution.
