Smart Buildings

According to the International Energy Agency, space heating and hot water account for 60% of global energy consumption in buildings

J Tomlinson’s low carbon team specialise in delivering standalone and integrated intelligent building solutions to our clients, harnessing smart technologies to optimise the energy and operational performance of your assets from the inside out.

Decarbonising your existing building portfolio

Advances in smart technology and government funding options means it’s now easier and more affordable than ever to retrofit and optimise your organisation’s portfolio of older buildings, helping to improve EPC ratings, reduce maintenance costs, and meet your corporate sustainability targets.

Older buildings are the largest consumers of energy and will undoubtedly be one of government’s key focus areas as the UK works towards its target to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

There are many ways in which you can decarbonise your assets from the inside out – all the way from improving the fabric of the building via energy-efficient insulation to the application of low carbon and renewable technologies such as heat pumps, solar PV and smart lighting.

We work with many environmentally conscious organisations who want to reduce their carbon emissions and environmental impact, but they’re not quite sure what steps they need to take to get there, or where to access best advice or funding opportunities.

Working closely with buildings and estate managers, J Tomlinson’s low carbon team can help you identify and prioritise the most cost-effective solutions, developing proposals to deliver the greatest environmental and economic impact when decarbonising your assets.

We offer a wide range of standalone or integrated solutions that can be tailored to your organisation’s goals and budgets, helping you to optimise and future-proof your existing spaces through:

• Reduced energy consumption and associated costs
• Improved energy efficiency (increase EPC ratings)
• ESOS compliance
• A reduced carbon footprint
• Improved health and wellbeing for occupants
• Improved operational efficiency
• Reduced maintenance costs
