Our appointment
BFY Carbon Strategies were engaged by a global data centre operator to drive operational Net Zero Carbon across their European estate, identifying efficiency measures to enhance financial and environmental performance.
£396k in-year cash benefit: The audit identified inefficiencies in energy management, highlighting key areas for cost reduction and system optimisation.
Audit Strategy: BFY conducted an Investment Grade Audit to establish a baseline, identify inefficiencies, and develop a roadmap to reduce grid reliance and achieve Net Zero Carbon. Historical energy data analysis provided a precise reference for performance improvements.
Existing System Optimisation: Significant energy waste was identified in the cooling systems, presenting opportunities for energy reduction and heat recovery integration into a secondary heat network. Implementing onsite renewable energy solutions reduces grid dependency, lowers operational costs, and enhances NOI, with projected long-term savings.
