Apleona CTS implement impressive energy efficiency achievements for iconic building in London’s skyline
Apleona CTS is thrilled to report that by implementing energy-saving measures, they have successfully calculated a total savings of over 1,600,000 kW and over £300,000 for their client BNP Paribas Real Estate, at their building 70 St. Mary Axe over the past two years.
70 St. Mary Axe, owned by global investment manager Nuveen, is an iconic building in London’s skyline with its distinctive, semi-elliptical form, offering modern and elegant offices in the City of London across 21 floors above ground.
Apleona CTS won the M&E contract in 2022 and immediately identified opportunities whereby energy-saving measures could be introduced.
Such initiatives include (but are not limited to): installing and testing timeclocks, reducing valve exercising, introducing new BMS software, upgrading AHU inverters, eliminating out-of-hours running of heating and LTHW and the installation of CO2 sensors.
The total asset savings since 2022 equate to approximate £220,000 across electrical and £88,000 across gas. This is equivalent to driving a car 2,489,919 miles, or the yearly usage of 393 homes.
Area Manger, Ian Croxford, comments: ‘It’s been a really superb effort from the team to be able to reduce energy usage by 26%, which in turn has saved the client significant costs. We are grateful for such a supportive client. We look forward to continuing to build this partnership and further improve energy usage at 70 St. Mary Axe. Special thanks to Site Supervisor Gary MacMillan and Lead Engineer Elliott Cunningham.’
The client Victoria Melbourne Webb adds: ‘The Apleona CTS team's enthusiasm and commitment to energy-saving initiatives, and their proactive approach to identifying new methods to further reduce energy consumption should be commended. Not only have they delivered fantastic results for the building, but it has been a pleasure to build this strong partnership with them.’
