Galliford Try Total Energy Management Service

Project

Galliford Try manage the facilities for two private finance initiative secondary schools. In a time of rising energy costs, the schools were keen to reduce running costs and carbon emissions and to engage building users. Anthesis supported Galliford Try with the application of a total energy management service for the schools to manage utilities, provide cost reductions and ongoing support, investment and advice.

Services

• Anthesis undertook an audit of the two schools and reviewed the electricity, gas and water usage
• Tailored a Carbon Management Action Plan (CMAP) for each school, outlining key carbon and water-saving actions
• Monitoring equipment was installed to collect detailed energy data and allow for both analysis of consumption and the monthly reporting of savings
• Anthesis took over the Building Management System (BMS) service contract, with Boss Controls providing continuity on site

Key Project Outputs

• Anthesis installed insulation in the boiler rooms, optimised the BMS and worked with Boss Controls to upgrade equipment and identify further improvements
• Installed urinal control equipment, installed voltage optimisation and reviewed catering, ICT and small power equipment
• Anthesis created a behaviour change programme and increased the visibility of energy consumption in the schools
• Anthesis achieved large reductions in utility costs, compared to baseline

Impacts

• Optimised BMS system
• 39,591,137 litres water saved (40% reduction)
• 20% electricity and 35% gas saved
• 1,890 tonnes of CO2e saved
