Sustainability is no longer just a trend; it’s a necessity for businesses and homeowners alike. At ARC Facilities, we believe that every building has the potential to be energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective. As a leader in building maintenance and energy management, we’re committed to helping our clients reduce their carbon footprint while saving money.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

 

Energy-Efficient HVAC Systems

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems play a significant role in a building’s energy consumption.

At ARC Facilities, we specialize in servicing and maintaining systems like:

 

 

 

• • Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR): These systems recover up to 90% of heat from extracted air, significantly reducing energy waste.

 

• • Fan Coil Units (FCUs): Efficiently control localized temperatures, ensuring optimal energy use.

 

• • Air Handling Units (AHUs): Centralized systems that improve air quality and regulate temperature efficiently.

 

Sustainability Impact: Properly maintained HVAC systems not only lower energy bills but also ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

 

Retrofit Services

Retrofitting is one of the most effective ways to improve a building’s energy efficiency. As Trustmark-accredited Retrofit Assessors and Coordinators, we:

 

• • Conduct detailed energy assessments to identify areas for improvement.

 

• • Recommend and implement energy-saving measures, such as improved insulation and upgraded systems.

 

• • Help clients access government incentives for energy-efficient upgrades.

 

 

Sustainability Impact: Retrofitting reduces energy consumption, lowers emissions, and increases property value.

 

 

Energy Compliance and Certifications

 

Navigating energy regulations can be challenging, but we make it simple for our clients. Our services include:

 

• • Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs): Assess your building’s energy efficiency and compliance with UK regulations.

 

 

• • Domestic Energy Assessments (DEA): Evaluate energy use in residential properties and recommend improvements.

 

 

• • Heat Loss Assessments: Identify areas of heat loss and suggest strategies to enhance insulation.

 

 

Sustainability Impact: Compliance with energy regulations not only avoids penalties but also demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility.

 

Tips for a Sustainable Property

 

 

• Schedule Regular Maintenance: Ensure HVAC systems are serviced annually to maintain peak efficiency.

 

 

• Upgrade Insulation: Proper insulation reduces heat loss, saving energy and money.

 

 

• Switch to Energy-Efficient Lighting: LED bulbs use significantly less energy and last longer than traditional options.

 

 

• Conduct Energy Audits: Identify inefficiencies and make informed decisions about upgrades.

 

 

 A Sustainable Success Story

 

One of our clients, a commercial property in Essex, was struggling with high energy bills and inconsistent heating. After conducting a comprehensive energy audit, our team:

 

 

 

 

• Upgraded their MVHR system to recover more heat.

 

• Retrofitted the building with improved insulation.

 

• Provided an EPC rating that highlighted their improved energy efficiency.

 

The result? A 30% reduction in energy costs and a significant improvement in tenant satisfaction.
