With ambitious sustainability goals to meet, we often hear from facilities managers looking for support to tackle their decarbonisation challenges. But whether it’s compliance, reducing running costs, or simply future-proofing your operations, it can sometimes be tricky to know where to start.
To help you prioritise the right things, JLA’s Helen Buchan is here with some practical steps and insights to help you hit your ESG targets and reduce energy costs for critical equipment across your estate. Watch Helen’s video below.
Future-proof your properties with low-carbon tech
Accelerating change with low-carbon technologies
For facilities managers, upgrading to more efficient equipment – particularly for heating, laundry and other critical operations – gives organisations a great opportunity to reduce carbon emissions.
As Helen explains in her video, this could mean switching out older boilers for air-source heat pumps. Or, if your buildings aren’t quite ready for more sustainable upgrades just yet, it could be that you look to replace older boilers with higher-efficiency, hydrogen-ready boilers that will reduce your carbon footprint now and over the longer term.
If you’re running laundry or catering facilities across your sites, you might also benefit from investment in appliances like JLA’s SMART electric dryers, which can be monitored through JLA Connect for real-time usage data and energy bill estimates, as well as estimated CO2 emissions. We also offer a range of versatile, Energy Star-rated commercial combi ovens, which reduce energy usage while improving cooking performance and convenience.
Plus, arranging a regular service and maintenance schedule for your estate means you’ll stay compliant while you move towards your sustainability goals.
