Financial / Carbon Performance / Business case

In 2010 we identified client carbon savings of 383,189 tonnes CO2 from buildings. In energy savings this represents a £67m fiscal saving.

Most of our business cases for existing buildings energy strategies have an average return on investment of 37% or put simply payback in less than 3 years. Implementing low carbon strategies on new buildings with the most suitable renewables can have longer paybacks of 8 years and ROI of 12.5%. It is for this reason that we are passionate about energy efficiency in existing buildings.

Our 2010 Turnover was £450,000.pa

Thus for every client £1 spent on bssec we identify £149 of client energy saving. For every client £1 spent we save 1.17 tCO2.pa

We regularly achieve carbon reduction on new build projects at lower capital costs than others. On a recent project we saved our client £200,000 in capital costs when still complying with a 10% renewable energy requirement. Our service is truly low carbon in that we have a virtual office, use public transport and as such our carbon footprint is 80% lower than a traditional office based consultant with a commute. In 2010 Our carbon footprint was 6.34t CO2 for the business. For every client pound spent with us our carbon footprint is 14 grams CO2. Bssec was established in 2005.
