Net Zero & Energy Strategy
Reduce running costs, cut carbon, and future-proof the estate.
Energy performance and carbon compliance now sit at the centre of local government asset decisions. Rising utility costs, tightening EPC requirements and the long-term implications of net zero targets mean that councils must understand not only how buildings perform today, but what liabilities they may create in the near future.
LGPC helps councils take a strategic, financially grounded approach to energy and carbon. We audit the corporate estate for energy efficiency, EPC and compliance risk; identify no- and low-cost savings; and set out clear retrofit and renewable options supported by realistic business cases and funding pathways.
Energy, carbon and lifecycle performance are built directly into our retain/repurpose/dispose recommendations, ensuring the estate remains affordable, compliant and aligned with climate targets. We also ensure disposal strategies reflect ESG expectations, managing reputational and financial risk.
The outcome is a practical, phased plan that reduces running costs today while preparing the estate for the regulatory and environmental realities of tomorrow.
