Cost management services ensured optimal investment in decarbonisation, supporting the university’s £150m goal to achieve Net Zero. We delivered value-for-money solutions and enhanced the overall environmental impact.

Maximising value for decarbonisation initiatives.

A greater environmental impact is achieved through our cost management services, which allow this programme’s funds to be allocated efficiently.

We play a crucial role in the university’s Net Zero Carbon Programme by developing a bespoke reporting system to track cost-effectiveness and carbon savings.

This system, which calculates £ per carbon saved, enabled the university to make informed decisions across various decarbonisation projects, including fabric improvements and infrastructure upgrades.

By delivering value-for-money solutions, EDGE continues to support the university’s £150m investment strategy.

Supporting net zero ambitions with effective cost management for strategic infrastructure assessments and upgrades.

Identifying necessary infrastructure upgrades has led to more efficient electric heating and cooling systems.

This was achieved by EDGE through undertaking detailed assessments of existing heating arrangements at the university.

By managing costs effectively and providing clear recommendations on the best solutions, EDGE helped the university stay within budget while advancing their decarbonisation goals.

This strategic approach supports the university’s Net Zero target and enhances the campus environment.

Energy efficiency and sustainability benefits both students and staff.
