Top 3 Methods to a Greener Asset

Implement Green Practices

It is paramount to adopt a good green practices on your journey to a greener building. These practices may  include banning single-use non-biodegradable products, such as plastic coffee cups, straws, and bags. Although these items are not directly involved with the construction process, they might be truly discouraging for visitors and employees in the asset / facility from following sustainable practices. Remember, represent for change and the advantage of being the leading asset manager achieving sustainability is a significant leverage for future cutting edge developments.  

The other ways to implement practices include creating awareness of water wastage through signage and smart technology, using automated time controllers to maintain and monitor efficiency, and switching facility building services for more effective energy efficient outcomes. Pembury group offer good awareness monitoring and always use sustainable building approaches when advising clients, however everyone can do their portion by understanding our three best hints when looking at your everyday asset management. 

Select Environmentally Responsible Materials

The materials used during building, construction or facility maintenance can contribute significantly to the asset environmental impacts. Consider before using products that meet the  GBCA - Recognised product certification schemes and standards. 

Using biodegradable products and supplies for cleaning is another great way to maintain indoor air quality and reduce water pollution.

Prioritize Preventive Maintenance

If a piece of equipment hasn’t been inspected, lubricated, or replaced in a long time, it might be working extra hard to continue running, leading to higher energy consumption. This is he reason regular maintenance is essential – not just to ensure the functionality of your equipment is operational but to avoid increased energy consumption and utility billing.

Other assets that consume more energy when lacking condition are plumbing and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. If you don’t frequently maintain these essential systems, they will produce more waste and higher repair costs. 

Invest into Energy-Efficient Tools

A significant amount of the energy used by a facility is through its appliances and associated major plant. You can lower the overall energy consumption of your facility by using energy-efficient alternatives. The usage of IBP integrated building platforms can hold large upfront capex expenditure, however the advantages of monitoring equipment can identify low performing equipment and identify new savings to your overall utility expenditure!! 

Whether you’re taking on a new project or making changes to an existing one, there are many steps you can take to keep your facility green. Learn more about Pembury group providing sustainable practices and to engage Pembury group for assisting with your greener asset future.
