Map your route to a Fossil Free, Zero-Carbon Campus

Digital Twins for Net-Zero Universities

According to the IPCC, the global building stock needs 80% to 90% lower emissions in 2050 to achieve a pathway consistent with a 1.5°C target. The digitalization of buildings enables optimisation based on both the needs and comfort of users and what delivers the highest environmental impact. Our ICL Technology helps universities to plan, implement and manage current and future operational performance. Reducing carbon emissions, energy costs, and hitting sustainability commitments.

Mitigate Rising Energy Costs

With energy prices rising exponentially, universities need to ensure every penny counts. Our technology can help your budgets stretch further, helping you hone in on areas of energy waste, improve energy efficiency across your campus and make wiser investments across retrofits and new build projects.

  • Identify operational inefficiencies and target energy waste
  • Save 20 - 70% on energy costs
  • Balance net-zero targets against budgets
  • Ensure money is spent where it will have greatest impact
  • Identify opportunities to share heat, cooling and power and save money

Net-Zero Road Mapping for Universities

An effective net-zero strategy requires evidence-backed decisions and data you can trust. Our digital twins use the best of building physics, data, machine learning and AI to help you assess different decarbonisation options, plan your investment strategies and track progress towards zero-carbon.

  • Map your route to a net-zero campus
  • Simulate proposed action plans to identify & target potential shortfalls
  • Single pane view across all building data
  • Test different scenarios for proposed change of use within buildings and post COVID occupancy 
  • Make informed Retrofit / Renovation / Rebuild decisions
  • Ensure projects deliver by tracking progress in real time
