Mantis were engaged to assess and improve the energy efficiency and net zero targets of a warehouse industrial facility. The goal was to reduce operational costs, enhance building performance, and align with corporate sustainability targets.

Challenges

  • Large warehouse facility with high heating demand.

  • Ageing building fabric with poor insulation levels and uncontrolled air leakage.

  • Existing M&E systems operating below optimum efficiency.

  • Need to maintain full operational capacity during investigation and improvement works.

Our Approach

Mantis carried out a comprehensive feasibility study and technical assessments, including:

  • Fabric upgrades to roofs and walls to improve insulation.

  • Air tightness testing to identify and reduce leakage points.

  • Energy use review including demand analysis and energy efficiency opportunities.

  • Mechanical & Electrical design studies to inform low-carbon technology options and system improvements.

Outcomes

  • Improved thermal performance of the warehouses through insulation and fabric upgrades.

  • Reduced uncontrolled heat loss via targeted air tightness improvements.

  • Detailed M&E design recommendations to guide future low-carbon investment.

  • A clear, data-driven feasibility study enabling Hilti to plan cost-effective decarbonisation works.

  • Enhanced operational efficiency, reducing both carbon emissions and long-term energy costs.
