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.
