Turning public buildings into clean energy assets
Location: Hull
Sector: Public sector / Energy and decarbonisation
Scope: 12 public buildings (Phase 1)
Shard Stone's role: Cost consultancy
Rooftop solar PV across 12 public buildings, each with its own capital cost and potential return, within a business case shaped by energy savings, external funding and long-term value.
What Shard Stone Delivered
Across all 12 sites, Shard Stone’s cost consultancy gave the client a clear view of the investment each installation required as the programme progressed.
The Outcome
Phase 1 is expected to save around 220 tonnes of carbon and up to £180,000 a year in energy costs. £350,000 of external funding shortens the payback at three sites by up to five years.
When an investment is justified by its return, the cost is part of the case for it.
