Sustainability

Turn energy and carbon evidence into practical improvement

Virium helps organisations understand how their energy is used, establish a credible carbon position and convert the findings into technically sound, commercially workable reduction plans and projects.

Sustainability services

Select a service to view the scope and typical output

01 · Energy evidence

Energy Metering & Monitoring

We establish where, when and why energy is being used so decisions are based on measured performance rather than utility bills and assumptions.

Typical support
  • Metering strategy and gap assessment
  • Electricity, gas and heat data review
  • Sub-metering requirements
  • Baselines, profiles and exception reporting
Typical output: A practical metering and monitoring plan, supported by a clear performance baseline identifying data gaps, abnormal consumption and priorities for action.
02 · Performance improvement

Energy Performance & Reduction Opportunities

We review how buildings, processes and utilities consume energy to identify reductions that are technically deliverable and commercially worthwhile.

Typical support
  • Consumption and baseload analysis
  • Plant, process and building review
  • Savings and cost assessment
  • Prioritised opportunity register
Typical output: A prioritised opportunity register showing estimated energy, carbon and cost savings, indicative investment, constraints and the next action required.
03 · Carbon baseline

Scope 1, 2 & 3 Assessment

We define the reporting boundary, assemble credible activity data and calculate emissions so the organisation understands where its material carbon impacts sit.

Typical support
  • Organisational and reporting boundaries
  • Scope 1 and 2 inventory
  • Material Scope 3 screening
  • Data quality, factors and assumptions
Typical output: A documented greenhouse gas inventory setting out sources, assumptions, exclusions and data gaps, ready for management review.
04 · Management reporting

Carbon Reporting & Decision Support

We turn carbon data into a clear management view that explains performance, material changes and the decisions needed to make progress.

Typical support
  • Performance indicators and reporting structure
  • Year-on-year comparison and normalisation
  • Evidence trail and data controls
  • Management and client reporting
Typical output: A concise reporting pack and repeatable method that management can use with confidence and update in future reporting periods.
05 · Building performance

EPC & BREEAM Support

We coordinate the energy information, technical inputs and evidence needed to support EPC assessments and BREEAM requirements, working with appropriately accredited assessors where formal certification is required.

Typical support
  • Building and system information collation
  • Energy evidence and design review
  • Improvement recommendations
  • Assessor and project team coordination
Typical output: A complete, traceable evidence pack and action schedule for the appointed assessor or project team.
06 · Delivery roadmap

Decarbonisation Planning

We combine energy, carbon, cost and operational constraints into a staged plan that can move from ambition into funded and deliverable projects.

Typical support
  • Reduction targets and scenarios
  • Efficiency, electrification and heat recovery
  • On-site generation and low-carbon options
  • Capital, programme and dependencies
Typical output: A prioritised short-, medium- and long-term roadmap showing estimated benefits, capital requirements, dependencies and the next steps for delivery.
