Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC): Understanding Its Impact & How to Prepare

You are here: 

The Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) comes into force next April, requiring evidence packs, early actions and growth metrics. A shortfall of performance could add £100,000 to costs (energy not saved) plus, in the first year, the required two year additional cost of £24 per CO2 tonne for the additional emissions carbon permits. That is a massive impact on cash flow and overheads compared to a competitor managing energy usage effectively.

To achieve the demands of new legislation and active contribute in the overall reduction of carbon footprint, it is essential that you set hard targets for all energy-consuming and carbon generating activities by undertaking an energy health check to identify those areas where there is most gain.  Syntegra Consulting can provide this essential knowledge, which extends well beyond Buildings Services and Energy Consultancy.

For commercial buildings, it's relevant because these structures are significant contributors to carbon footprints, making them a key focus for environmental compliance and sustainability efforts.

2 How do carbon reduction commitments impact the operation and management of commercial properties?

Carbon reduction commitments often necessitate changes in how commercial properties are operated and managed. This typically involves monitoring energy consumption, implementing energy-efficient upgrades, and developing strategies to lower overall carbon emissions to meet regulatory requirements and achieve sustainability goals.

3 What types of services can help commercial buildings achieve their carbon reduction targets?

To achieve carbon reduction targets, commercial buildings can utilize various consulting and assessment services. These include energy strategy reports, net zero carbon consultancy, whole life cycle carbon assessments, and sustainability certifications like BREEAM or CIBSE TM65, all aimed at identifying and implementing emission-reducing solutions.
