Hidden Knowledge
The power of knowing
Planning a decarbonisation pathway is only one aspect of establishing and delivering long-term strategies for university estates in an ever-changing landscape which can be challenging to map.
The key to success is to find tangible, valuable and reliable insights through data collected throughout the life cycles of services, projects and assets.
With the exponential growth of digital technologies, you can now gather, manage, and use vast data sets, not only to meet your immediate needs, but also to support your long term ambitions.
Optimise
Built assets on your campus can be transformed into smart, optimised and sustainable spaces.
By gathering and interrogating asset data, you can use this insight to manage planned maintenance, asset life cycles, technical due diligence and statutory compliance to optimise expenditure and performance.
Our expertise in business analysis and consultancy, digital procurement and solutions development can help you accomplish this. Our asset optimisation specialists can guide you in how to use data to manage, improve and enhance your estate, so that overall costs can be reduced, and efficiencies can be maximised.
Decarbonise
There is growing demand for energy improvement measures and decarbonisation solutions, regardless of the size of the estate or individual asset.
By capturing and harnessing asset performance data, we can make smarter, more strategic decisions on decarbonisation and plot a route to net zero.
Our team of sustainability specialists can advise on how data can help you reduce overall estate costs, maximise efficiencies and achieve your organisational goals. Using sustainability-oriented data surveys, we can evaluate baseline energy consumption and efficiency of building fabric and services to develop your decarbonisation roadmap.
Manage
The need to know everything at the same time is not universal, but information overload is a problem for many.
By understanding how and when information and data will be exchanged, you can ensure the right people are engaged at the right time. Crucially, you will also trust your data, so you can make informed decisions.
Our digital specialists can guide you towards innovative, cost-effective digital solutions that deliver the most value. Using powerful data analytics software, we can provide you with customised dashboards and live reports. Using our in-house cost management tools, you will understand your options and be able to make informed decisions about built assets and estates.
Data-driven support
Universities are increasingly using data to plan for the future. We are at the forefront in guiding our clients towards innovative, cost-effective solutions.
Using powerful data analytics software, we can provide customised dashboards and live reports. Combined with our in-house cost management tools, we can help our clients to understand their options and make informed decisions about their built assets.
Queen's University Belfast
We are capturing data to help Queen's University Belfast better understand its estate - no mean feat with over 250 buildings.
By delivering asset management surveys across the estate, and using our data capture and reporting software, we have created an online performance dashboard that highlights elements such as building condition, defects, energy efficiency and budget costs over a designated timeframe. Queen's University Belfast can use this insight to develop a strategic long term optimisation and asset management plan.
Royal Holloway, University of London
We are harnessing data to help Royal Holloway's estates team find a more proactive way to prioritise projects.
Using a bespoke platform, we have developed a programme and reporting solution that can manage multiple projects and workstreams delivered on a rolling basis. This digital PMO system enables the estates team to view and interrogate holistic data, so they are able to forecast, prioritise and plan delivery timescales to better manage projects.
