Project Details
Working directly for the Asset Owners CRIM (Catella), we were initially commissioned to undertake a feasibility study to determine the potential viability for a PV scheme given the large flat roof area available at the asset.
A full design & build service followed, with Vantage undertaking structural assessments of the asset, submitting planning applications and obtaining DNO (District Network Operator) approval* for the scheme on behalf of the client.
For the build, we provided Procurement, Project Management, Cost Management & Site Management services as part of our end-to-end delivery model.
The asset now boasts on-site renewable energy generation, powering 25% of the buildings total electrical load, significantly offsetting grid reliance and lifting the asset into a top tier category for energy performance.
We now turn our attention to the recertification process, where the asset will receive a significantly uplifted EPC rating – we’ll post a future update on the rating once received and lodged.
