Planning for a greener future: Ento launches decarbonisation strategy solution, "Ento Strategy"

A strategic approach to building decarbonisation

With the global push towards sustainability, building owners are under increasing pressure to decarbonise their assets by a set date. Examples are Net Zero 2030 in the UK or the EU’s Energy Efficiency Directive. But even without laws and regulations as a driver, many building owners are striving to lower their emissions for reasons like corporate social responsibility or cutting costs.

Ento Strategy is here to simplify this complex process by providing a clear, executive-level overview of what needs to be done, in what order, and with what budget, to achieve decarbonisation goals.

"Ento Strategy aims to simplify the lives of energy managers and executives responsible for decarbonisation planning. By providing real-time data and insights, it enables users to rapidly test different strategies and select the most effective one. The tool's ability to handle various assumptions and generate quick proposals within seconds ensures that planning is both dynamic and accurate."

A bespoke strategy for every building portfolio

Every building portfolio is unique, and the most effective energy optimisation and decarbonisation strategy depends on its specific characteristics. Whether it involves energy efficiency projects, installing solar panels, implementing automatic HVAC control, or transitioning to heat pumps – Ento Strategy helps identify the best approach for every single building.

Our tool guides users through selecting potential initiatives and simulates their impact on energy savings and budget requirements.

Key features of Ento Strategy

  • Initiative selection and simulation: Ento Strategy allows users to explore various decarbonisation initiatives, such as rooftop solar installations, boiler replacements, and lighting retrofits. The tool then simulates the expected savings and costs, helping users make informed decisions.
  • Customisable assumptions: Given the uncertainties in grid intensity, electricity prices, and future installation costs, Ento Strategy lets users input their assumptions to tailor the strategy to their specific context.
  • Emissions forecasting: The tool provides detailed emissions forecasts, showing how emissions will evolve from the selected baseline year. This helps users track progress and adjust strategies as needed.
  • Budget allocation and reinvestment: Ento Strategy outlines the necessary investment for each initiative and allows users to allocate budgets accordingly. Additionally, it supports reinvesting savings annually to maximise impact over time.
  • Compliance with regulations: Regulatory compliance calculations ensure that strategies not only meet decarbonisation goals but also adhere to relevant laws. As more directives and regulations come into effect, they will be added to our library, making it possible to check compliance with just a few clicks.

Who is Ento Strategy intended for?

Municipalities, large corporations, and property management companies can all benefit from Ento Strategy. Energy managers and their teams will find the tool particularly useful for proposing budgets and allocating resources efficiently.

"Balancing the sustainability goals of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive and our local CO2 emission goals have proved challenging to achieve simultaneously, and to develop a plan that optimally addresses all goals. Ento Strategy shows great potential to simplify this complexity, providing us with a robust tool that allows us to create a comprehensive plan that can be easily adjusted if things change. Its ability to handle various assumptions and generate quick proposals is invaluable, ensuring we can meet our decarbonisation targets efficiently and effectively."
