PORTFOLIO DECARBONISATION STRATEGY
For the real estate department of a major French financial institution, Groupe Caisse des Dépôts, we are providing a decarbonisation and compliance strategy for its operated commercial portfolio. Led in consortium with Mott MacDonald and N'CO Conseil, our mission provides a comprehensive approach in 3 steps: a diagnosis of the portfolio considering the carbon scopes, a prospective low carbon strategy with a 2050 pathway from the real estate masterplan with actions based on referenced procedures (CRREM, SNBC), and a reporting methodology and tool to follow relevant KPIs and measure the energy and carbon impact of the different workable levers.
UNIQUE 2-DAY COMPETITION DURING COP26
The Climathon Sprint is a unique 2-day competition held during COP26, bringing together architects/planners, engineers and innovative solution providers (students or young professionals), to create a Net Zero design concept for a regeneration site, with a focus on providing a strong added value to the local community and the environment.
Competing teams will showcase their best design and technology concept to a jury of expert technologists, experienced architects and planners and senior innovators from across industries and universities, to win the Climathon Sprint Award.
Climathon Sprint: 3rd-5th of November 2021
TERRITORIAL PRE-DIAGNOSIS
For a joint association, SMOYS (Syndicat Mixte Orge-Yvette-Seine) in France with a new extended perimeter, we provided a territorial pre-diagnosis on a scope of 65 local authorities, allowing to define carbon neutral guidelines, prior to the definition of a 2050 strategy. We delivered cartographies on multiple layers of stakes, such as energy (solar potential, energy efficiency, decarbonisation of heat etc.), mobility (rollout of electric vehicle charging infrastructure etc.), environment (nature capital and carbon sinks), quality of life, attractivity, and local community engagement.
SUPPORTING LOCAL CARBON NEUTRAL STRATEGY
In January 2017, the UK Government announced that it would contribute funding towards the new Oxfordshire Salt Cross Garden Village alongside 13 other garden villages and 3 garden towns. Garden villages serve a sustainable, cultural, social, economic vision with a strong sense of community. A development partner – Grosvenor Developments Ltd - was appointed on behalf of the landowners to undertake planning activities.
Working for the Oxfordshire County Council, Urbanomy will deliver expert advice on the future plans for Salt Cross Garden Village for energy and mobility-related decisions with a Net Zero purpose (+2200 residential homes, a new science business park, a primary school to accommodate over 1000 pupils, a health centre/small hospital and a neighbouring park and ride development).
“Achieving net zero carbon is integral to the Council’s vision for a thriving county. Urbanomy will join us to create a new model that will enable a net zero carbon energy system for Salt Cross, one which benefits the new residents and those already living nearby.”
Llewelyn Morgan, Oxfordshire County Council
DIN SPEC : DISTRICT MANAGEMENT
Urbanomy, in partnership with EIFER, contributes to a German standardisation text (DIN SPEC), which provides a framework for the management of the districts of the future. This work supervised by DIN, the German Institute for Standardisation, is being carried out with a consortium of more than twenty various partners, mainly German.
> This text will provide a frame of reference and specifications for all players in charge of developing new districts or regeneration projects, such as property developers and local authorities.
> Through this project, Urbanomy wishes to enable a smart and sustainable management of districts. This is an example of how we can make an impact in Germany to push for a more integrated vision of all key urban aspects (energy, mobility, green spaces, etc.)
