Net Zero Investment Benchmarking and Planning

Planning effective investments for Net Zero can be a complex task, but ARK Consultancy can simplify the process and help you to achieve maximum value for money. Our investment planning services combine intelligent data analysis with expertly coordinated Retrofit and EPC renewal programmes to help you meet your Net Zero targets efficiently.

We understand that every organisation’s Net Zero Investment will be different. That’s why we take a tailored approach, helping you prioritise investments that align with your strategic goals while ensuring compliance with industry standards. By leveraging our expertise and innovative tools like the ASAP model, we can optimise your investment strategy and maximise the impact of your decarbonisation efforts.

Let ARK help you take the next step toward a sustainable future with clear, actionable, and cost-effective Net Zero investment plans.

We benchmark a wide range of costs associated with achieving Net Zero, enabling organisations to plan budgets and allocate resources effectively. Some of the key areas we focus on include:

  • Air Source Heat Pumps and Installation: These systems are a vital part of the transition away from fossil fuel heating. We assess not only the upfront costs of purchasing air source heat pumps but also the installation costs and potential long-term savings on energy bills.
  • Internal and External Wall Insulation: Insulating homes is one of the most effective ways to improve energy efficiency. We analyse the costs of both internal and external wall insulation, helping you choose the best approach for your housing stock while considering factors like building type and resident needs.
  • Solar Installations: Renewable energy sources like solar panels play a key role in reducing carbon emissions. We benchmark the costs of solar panel systems, including installation and maintenance, and evaluate the return on investment in terms of energy savings and carbon reduction.
  • Other Energy Efficiency Measures: This includes measures such as loft insulation, double glazing, and smart heating systems, all of which contribute to lowering energy usage and carbon emissions.

Our Net Zero strategies go beyond just cost benchmarking. We work closely with you to develop tailored investment plans that align with your organisation’s priorities and goals. This includes:

  • Identifying the most impactful measures for decarbonisation.
  • Prioritising projects based on budget, timelines, and resident needs.
  • Ensuring compliance with government regulations and funding requirements.
  • Maximising available funding opportunities, such as grants and subsidies.

Our expertise and innovative tools like the ASAP model optimise your investment strategy, helping you achieve your Net Zero targets while delivering value for money. Let ARK help you take the next step toward a sustainable future with clear, actionable, and cost-effective Net Zero investment plans.
