Landsec has become the latest participant to sign up for the CUBE Competition, designed to improve energy efficiency
Landsec has entered three of its buildings into the CUBE competition, including One New Change, 80-100 Victoria Street and New Street Square.
The UK-wide competition aims to help landlords, building managers and occupiers improve energy efficiency in their commercial buildings through gamification and behavioural change.
Landsec’s participation follows the announcement of its £135m investment plan to help the group transition to net zero and achieve its 2030 target.
The nine-year strategy will reduce Landsec’s operational energy use and drive innovation and best practice across the wider industry.
Jennie Colville, head of ESG and sustainability at Landsec said: “Joining the CUBE competition is an important part of our commitment to reduce our carbon emissions.
“We’re keen to find new ways to drive forward change in the industry and support our customers, communities and stakeholders to transition to a low carbon world, which includes energy reduction in our commercial buildings.
“Through the CUBE competition, we hope to make energy management fun collaborating with our customers to take simple steps to reduce energy consumption.”
Reduce carbon emissions by 70% by 2030
Kristin Marin, who runs the competition in the UK, added: “We’re excited to welcome Landsec to the competition.
“With its significant targets to reduce carbon emissions by 70% by 2030, they’re serious about driving the property sector forward to respond to the climate crisis.
“Signing up three of its commercial buildings will show the significant gains that can be made via occupier and landlord collaboration and change in behaviour.”
The competition begins in March and all participants will be ranked monthly to decide which building has registered the largest energy reduction in percentage terms, measured against their own historic baseline of energy usage.
