ABOUT US

Located in Brighton, East Sussex, Low Carbon Europe has grown over the past 15 years to become the preferred supplier of building engineering and sustainability services to a number of high profile public sector and blue chip commercial organisations. 

Our assignments to date have achieved energy reductions for clients ranging from 15% to 40%. In the past five years we have helped organisations save over £100 million in energy costs and developed sustainable, energy efficient plant and buildings.

 

We have learned through experience how to adopt a holistic approach to potential reduction of energy, water and other operational carbon costs which in turn reduce the running costs of your buildings and create a ‘Sustainable’ reputation with demonstrable “good corporate responsibility” for your organisation.

Our aim is a simple one of making our clients' businesses' perform better. We achieve this not simply through excellence in engineering, but also through ensuring we are aligned with our clients’ business and project objectives. We have particular sustainability expertise delivering Corporate Decarbonisation and Net Zero ambitions.

LCE was formed to provide an integrated approach to reducing clients’ energy consumption, carbon footprint and increasing sustainability. We offer advice and support to our clients in a wide range of industries looking to reduce energy costs, carbon emissions and develop energy strategies. We deliver this through a range of technical and practical services which have proven successful with our clients and showed many great benefits.

We realise that no two sites are the same and our experienced staff will assess the best carbon reduction strategy for your business and tailor a package to suit your exact needs. We also understand that not every business has the income to facilitate these projects.

Unlike many ‘new entrants’ to this sector we have many years of experience designing, commissioning and monitoring the electrical and mechanical systems that are responsible for energy consumption within buildings. This in depth understanding of building systems and plant infrastructure means that we are uniquely positioned to work with you to reduce your carbon footprint and overall energy consumption.

 

Building performance is not just about energy efficiency it also includes environmental sustainability and the wellbeing of the occupants within those buildings. Certainly, a company’s sustainability agenda is becoming more significant as investors and stakeholders lean towards companies that have sustainability credentials.

At LCE we like to practice what we preach and are committed to conducting our business operations in a socially responsible and environmentally sustainable manner. Click the link to view our full Carbon Reduction and Net Zero Plan.
