Milton Keynes, England, United Kingdom, September 20, 2013 -- Carillion Energy S ervices is a recognised leader in transformational outsourcing, delivering servi ces that make a lasting and sustainable difference to the lives of customers. It is one of the largest national suppliers of heating and renewable energy and is at the forefront of the carbon economy. In the governments 2013 CRC league tables, Carillion PLC is ranked seventh in the country from thousands of companies thanks to the energy management programme d elivered by Carillion Energy Service. The company, along with IMServ, a leading provider of business-focused advanced metering solutions, was instrumental in he lping Carillion PLC meet its environmental targets and reduce energy consumption . Carillion PLC provides integrated support services and has a substantial portfol io of Public Private Partnership projects. It has over 200 locations across the UK employing over one thousand employees. One of the major challenges of becomin g more energy efficient was the companys diverse mix of offices; from older build ings such as the head office in Wolverhampton, to more modern buildings in Manch ester and Oxford. Each building presented different energy saving challenges. In addition, as the company had grown year on year, so too had its energy spends . Coupled with increasing energy prices, Carillion knew it had to start tracking and reducing its energy consumption and streamline the companys gas and electric usage to drive down costs and reduce its carbon footprint. Dru Patel, Head of Carillion Energy Bureau at Carillion Energy Services explains , Carillion positions itself as a leading sustainable business and a leading sust ainable support service company. As the company grew and began operating in more competitive markets, Carillions management knew that its leadership in sustainab ility was a key area of differentiation and would make the company stand out fro m its competitors. Taking a more aggressive stance to its own energy use was a k ey element which was driven not only by CRC but also our desire to reduce our ow n energy consumption, both from a green point of view but also from a cost consi deration. Aside from issues with older inefficient buildings, Carillion was also faced wit h the need to implement behavioural changes amongst staff who were not always co nscientious about being energy efficient. Dru explains, Staff would open windows when the heat was on, or turn on the air c onditioning rather than opening a window, or would leave equipment computers, mo nitors, printers on at night and over the weekend. This was happening on a regu lar basis. It became apparent that we could only make changes if we gained a better understa nding about our energy usage and look at ways of addressing the way we used ener gy. Metering Insight: In order to understand where its parent company was using the most energy, at wh at time in the day and in which location, Carillion Energy Services introduced a

metering and data service, along with Sub Metering across the companys gas and e lectric portfolio. The company turned to Automated Meter Readings (AMR) to allow it to track accura te energy data, using IMServ, the UKs largest independent energy management provi der and supplier of business-focused advanced metering solutions. IMServ works closely with many FTSE 250 organisations and companies within the c ommercial and industrial sectors, advising on effective energy management soluti ons. The company offers a range of monitoring, visualisation and control service s that allow businesses to gain greater insight into their water and electricity usage. Dru explains how AMR has impacted the business, Advanced meters offer many benefi ts, from the easy integration of energy selling between Carillion and the power company, to greater flexibility on tariffs. AMR gives us improved forecasting, g iving accurate estimations of future energy demands. It also makes managing our finances considerably easier. Using AMR has enabled us to have complete energy usage visibility and comprehensi ve information on our carbon footprint. We could see what energy Carillion was u sing across its portfolio rather than just holistically; we could identify which buildings were the worst offenders and which buildings were actually very energ y efficient. Reducing consumption: It has enabled us to drill down on our electric and gas consumption, producing de tailed analysis and usage graphs on a daily basis. It has also helped us identif y the companys worst performing buildings. Armed with this information, it then made it easier to look at usage and trends i n behaviour. We introduced a pilot behavioural change programme to drive down c onsumption which has been very successful. Carillion employees really got behind the pilot and have proactively been involved from the beginning to help the com pany reduce energy consumption. As a result of introducing AMR and the pilot behavioural change programme, Carill ion has made critical reductions to its energy usage. Because we were bought on to tackle energy efficiency in 2005, early action metri cs could be implemented and we followed a strict timeline of introducing AMR acr oss our portfolio. It was this early action that helped us achieve a top ten pos ition in the CRC league tables. Dru continued, The relationship with IMServ has developed over the years to form a very strong and mutually beneficial partnership. IMServs team has a great abili ty to respond to requests quickly, often accommodating our needs within hours; i t is this timeliness and its ability to go above and beyond time and time again that makes the relationship so successful.
