Portsmouth City Council
Client objective
Delivering energy improvements across Portsmouth.
Following a tender exercise, AgilityEco was selected by Portsmouth City Council to advise them on a range of energy issues, ranging from stock assessment, identification of ECO funding opportunities across their stock and planned maintenance schedules, appointment of contractors and the delivery of energy efficiency improvements, managing the end-to-end supply chain and associated compliance.
Our approach
We combined our technical and commercial know-how to deliver innovative, cost effective energy saving projects for Portsmouth City Council, providing a full end-to-end service from initial consultation and advice, right through to surveying, solution design, funding, delivery and compliance.
Our approach to each of these steps was methodical and rigorous, enabling Portsmouth City Council to maximise the energy reduction improvements they could deliver.
AgilityEco project managed the whole programme, which involved:
- a comprehensive stock data analysis that enabled us to select appropriate properties
- detailed property assessments of over 3,000 properties across Portsmouth to identify carbon / energy saving potential and determine required budget
- detailed analysis of two tower blocks to assess options for thermal improvement, ECO/Green Deal funding and the impact on energy bills for both residents and Portsmouth CC, with a key objective of tackling fuel poverty
- assessment of funding options and securing ECO funding to cover over 90% of the budget
- supply chain procurement and tendering process
- project oversight with full ECO compliance, quality and technical monitoring.

Our solution
The strategy devised for Portsmouth City Council is worth in the region of £2.3m consisting of the following:
• Specification of full retrofit works to improve the energy efficiency of two priority high-rise buildings, whilst improving durability and maintenance costs
• Identification of other opportunities for Portsmouth City Council to optimise ECO funding across their housing stock such as hard-to-treat cavity wall properties and the installation of “secondary” energy efficiency measures
• An accurate forecast of the ECO carbon credits available from providing energy efficiency measures to these properties as well as indicative costings
• A feasible, transparent project which provided best value to Portsmouth City Council.
