HENOC sector focus
Financial & Professional Services
Office estates where reporting quality matters as much as unit rate.
Banks, insurers, law firms and consultancies typically run a smaller physical load than industrial clients, but face far greater scrutiny of how that energy is sourced and reported. Procurement here is as much about verifiable renewable supply, Scope 2 reporting and landlord data as it is about price. We handle both sides, and we are careful to distinguish a genuine claim from a marketing one.
Typical supply
HH electricity in headquarters buildings, landlord-supplied space in multi-let offices, modest gas
Load shape
Weekday office hours, HVAC-led, reduced weekend demand, comms rooms running continuously
Main cost drivers
HVAC and lighting, comms-room load, green-tariff premiums, landlord service charges
What makes financial & professional services different
Landlord-supplied space
Where energy comes through a service charge, you cannot procure it directly. Getting usable data — and challenging the recharge — becomes the lever.
Green claims must survive audit
REGO-backed supply, matched certificates and PPAs offer very different levels of substantiation. The differences matter under SECR and CSRD-style reporting.
Scope 2 reporting
Location-based and market-based figures are calculated differently and need consistent, auditable consumption data.
Hybrid working
Occupancy has fallen while building base load frequently has not, so HVAC schedules often no longer match actual use.
How we work with financial & professional services clients
Reporting-grade data
Consumption and emissions data supplied in the format SECR and investor reporting require.
Honest green options
We set out what each renewable option actually evidences, and price the premium so the decision is informed.
Service-charge review
Landlord energy recharges reviewed against supply invoices and sub-meter reads where available.
Occupancy-aware scheduling notes
Where HH data shows plant running against a half-empty building, we say so.
Common things we find
- Green tariff premiums paid for claims that do not survive audit
- Service-charge energy lines accepted without reconciliation
- HVAC schedules unchanged since pre-hybrid occupancy
Findings vary by client and site. Nothing here is a guarantee of saving — we quote against your own bills, and where we quote savings our clients average around 15%.
