The 40% Problem: Why Your Buildings Are Wasting Energy 24/7 (And What To Do About It)
Across commercial real estate, as much as 40% of electricity is wasted, often completely invisible to sustainability teams.
This talk reveals where that waste comes from, why it persists despite net zero strategies and why traditional approaches—audits, dashboards and building management systems—struggle to address it and why it’s one of the fastest, cheapest decarbonisation opportunities available today.
We’ll break down real-world examples and show how organisations are identifying and eliminating always-on plug loads without major capex or disruption, so you can take immediate, practical steps to cut waste across your own estate.
