4. Key Market Opportunity
One of the key opportunities in the Building Energy Efficiency Market is the delivery of large-scale energy renovation programmes for existing commercial. A large proportion of commercial and public buildings in developed markets have not undergone comprehensive energy renovation despite energy performance certification requirements and commercially attractive payback periods for heat pump, lighting, and BMS upgrade investments. Energy service companies offering guaranteed energy savings contracts where the ESCO finances and installs efficiency measures using utility savings as repayment are addressing the capital and risk barriers faced by commercial building owners. Building efficiency product manufacturers and ESCO operators developing large-scale renovation delivery programmes with standardised technical packages and digital energy performance monitoring stand to capture a large and commercially underserved building renovation market.
