How to Cut Building Energy Costs Without Replacing Your Plant

Thursday 16th October 13:35 - 14:10

Energy Management Theatre

Most buildings today, no matter how smart or well-rated, still waste energy every day. That waste is rarely due to faulty equipment. It’s because of service setups that are technically “working,” but operationally underperforming.

In this session, Chartered Engineer Hashil Ramjee brings clarity and experience to this performance gap. Drawing on years spent inside real commercial buildings, on both the engineering and facilities side, he reveals where energy inefficiencies are hiding in plain sight. From legacy BMS overrides to under-tuned fan coils and overlooked FM handovers, the causes are often simple but systemic.

This session focuses on getting the best from your existing systems, maximising performance, efficiency, and results with the assets you already have in place.

Hashil shares a proven, low-cost optimisation framework that helps you:
- Identify energy waste hiding in your systems
- Optimise building controls without major kit upgrades
- Tune existing services for peak efficiency post-occupancy
- Link operational adjustments to business case outcomes (compliance, comfort, cost)
- Build a 90-day roadmap that’s practical, not capital-intensive

If you manage energy, facilities, or performance in commercial property, this session will equip you with fresh, actionable ideas. Come away with confidence to challenge assumptions, build smarter FM partnerships, and improve your building’s performance, quickly, credibly, and without disruption.
