Cost-led Energy Strategy for Housing Schemes
Right-size your energy strategy so the connection cost doesn't wipe out your project ROI
From basic site data, Hubb.Pro builds a costed energy strategy that shows if your scheme works, before you commit to expensive infrastructure
The Problem
Six ways energy, grid and MEP decisions put scheme viability at risk
- Connection and plant are still sized on old rules of thumb, not scheme demand.
- MEP, utilities, performance and cost teams all model the same scheme separately.
- By the time the piture joins up, you’ve already paid for most of the design work.
- Allowances are padded “to be safe” – especially with ASHPs – so capacity and plant are oversized.
- Different assumptions mean no one’s numbers match, so decisions drag.
- Value engineering states late, when the big capacity savings are already gone.
Get demand and capacity wrong and every decision that follows eats into your project ROI. HubbPro gives you one costed, viability-led energy strategy from basic site data.
The Solution
The Hubbpro Energy Scenario Strategy
When your demand and capacity assumptions are accurate, you cut connection-related capex and keep the scheme viable. That’s why we created the HubbPro Energy Scenario Strategy – a proven process that turns basic site data into a small set of costed options you can compare. Each scenario is designed to show the trade-off between capacity, capex and compliance, so you can choose the one that best protects your project ROI.
