The Big Energy Race | Workspace ®

the results are in

Thanks to every Workspace building that went the extra mile by switching off, unplugging, turning down and generally being more energy aware. You can congratulate yourselves on doing your bit to curb the energy wasted by London’s office buildings.

So many of our customers played a part in reducing your energy usage in November and the stats speak for themselves. Together we:

Hosted 3 Carbon Crunch Workshops
Made 1951 pledges to reduce energy
Saved a whopping 255,742 kWh compared to November 2023, across our Workspace buildings. That's the equivalent energy it would take to...

the winners

Drumroll, please!

The four buildings that smashed their energy-saving targets and have earned themselves a truly green reward are:

The Shepherds Building, in Shepherds Bush
The Chocolate Factory, in Wood Green
Salisbury House, in Moorgate
Kennington Park in Oval

The Reward? A total of 200 native trees will be planted across the UK, helping to cut carbon emissions while supporting UK veterans through Carma’s partnerships*. Each tree will absorb around 0.7 tonnes of carbon over its lifetime - adding up to an impressive 140 tonnes of emissions offset.

WHAT IS WORKSPACE DOING TO HELP?

We’re fully committed to sustainability within Workspace, and we’ve nailed our colours to the mast with a pledge to reach net zero.

The Big Energy Race is a part of this, but we’re doing so much more, such as upgrading to energy-efficient windows, installing solar panels and switching to movement-sensor lighting.

Throughout November we're encouraging all Workspace customers to consider their energy usage and save it wherever possible, mainly by switching stuff off when it’s not in use, we have plenty of other ideas to share.

“We've run the Big Energy Race twice now, first in February and then again in November. It has been a successful campaign in reducing energy and increasing engagement with our customers.”
