HEFCE recognises that HEIs have a critical role in addressing
the challenges presented by climate change and contributing towards
government targets for carbon emission reduction.
sustainable construction
We advise property developers and construction companies on how
they can develop zero carbon properties and the impact that energy
performance certificates and other climate change induced measures
can have on their business.
commercial arrangements in the climate change arena
From understanding the implications of environmental taxation on
your business, through to advising on carbon offsetting contracts
and the legal implications of new business opportunities, we can
help with the commercial arrangements surrounding:
- carbon offsetting
- energy management
- ecological and carbon impact consultancy
- renewable energy provision
- smart metering.
environmental issues
We can advise on compliance with the Carbon Reduction Commitment
(CRC), renewable energy strategies, green leases, wildlife and
habitat issues, waste policies and emissions trading, as well as
more traditional environmental law issues such as transactional
warranties and clean-up liabilities.
