Standard Chartered
Global leaders in facilities management
Standard Chartered has a heritage spanning more than 150 years in the UK, with its headquarters based in London. As a global financial centre, London serves as a key hub for the bank’s Wholesale Banking activities, alongside significant Private Banking and International Banking operations.
With a network of over 1,700 branches and outlets across more than 80 countries, Standard Chartered operates as a universal bank, delivering consumer, corporate, commercial, and treasury banking services worldwide.
The challenge
The objective was to reduce carbon emissions through the deployment of a comprehensive energy metering solution supported by advanced reporting and analytics software, enabling accurate and efficient monitoring. Effective carbon monitoring represents a critical first step towards achieving a more carbon-neutral operation.
A state-of-the-art carbon monitoring platform enables the client to identify high-emission areas across the site, providing clear insight into where targeted investment and remediation are required in order to meet—and exceed—recommended carbon reduction benchmarks.
The solution
In response to government incentives encouraging the adoption of carbon reduction measures over increased taxation, organisations are increasingly investing in the upgrade of building infrastructure to incorporate advanced energy metering solutions. As part of this initiative, Standard Chartered appointed Shepherd FM as the principal contractor for an energy efficiency project at its London Head Office. Socomec was subsequently selected to supply the metering instrumentation, software, and associated services, with entrustIT Technical Solutions appointed to deliver the installation and system programming.
Working in close collaboration with Socomec, approximately 140 energy meters were installed across the London site, all reporting to a centralised data hub. Leveraging the existing data network, the solution enables the client to access and download detailed energy reports on demand, supporting ongoing monitoring, compliance, and optimisation initiatives.
The benefits
DWM delivered the works to a tightly managed programme defined by LLAOL, coordinating on-site engineering resources alongside multiple contractors delivering parallel services.
Effective planning and collaboration ensured the installation was completed smoothly, with minimal disruption to the airport’s day-to-day operations.
As a result, London Luton Airport now benefits from a highly modern, technically advanced security solution that supports the ongoing safety of passengers and staff. This capability is underpinned by an Excel infrastructure platform, backed by a comprehensive 25-year warranty, providing long-term assurance and resilience.
