Building

4 Benham is situated in the Benham Campus of the University of Southampton Science Park. It is a three-floor, multi-tenanted property with a standing seam Kalzip roof. The property experiences high energy consumption during office hours due to the research labs and offices situated inside the building.

Benefits

Energy cost saving: After the first year of installation, when the energy production and consumption data were assessed, it was concluded that over 70% of the building's energy requirements are fulfilled with the renewable solar energy produced.  

Payback period: Due to the high self-consumption of the produced solar energy, the property has a short payback period of around 3 years.  

Export management and energy monitoring: Absolar facilitated the implementation of export management, enabling KDH to sell the unused energy generated by the PV system. Additionally, Absolar designed a customised dashboard that allows building occupants and our client to monitor real-time solar production.
