Welcome to LASER Energy

The big thing with LASER Energy, I think, is the strength of their customer support team and the data analytics we get. Our Energy Manager has worked with LASER to create bespoke reports that are really useful in reducing consumption. LASER made the whole process straightforward, from securing funding to managing the installation.

Cranfield University has used LASER since 1998. We are very happy with the service they have provided and we continue to transfer more properties to their contract. LASER have been very responsive to our requirements and proven themselves helpful in sorting out problems with failed meters and incorrect data from previous suppliers.

The work we have done with LASER has allowed us to evaluate our current position and fully grasp the scale of the task of reaching net zero. The forecasts of emissions in different scenarios were particularly useful in that they helped us understand the potential impact that varying options or sets of initiatives might have. In comparison with others, we felt that LASER's work gave us a great level of detail and a strong platform from which to move forwards.

We were lucky enough to receive funding from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme and this project helps us to fulfil our net zero targets by 2030. We're really happy with the result of the install and the LASER team have been amazing in managing this project from start to finish.

I would like to thank the whole team at LASER for growing and developing with the needs of the Trust. Each year with the addition of more data comes the requirement to reach for new goals. Working with the team we have now created bespoke reporting to better suit the needs of the Trust. This will allow a future of better decision making based on actual building consumption. The key work around budget setting has also made a marked improvement for the Finance Department and has allowed less swing during the year as we have a better understanding on monthly consumptions. The accrual work that feeds into this is also key along with the monthly tracker for ensuring all streams are covered and completed as well as being tracked.

Since 2015 we have been working with LASER and we have continued to utilise their services for both utility procurement and have recently accessed their Net Zero framework to support our delivery of LCSF Phase 4 funds. We are looking forward to working with LASER in the future as we develop our trust-wide Heat Decarbonisation strategy.

“It's given us the wow factor. People come up the stairs from the lobby and they walk into this fantastic light, bright space and their reaction is, wow.”

The way the installation was carried out in building 45 proved to be a success. We are already seeing a 29.5% reduction in energy and are looking forward to achieving more savings as each new installation progresses.
