Gouda - Royal Imtech N.V. (IM-AE, technical services provider in and outside
Europe) announces that it is selected as one of the technology partners on the
Greater London Authority's (GLA) multi-million RE:FIT framework. RE:FIT is the
Mayor of London's award-winning programme, which provides a commercial model for
public bodies wishing to implement energy efficiency improvements to their
buildings or estate, which can include local energy generation measures. At the
same time, Imtech has recently received technology orders in London with a total
value of over 47 million euro.
René van der Bruggen, CEO Imtech: 'As one of the UK key players in the technical
and energy services marketplace, we're delighted to have been selected for the
Mayor of London's RE:FIT programme. By assisting the public sector in reducing
energy demand and
consumption and decarbonising their energy supply through
implementation of innovative energy efficiency measures, we are enabling
existing buildings to perform better, both commercially and environmentally.
This aligns with the Imtech growth strategy offering considerable added value,
with integration of numerous sustainable solutions and energy efficiency
measures. This RE:FIT partnership and the new orders in London prove that we are
well on the way in implementing our added value growth strategy.'
RE:FIT framework: energy retrofitting over 400 public sector buildings
The award-winning RE:FIT programme is a key manifesto commitment by the Mayor of
London, Boris Johnson, and the cornerstone of helping London's public sector
buildings achieve better performance through retrofitting a range of energy and
water conservation measures. The RE:FIT framework scheme uses selected energy
service companies, such as Imtech, to identify and implement energy conservation
measures, enabling organisations to reduce energy consumption, carbon emissions
and ultimately running costs. The framework is for a 48-month period where
Imtech will guarantee a set level of savings over the payback period of the
energy conservation measures implemented on the RE:FIT projects that will be
awarded. The current RE:FIT pipeline of work for November 2012 onwards includes
energy retrofitting over 400 public sector buildings, where Imtech and other
companies will have the opportunity to deliver innovative energy conservation
measures to achieve an estimated CO2 reduction of 35,000 tonnes per annum. Due
to interest from a range of organisations outside of London, the RE:FIT
framework is also accessible to public sector organisations across the UK and is
a key component within the Energy Efficiency Strategy recently released from the
UK Government's Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
London: 'the place to be', new orders
For Imtech, London is and will remain 'the place to be' with substantial
investment volume in spite of strong competition and price pressure. Imtech's
added value strategy provides a good response to this and leads to
distinctiveness that is recognised by the market. Imtech demonstrates autonomous
growth in markets such as technical maintenance, water, waste-to-energy,
buildings, infrastructure (airports, power, and rail) and industry. Various
medium-sized projects with a total value of over 47 million euro have been won
recently. An example is the technological renovation of the Eaton Court
Building, for which an innovative BIM (Building Information Management) approach
was developed. Other examples include advanced air handling in the office
building at 79-97 Wigmore Street and technical revitalisation at the exclusive
John Lewis store which was implemented while operations continued. In the top
segment of exclusive apartment complexes, Imtech is involved in the prestigious
'375 Kensington High Street' and '61-75 Alie Street' projects. In the airport
market, innovative solutions are being delivered at Gatwick Airport to reduce
water pollution and upgrade the technical infrastructure on and around the
runways. An innovative framework contract has also been agreed with the Ministry
of Justice. This has led to new orders. All Imtech solutions are characterised
by considerable energy efficiency measurements.
