Utilities Management in PBSA and Academic Spaces

At Derwent FM, we recognise the critical role utilities management plays in student accommodation and academic spaces. Our commitment to reducing costs while promoting sustainability ensures that our clients receive exceptional service. Here are the key features of our utilities management approach: 

• Cost-Efficiency Targets:
  We strive to ensure our clients are receiving the best prices on utilities expenditure by leveraging strategic procurement of energy suppliers and implementing energy reduction schemes. Our goal is to keep utility costs low without compromising quality. 

• Time Savings:
  Let us handle utility supplier research for you. This allows you to focus on your daily operations, knowing that your utilities are in capable hands. 

• Optimised Value:
  By closely monitoring energy sector trends, we ensure that you receive the best value from suppliers. Our expertise allows us to negotiate preferential rates, especially crucial during the current energy crisis. 

• Energy Efficiency:
  We actively implement schemes to significantly reduce unnecessary energy consumption. Our commitment to sustainability benefits both your organisation and the environment. 

• Enhanced Brand Image:
  Derwent FM’s utilities management practices contribute to your reputation as a sustainable, energy-conscious organisation. Students and stakeholders appreciate environmentally responsible choices. 

• Staff and Resident Training:
  We empower your team and tenants to use energy wisely through training and awareness programs. Bills-Inclusive Packages and Reliable Wi-Fi 

In the competitive student accommodation market, bills-inclusive packages are essential for sales. Students seek hassle-free living arrangements, and including utilities in the rent simplifies their experience. Additionally, reliable Wi-Fi is crucial for academic success. Derwent ensures that our properties offer dependable connectivity, supporting students’ studies and overall well-being. 

Navigating the Energy Crisis 

Given the ongoing energy crisis, negotiating preferential rates with utility partners becomes even more critical. Derwent takes this responsibility seriously, working closely with our partners to secure cost-effective solutions for our clients. Our tailored energy efficiency schemes further reduce costs and carbon footprints, contributing to a sustainable future.
