The ChallengeBovis Lend Lease has a vision to design, construct and own net zero carbon buildings and dramatically reduce energy use. When the organization first began working with 1E on a power management project in 2007, a key sustainability target was set; to reduce carbon emissions by 20% over a three year period. Bovis Lend Lease wanted to reduce the amount of energy used by 278,500 kWh.
Two per cent of Bovis Lend Lease UK’s overall C02 emissions are generated by the office environment, a statistic which led the company to develop a Green Office Guide in 2008 which looks at all areas of sustainability from reducing energy use, minimising waste, green procurement, sustainable business travel and transport to sustainable building management.
“We are always looking for innovations like NightWatchman from 1E that could bring our carbon base load to a lower level,” says Dr Paul Toyne, head of sustainability at Bovis Lend Lease UK.

Case Study - NightWatchman
The SolutionNightWatchman, the industry-leading flagship PC power management software from 1E, was piloted in March 2009 in the UK. Following a successful pilot, the software was deployed on 3,000 PCs at Bovis Lend Lease in Europe. This deployment alone has enabled Bovis Lend Lease to meet one third (32%) of its energy reduction target (113,000 kWh) in just 10 months (March- December 2009).
“The reduction in energy cost that we have seen from deploying NightWatchman onto just 3,000 of our desktops is a saving we expect to make year on year – and there’s potential for even more savings if we consider that this doesn’t yet include any carbon liability savings such as, for example, those which will come into force when the CRC becomes a legal requirement in April 2010.”
