Building

2 Venture Road is situated in the University of Southampton Science Park and is a two-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.

We at the Southampton Science Park have ambitious sustainability target, and Absolar’s work has supported our work towards this goal. Up to 2025, we have 9 buildings powered by solar systems provided by Absolar. And from the first project to the latest, their work has been professional, efficient, and great value for money. We would highly recommend their service to any business parks or commercial landlords.
