Sustainability Commitment
Retrofit-First is Sustainability-First
Every building we optimize is a building we don't need to demolish. Our approach prioritizes extending asset life, reducing waste, and minimizing carbon impact — for our clients and for the planet.
Avoid embodied carbon by retrofitting rather than replacing. The greenest equipment is equipment already installed.
Reduce operational carbon through smarter controls, predictive maintenance, and continuous optimization of running systems.
Extend asset lifespan by 5–10 years through proactive care, delaying the full environmental cost of replacement.
How Retrofit Reduces Carbon
Avoided Embodied Carbon
By retrofitting instead of replacing, we avoid the massive embodied carbon in manufacturing, transporting, and installing new equipment. A 500-ton chiller replacement can generate 200+ tonnes of CO2e.
Reduced Operational Carbon
Optimized building systems consume 10-30% less energy, directly reducing Scope 2 emissions. Energy efficiency is the fastest path to decarbonization.
Extended Asset Life
Predictive maintenance and smart controls extend equipment lifespan by 5-10 years, delaying the environmental cost of replacement and disposal.
Sustainable Practices
Paperless Operations
All project documentation, commissioning reports, and maintenance logs are digital-first. No unnecessary printing.
Remote-First Support
80% of troubleshooting and optimization happens remotely, reducing travel-related emissions. On-site visits only when necessary.
E-Waste Recycling
Obsolete controllers and equipment are disposed of through certified e-waste recyclers. We prioritize repair and refurbishment over replacement.
Energy-Efficient Office
We practice what we preach. Our office uses LED lighting, smart HVAC controls, and renewable energy where available.
UN Sustainable Development Goals Alignment
Our work directly contributes to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:
Affordable and Clean Energy
By optimizing energy consumption in existing buildings, we reduce demand on power grids and make energy access more affordable and reliable.
Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
We retrofit aging infrastructure with modern technology, extending its life and improving resilience without requiring full replacement.
Sustainable Cities and Communities
Smart building optimization contributes to creating more livable, efficient, and sustainable urban environments with better air quality and comfort.
Responsible Consumption and Production
Retrofitting prevents unnecessary equipment disposal and reduces demand for new manufacturing, promoting circular economy principles.
Climate Action
Energy efficiency is the fastest and most cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Every project reduces operational carbon.
Future Commitments
We are on a journey to further reduce our environmental impact. Here is where we are headed.
Carbon Neutral Operations
Achieve carbon neutrality for our own operations — offices, travel, and infrastructure — by 2027, verified against a recognised standard.
Scope 3 Emissions Reporting
Measure and publicly report Scope 3 emissions across our supply chain, partners, and client project delivery to understand our full footprint.
Verified Carbon Offsetting
Partner with verified offset projects — reforestation, renewable energy, and methane capture — that align with our values and are independently audited.
Client Carbon Tracking Tools
Develop dashboards and reporting tools to help clients measure, track, and communicate their carbon savings from every Prysm Edge project.
