Empowering Sustainable Futures for the Built Environment
We help businesses in the construction and building materials industry unlock the value of clean energy, reduce carbon, and transition to Net Zero.
Featured Services
With over 30 years of industry experience and a deep understanding of sustainability, we help SME's and construction supply chains navigate energy audits, solar solutions, and battery storage systems that drive measurable impact.
Case Studies
Grow Forward – Case Study Synopses
Challenge: Schools with high daytime energy demand wanted to cut electricity costs and carbon emissions.
Solution: Supported SE24 as the link between facilities managers and installers. Delivered feasibility analysis, liaison, and project management for rooftop solar.
Impact: Lower energy bills for schools, improved sustainability credentials, and student engagement with renewable energy.
Challenge: A large off-grid event needed to replace diesel generators with a clean, reliable alternative.
Solution: Supplied and managed two RoyPow Power Store units (20 kWh + 30 kWh), fully charged via solar PV.
Impact: Zero diesel usage, reduced CO₂ emissions, and positive feedback from organisers and attendees on silent, sustainable power.
Challenge: A regional merchant sought to understand their energy use and carbon footprint to align with Net Zero goals.
Solution: Delivered an on-site energy audit covering lighting, heating, solar PV feasibility, and efficiency upgrades.
Impact: Identified 30% potential reduction in operational emissions, cost savings of £10k annually, and clear steps towards compliance with upcoming regulations.
Challenge: Homeowners with existing solar PV were not maximising savings due to fixed-time charging.
Solution: Implemented an AI-driven EMS platform that automated charging and discharging against dynamic tariffs.
Impact: Increased household savings by 25%, improved self-consumption of solar, and reduced reliance on the grid.
Challenge: A construction contractor needed temporary energy supply without relying on diesel generators.
Solution: Deployed a RoyPow BESS unit integrated with solar panels for hybrid power.
Impact: Cleaner working environment, quieter site operations, and compliance with client sustainability requirements.
What is sustainability and net zero
Sustainability is about meeting today’s needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. It’s a balance between environmental protection, economic growth, and social responsibility ensuring that how we live, build, and do business supports a thriving planet and resilient communities. For businesses, sustainability means operating efficiently, reducing waste, conserving energy and resources, and embedding environmental awareness into every decision.
Net Zero goes one step further it’s the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions balanced by actions that remove carbon from the atmosphere, such as renewable energy generation, tree planting, or carbon capture. In the UK, achieving Net Zero by 2050 is a legal target, and it’s reshaping how industries design, manufacture, transport, and power their operations.
For organisations in the built environment and manufacturing sectors, reaching Net Zero isn’t just about compliance it’s an opportunity to innovate. It means adopting low-carbon technologies like Solar PV, Battery Energy Storage Systems, and intelligent energy management. It means rethinking materials, improving efficiency, and aligning with national frameworks such as the UK Net Zero Strategy and Construction Leadership Council’s Roadmap to Zero.
At Grow Forward, we help businesses take practical steps toward sustainability and Net Zero. From energy audits and carbon footprint assessments to renewable power integration and circular economy practices, we provide clear, data-driven pathways that make sustainability achievable and profitable.
Creating a sustainable, low-carbon future isn’t just good for the planet, it’s good for business. By embracing sustainability and working towards Net Zero, companies can cut costs, reduce risk, attract new customers, and lead confidently in the transition to a cleaner, smarter economy.
