It is great to see The City of London Corporation's ambitious circular strategy (link below) with the aim to become fully circular by 2040! ♻️ Forward thinking policies such as these are leading to authentic and tangible change. For example, HUB's planned co-living scheme in The City embodies these circular principles - deploying reuse strategies and materials with more recycled content and longer life spans. Is the City of London's leading circular policy scalable, or is it only feasible in the world famous Square Mile? 🏛️ Good policy ➕ Industry adoption & support 🟰 Positive change ✅ https://lnkd.in/egw5PJrr

Investment into the UK’s Single Family Rental sector in 2023 soared to £1.9bn, up fivefold from 2022. 🤑  Knight Frank’s 2024 analysis also reported on investors' plan to commit a further £17bn of capital over the next five years. 🚀 This could translate to the delivery of >60,000 homes. 🏡 🏠 🏡 A key driver identifying these flows was the increasing number of partnerships between house builders and those specialising in Build to Rent. With 40% of house builders having either already sold or intending to sell homes to Build to Rent investors. 👀 How many of these homes are being built specifically to be rented with whole-life costs and longer term operations in mind? 💅 We are looking forward to continuing to support our clients in the Single Family Rental sector with fit-for-purpose appliance solutions that reduce cost, carbon and hassle throughout the lifespan of assets. 👏 https://lnkd.in/eWPzdyxn

The biggest office-to-residential conversion in the US is hitting the market with 1,320 apartments. After a two year conversation this 55 year old building, originally built to house computers, will now house several thousand new residents alongside; ✅ home offices ✅ private bowling alleys ✅ two pickleball courts ✅ a karaoke room ✅ two swimming pools ✅ a Himalayan salt room ✅ not forgetting "panelled appliances and in-unit washer-dryers"! ❤️ This project is the first in the US to take advantage of large tax reducing incentives to encourage the converting of offices into residential spaces. Are there opportunities in the UK market - especially for distressed assets? Are the incentives available to encourage this shift that can reduce new build emissions, whilst tackling the housing crisis? #officeconversions #circularity #appliances

The efficiency paradox in appliances: Why energy-efficient alone isn't enough for true sustainability. Have you noticed that your energy-efficient appliances aren't saving as much energy as promised? There's an interesting economic concept called the Jevons Paradox that explains why - when something becomes more efficient, we often end up using more of it, not less. Here's something to think about: homes are responsible for about two-thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions, with people's houses using 20% of the world's total energy. The Department of Energy has found something concerning: while energy-efficient appliances help save money on bills, they've created new problems. These appliances don't last as long as older models, and their warranty coverage has dropped from 10 years to just 1 year. Take LED lights as an example. Even though many people have switched to these more efficient bulbs, we're not seeing big drops in overall energy use for lighting. Why? Because when lighting becomes cheaper to use, people tend to use more of it. The costs we don't see right away are adding up. Appliances breaking down more often means more repairs and more frequent replacements. This creates a cycle that hurts both our environment and our wallets. If you manage properties, here's what you can do to make a real difference: Look at how much appliances cost over their entire life, not just their energy ratings... Set up systems to track energy use data Create strong maintenance and repair plans Work with companies that focus on reusing and recycling Keep appliances running longer through regular maintenance We need to think differently about this problem. As a company who works to make properties more sustainable, we'd love to hear your ideas. How are you dealing with these efficiency challenges in your buildings?

Have you ever thought about the real cost of fixing things only when they break? The numbers might make you think twice. We've noticed something concerning in property management: more than 40% of operators still fix things only when they break, even though we know this costs more money and hurts the environment in the long run. Here's something to think about: buildings use up 30% of the world's energy, and poor maintenance makes this problem worse. Let us share three real examples that show why planning maintenance ahead of time is worth the investment: Buildings that schedule regular maintenance see 38% fewer HVAC repair requests Companies like Siemens have cut their CO2 emissions by more than half by planning their maintenance ahead Unilever saved almost half their water usage across 100 buildings by staying ahead of maintenance issues Want to get started? Here's what you need on your maintenance checklist: Check your systems regularly (HVAC, appliances, building structure) Use smart sensors to track when maintenance is needed Train your team on prevention methods Keep digital records of all maintenance work The results speak for themselves: buildings that plan their maintenance cut their carbon footprint by 26% and spend less on operations.

Temperature: The silent threat to appliance longevity Temperature plays a crucial role in appliance lifespan. Extreme heat or cold can significantly reduce the lifespan and efficiency of essential appliances like refrigerators, HVAC systems, and washing machines. Understanding temperature thresholds: Refrigerators: Optimal temperature range is 35-38°F. Extreme temperatures can damage the compressor and reduce efficiency. HVAC systems: Ideal indoor temperature is between 68-72°F. Extreme temperatures can strain the system and lead to breakdowns. Washing machines: Cold temperatures can freeze water lines, while excessive heat can damage seals and electronic components. Seasonal Maintenance Tips: Spring: Clean refrigerator coils, dryer vents, and AC filters. Summer: Maintain clean AC filters and water heater tanks. Monitor humidity levels. Autumn: Seal windows and doors, clean or replace furnace filters, and clean gutters. Winter: Check chimneys, inspect heating systems, and insulate pipes. The role of professional maintenance: While DIY maintenance is helpful, complex systems like HVAC units require professional care. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, calibration, and component replacement, can significantly extend appliance lifespan. Case studies: The power of temperature management Improved HVAC efficiency: Regular maintenance led to a 20% increase in efficiency and a 5-year lifespan extension. Reduced refrigerator breakdowns: Proper ventilation and maintenance reduced breakdowns by 30% and extended lifespan by 3 years. Minimised winter damage: Temperature control measures prevented 40% of washing machine failures. Aligning temperature management with sustainability Effective temperature management aligns with sustainability goals. By reducing energy consumption and extending appliance lifespans, property managers can significantly lower their environmental impact. Partner with Iterum for sustainable solutions.

The hidden environmental impact of appliances (beyond energy ratings) Did you know household appliances contribute to 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions? That energy rating label you see? It's just the tip of the iceberg. Property managers, it's time to look beyond efficiency ratings to truly understand your appliance impact. Manufacturing an appliance requires massive resource extraction and energy-intensive production. Modern appliances contain rare earth elements and precious metals, depleting finite resources. The environmental cost starts long before installation. Reality check: Large appliances now last 12.5 years on average - up from 11.7 years in 2019. But early replacement for minor efficiency gains? That could do more harm than good. The disposal crisis is real. Appliances in landfills release harmful chemicals, heavy metals, and methane from decomposing plastics. Improper disposal threatens soil, water, and air quality. Change is coming: By 2027, EU's Digital Product Passports will transform how we track appliance lifecycles. Property managers need to prepare for this new era of transparency and accountability. The solution? Circular economy principles. Proper maintenance extends lifespan, reduces waste, and saves money. A standard refrigerator from the 1990s uses 3x more energy than modern efficient models. Property managers: Ready to transform your appliance strategy? Replacing one inefficient appliance can prevent 30 billion pounds of CO2 emissions annually. Time to think full lifecycle.
