CASE STUDIES _ Streamlining EPC Data Management for Lancaster City Council


The Challenge:
Lancaster City Council struggled with manually collating and managing EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) data, a process that was time-consuming and resource-heavy. The use of static Excel spreadsheets meant data became outdated quickly, leading to unreliable long-term decision-making and placing strain on council resources.
Our Approach:
AIM collaborated with Lancaster City Council by importing their property list into our platform. Using automation, we connected each property to its EPC data and displayed it in a dynamic, filterable dashboard. This streamlined process eliminated manual entry and allowed for real-time updates.
The Results:
- Time Savings: What once took weeks was now accomplished in minutes, with updated EPC data accessible instantly.
- Real-Time Updates: Data was kept current, eliminating outdated information, no more manual time required.
- Improved Efficiency: The council reallocated resources to higher-priority tasks.
- Enhanced Insight: The filterable dashboard enabled quick, informed decisions.
- Strategic Alignment: With the AIM platform, Lancaster can:
- Prioritise properties needing improvements to achieve a “C” rating or higher.
- Accurately budget for upcoming maintenance and retrofit programmes.
- Plan and schedule to update expiring EPCs
- Cost Savings: AIM provided Lancaster City Council with a cost-effective, scalable solution without the need for expensive bespoke systems, making it a financially viable and innovative choice.
