Measure, understand and reduce energy consumption

Hapimag is a sharing community that shares 56 holiday apartments across Europe. Members buy Hapimag shares to be able to book a preferred holiday apartment. Members are rewarded for their custom through a points system and become part of the company community. Hapimag has 120,000 members and is driven by the goal of creating a high-quality and sustainable holiday experience.

Sustainability and community are central to the Hapimag business model. The organization aims to minimize the ecological impact of their operations and strives for net-zero emissions by lowering overall energy consumption, switching to renewable energy sources and reducing waste.

Hapimag engaged NTT DATA to better understand their current carbon footprint and find ways to reduce carbon emissions, in line with standards set out by the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, the 2015 Paris Agreement and the organization’s own sustainability strategy.

"As a result of the collaboration with NTT DATA, we can better understand our carbon footprint and how it affects our scope of operations. By knowing our baseline emission and emission reduction measures we can strategically work toward a carbon-neutral future with the tools and expertise provided by NTT DATA."

Energy audits and recommendations reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions

Initially, Hapimag asked NTT DATA to conduct a series of energy audits on a few selected resorts, to identify where their energy consumption was high. We were also asked to provide recommendations for reducing consumption. In response to growing pressures globally to mitigate the risks of climate change, Hapimag then went several steps further, engaging NTT DATA to extend the energy audits to all 56 of their resorts and develop their first GHG emissions inventory to include a scope 3 analysis. The project required a team of 10 consultants who supported Hapimag over 12 months. The team comprised specialists in environmental reporting who had the skills to measure carbon emissions from buildings and office practices.

The team began by developing a toolkit in Excel that could be used to measure and audit the amount of carbon being emitted from different areas within the business. We focused on scope 1 and 2 calculations for the audit as areas within Hapimag’s sphere of control. By analyzing the data, the team was able to identify which technologies, assets and business areas were the most energy-intensive.

As part of their plan to reduce carbon emissions, Hapimag also wanted a tool that could show the financial and environmental impact of reducing energy consumption and GHG emissions. So, in parallel to calculating their emissions as part of the audit, we built a carbon calculation tool that will automate data-collection and tracking and display the parameters being analyzed – energy savings, carbon-emission savings and financial impact – in a graphic format, enabling Hapimag to independently monitor GHG emissions in the future. The GHG Protocol and Carbon Risk Real-Estate Monitor (CRREM) framework was used to develop the toolkit and propose mitigation measures for the scopes under Hapimag’s sphere of control, such as:

  • Scope 1: Eliminate fossil fuel-consuming technical equipment by replacing low-efficiency pool heat pumps, switching to an all-electric transport fleet, installing district heating connections or moving to biomass boilers.
  • Scope 2: Reduce electricity consumption by installing smart lighting systems and photovoltaic systems or replacing low-efficiency equipment.
  • Combined scope 1 and 2 options: Implement consumption-monitoring systems, improve building facade insulation, and replace glass windows with more modern and energy-efficient alternatives.

"We are very proud to have delivered a full environmental audit on behalf of Hapimag. We know that with the power of data, they are now in a position to take positive steps to achieving their ultimate goal of becoming net-zero and we are proud to have played our part in their sustainability journey."

On the path to net-zero

As a result of the work done by NTT DATA, Hapimag now has a clear view of their corporate carbon footprint and detailed information on which areas of the business, and which assets are most carbon-intensive. Using the customized tools developed by NTT DATA, Hapimag can continue tracking their carbon footprint independently. Following the recommendations made in the energy audits, diverse technical systems have been put in place in several resorts to help Hapimag reduce their total carbon footprint.
