CAPITAL DEVELOPMENTS Clause Samples

CAPITAL DEVELOPMENTS. 1. CFT is committed to being environmentally aware, reduce its energy consumption and increase its sustainable practices as determined by its Environmental Action Plan 2014: a) Energy consumption will be recorded during the first year of activity since the capital project Annual report to CDC We saw a reduction in heating energy from 95 in 15/16 to 54 kWh/sqm in 16/17 and electricity from 148 kWh/sqm in 15/16 to 133 kWh/sqm in 16/17. This has also seen our EPC rating drop from category C-53 to a category B- 46 in 16/17. CFT will continue to monitor and look for opportunities to match or improve in forthcoming years. b) Building on the use of energy efficient technologies installed in the Festival Theatre CFT will further develop core best practice methods and identify equipment which can be implemented as appropriate in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Theatre. c) CFT will continue to investigate working with partners, including Chichester District Council, to benefit from regional initiatives such as sustainable transport and recycling. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ refurbishment completed in April 2016 gives us a BMS control system for better energy management, low energy LED lighting throughout and water saving percussive taps. Baseline data will be completed in April 2017 for comparison annually, like the festival theatre, to ensure maximum efficiency is achieved. CFT is undertaking a replacement of its backstage main staircase lighting system with upgrade from CFL to LED lighting. This sees a saving of almost 50% in energy in 62 fittings running for on average 16 hours per day- a reduction from 61.5kwh to 31kwh per day. CFT continues to proactively look for opportunities to invest in energy efficiency projects like this. CFT continue to work with Veolia to manage waste disposal. We are now recycling more and looking at changing the frequency of collections and also considering a compacter which will squash the recycling matter and allow us to fill the large bins with more material and therefore having fewer collections.
