Energy Conservation Service Sample Clauses

Energy Conservation Service. The Council has adopted a Carbon Management Scheme with the objective of trying to reduce our carbon emissions by 30% by 2014/15 and thus far we have been very successful in this regard as we have already achieved 17% by the end of 2011/12. This is achieved through a combination of investment in our buildings and through advice and raising awareness of energy conservation methods. We have already invested in new energy efficient boilers, new lighting, insulation etc, that has led to revenue savings of over £250,000 per annum. We will continue with this investment and work will be done on school buildings. A Raising Awareness Officer has also been appointed and the Low Energy Schools Scheme has thus far been a huge success. In the first year, 35 primary schools made an average saving of 32% on their energy use. The Scheme will continue over the next two years so as to enable every primary school to join up. We ars also preparing a detailed business plan to present renewable energy schemes for several schools. For advice on energy conservation related matters, please contact the Property Help Desk following the usual procedure.
