NHS trust to cut £2m off energy bills as part of energy efficiency programme

An NHS trust is set to achieve estimate energy savings of up to £2m after securing £7 million of funding for running a dedicated energy saving programme, a recent news report has been able to find.

The Green Investment Bank (GIB) and investors DLL have committed £6.9 million for green technologies, including a new 2.5MW Combined Heat and Power system, LED lighting and an upgrade to the building management system to be deployed at the Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust.

The project is expected to help the Trust reduce its annual energy costs by around £2 million.

Ed Northam, Head of Investment Banking at GIB said: “The NHS is one of the UK’s biggest energy consumers and upgrading existing technology will increase the reliability and resilience of its entire estate. This programme of energy efficient improvements will save energy, cut costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions without impinging on patient care.”

HeatingSave – the energy efficiency solution of choice for significant savings

Replacing an older control system with a HeatingSave energy and boiler management controller is the quickest way of beating those tariff rises and saving on energy costs, often paying for itself in less than a year but almost always in less than 3 years.

HeatingSave can cut your energy usage by 20% to 30% with its energy management control, as its internal microprocessor constantly calculates and improves the efficiency and savings of your central heating system.

Using HeatingSave, simply choose the room temperature and the hot water you want, and when, and HeatingSave does the rest. It works with all central heating systems – oil, gas or coal – and links up with a PC to produce reports and graphs to fashion a powerful and complete energy management system.

The system is backed by the Carbon Trust and the Energy Savings Trust.
