London Mayor Boris Johnson has launched a brand new fund for public sector organisations to help make their buildings more energy efficient and lower carbon emissions.
The London Energy Efficiency Fund offers cheap loans for organisations for example hospitals, local authorities and police and fire stations to setup energy efficiency equipment in their premises.
The fund provides loans of between £3 million and £10 million for installing actions such as energy efficient lighting systems, replacing boilers and installing smart meters. It is predicted that NHS Trusts, housing associations and organisations in the voluntary sector will be among those that will borrow money from the fund.
Presently, 10 per cent of all carbon emissions in the capital come from public sector buildings alone so reducing emissions from these buildings is essential to assist the city in reducing its carbon footprint.
However, it is not just big organisations who should look to cutting their CO2 emissions. Smaller businesses may also have a good effect on the environment by lowering their carbon emissions. Utilizing the services of a company which offers environmental consultancy services such as Apollo Enviro can help you find places were you could minimize your carbon emissions.
From installing voltage optimisation units to decrease the energy used by a business’ gear, to arranging environmental awareness workshops to show staff how small changes to their routines can make a big difference, Apollo Enviro can help businesses reduce their carbon footprint and maybe even save money on their energy costs.
