A major energy overhaul at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is on track to save 2 million pounds and 10,000 tons of CO2 in its first year, according to an article on The Energyst website.

A new energy center and upgrades at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH) had saved almost a quarter of a million pounds in its first month.

The upgrade included a 4.5MWe combined heat and power (CHP) plant, heat network and HV link between the John Radcliffe and Churchill hospitals, which are 2.2km apart. 

It also included new boilers, heat exchangers, chillers, a new building management system and some 6,400 light fittings.
