St. George’s Hospital in London has signed a pact with British Gas to try to lower its energy costs by 25 percent, or 1 million pounds, according to an article on the Energy Live News website.

The NHS hospital also expects to reduce its carbon emissions by 6,000 tons a year.

St. George’s new equipment includes combined heat and power (CHP) boilers, absorption chillers, solar photovoltaics, steam system modifications and a range of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning changes.
