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.
“In the current economic climate, it is vital that we maximize the resources that we are able to put into both patient care and student experience," Eric Munro, joint director of estates and facilities at St. George’s Healthcare NHS Trust and St. George’s University of London, said in the article.
