What are we shortlisted for?
We’re very proud to be shortlisted for two awards at this prestigious event.
Healthcare Supplier of the Year
To be shortlisted here showcases the diverse range of services and multi-faceted expertise we can provide and in the last year, our specialist energy teams have delivered wide-ranging decarbonisation programmes at key hospitals, helping them to reach their carbon reduction targets whilst delivering affordable, low-carbon energy efficiency upgrades.
Through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS), a total investment of over £71 million has supported major upgrades at:
- Eastbourne District General Hospital,
- Yeovil Hospital,
- Queen Elizabeth Hospital,
- Good Hope Hospital and Rotherham Hospital.
Together, these projects will reduce annual carbon emissions by 11,865 tonnes CO₂e.
New Build Project of the Year
Working in close partnership with Eastbourne District General Hospital, we successfully completed a £28.2 million energy management contract, guaranteeing carbon savings of over 4,000 tonnes a year.
With PSDS funding, we took an innovative whole building approach that accounted for how the facilities and energy delivery systems interact with each other, while maintaining an indoor environment that enhances patient care.
Upgrades included:
- Desteaming the energy plant,
- Installing heat pumps to provide low carbon heat,
- Improved ventilation systems,
- Insulation and double glazing installations and
- The design and build of the UK’s first solar car park in a hospital providing the site with its own renewable energy.
We look forward to connecting with the healthcare sector at the conference too, building on over 50 years’ worth of experience in advancing the sustainability of healthcare.
Alongside our nominations we’re also exhibiting at the Healthcare Estates Conference on October 8th alongside The Carbon & Energy Fund.
