… The installation of a BMS at larger sites will ensure that heating is being used appropriately and can be more easily managed. Central Heating Controls – 6.28 tCO2e potential reduction Greater control over existing central heating systems and its usage will enable the Council to reduce unnecessary energy consumption and reduce GHG emissions. Building Fabric Insulation – 2.12 tCO2e potential…
… reduction Ensuring that buildings are properly insulated will help to increase their thermal efficiency by retaining more heat and reducing subsequent heating demand. Behavioural Change – 1.13 tCO2e potential reduction Helping employees to use heating more effectively will help to increase energy efficiency, further reduce unnecessary heating use, and contribute towards reducing…
