… changes, will help to reduce the emissions produced at these buildings. • In addition, as the national grid decarbonises, it is recommended that heat sources are generally electrified where possible (e.g. by the installation of heat pumps). This will help to reduce gas consumption significantly and the emissions associated with heating Council operated buildings. 0.0 50.0 100.0 150.0 200.0 250.0…
