The York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has been honored for their work to lower carbon emissions, according to an article on the Building Design & Construction website.
The energy project at the York Hospital was honored in the “Best Examples of Efficiencies” category of the Building Better Healthcare Awards 2016.
Jane Money, head of sustainability, York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, said, “This project, procured through the Carbon and Energy Fund, has allowed us to tackle carbon reduction through engineering solutions, which included speeding-up replacement programmes, reducing operating costs and achieving critical plant resilience.
"With the guaranteed financial savings and the reduction in carbon emissions achieved in the first year, the obvious next step for us was to replicate these arrangements at Scarborough and Bridlington Hospitals, and continue this carbon and cost reduction work with Vital Energi. The Trust is delighted to receive national recognition for this project.”
