零净值之旅
在过去的五年里, 我们和ECC合作过 throughout its evolving decarbonisation journey; developing and submitting detailed 政府 grant applications worth £7m; reviewing ECC’s estate to identify priority sites; creating feasibility studies, securing government funding; and providing turnkey project management services for the installation of a range of 能源 efficient 科技nology, 包括太阳能电池板, air source heat pumps and double-glazing.
Using solar to cut 能源 costs
Solar panels significantly reduce 能源 costs, offering a low maintenance solution to generate greener 能源. In 2021, ECC started its first installation phase, which soon expanded to another 12 schools and 20 core council buildings, including libraries and children’s centres. Mitie has installed remote monitoring equipment to track the panel performance, carbon savings achieved and any maintenance requirements. The data is sent to a portal that can be accessed by Mitie, the ECC facilities/能源 teams and the schools themselves.
Partnering on a decarbonisation strategy
The new solar panels significantly reduce carbon emissions and 能源 costs 对ECC, 产量约为1,700,000 kWh of renewable 能源 every year, equivalent to the 能源 needed to power 450 homes; saving 360 tonnes of CO2 and around £280,500, with estimated payback times of less than 10 years. We have also completed 45 LED lighting projects in core council buildings, saving ECC an estimated £121,000 and 174 tonnes of carbon a year. LED lighting can be up to 80% more 能源 efficient than traditional lighting, as well as having a longer lifespan, cutting replacement and maintenance costs.
