The future of energy solutions
Role of EPCs within the NHS

12. NHS Progress So Far
The NHS’ carbon emissions currently contribute to 6.3% of
England’s carbon footprint
Emissions from buildings make up 15% of their carbon
footprint
Between 2007 and 2017 their carbon emissions have been
reduced by 6.2 million tonnes…
…which is a reduction of 18.5% ….
…And equates to the annual emissions from a country the
size of Cyprus!
