Major retrofit of buildings helps keep council on track to become carbon neutral
Dorset Council’s efforts to fit energy saving measures in its buildings are helping keep it on track to become a carbon neutral
council by 2040, says new report.
According to a council report published this week, carbon emissions from council owned buildings have reduced by over 20
per cent in just one year thanks to a major retrofit programme.
The programme, which was funded by the government, saw measures like heat pumps, solar panels and low-energy lighting
installed in over 200 council owned buildings, including schools, libraries and leisure centres. Combined, this work has
drastically cut energy use and costs for the council and its partners, with an estimated saving of over £1million a year.
