Tameside decarbonisation
Get in touch
Summary
Carbon reducing retrofits across a wide estate
Since July 2018, Robertson has provided a suite of services to Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council.
We provide facilities management to 186 buildings, across 19,000 m2 of internal area and 19 council wards.
£70,000
operational cost saved per year
356t CO2
emissions saved per year
Benchmarking and monitoring energy use
Having set up detailed energy management dashboards to monitor and benchmark energy use, our energy management team benefits from intimate knowledge of the M&E services in eight schools in the Tameside area.
Securing funding for feasibility / capital works
We worked with the Local Education Partnership to secure Low Carbon Skills Funding so that our partner AECOM could carry out feasibility studies.
For 11 buildings, we assessed and specified the most effective ways to reduce energy consumption, improve building efficiency and drive down carbon emissions.
Our proposals to secured full grant funding from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Fund to cover the capital cost of ‘category 1’ decarbonisation measures — the heating systems.
