Net Zero Programme update

Net Zero Programme SR21 Update We are continuing our ambitious plans to complete various projects as part of our drive towards Net Zero. This includes LED lighting upgrades, Photovoltaic (PV) (Solar), as well as Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) upgrades to the Government's office portfolio. Our Net Zero Offices Programme funding will allow for Project B of the Whitehall Boiler System. This includes replacing the plate heat exchangers throughout the central Whitehall Estate, allowing a drop in operating temperature to achieve 17.1% carbon emissions reduction (from a 2014 baseline). PUBLIC SECTOR DECARBONISATION SCHEME For projects where a fossil fuel boiler is reaching the end of economic life we will work with departments to submit bids through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) managing the initial application and ongoing required reporting. This will take a fabric-first approach to ensure new Air Source Heat Pumps are sized effectively and will also include additional energy efficiency measures such as LED lighting and PV installation for onsite energy generation. The PSDS will fund delta costs only between a like-for-like replacement and for Air Source Heat Pumps. For our onboarded estate, we will fund the like-for-like costs through our Lifecycle Replacement Programme. To ensure we can plan the bids effectively we will work with departments to understand the current boiler asset conditions to ensure we have a plan of works in place.
