London Mayor Boris Johnson has released a brand new fund for public sector companies to make their buildings more energy efficient and lower carbon emissions.

The London Energy Efficiency Fund delivers cheap loans for organisations such as hospitals, local authorities and police and fire stations to setup energy efficiency equipment in their property.

The fund provides loans of between £3 million and £10 million for installing measures such as energy efficient lighting systems, replacing boilers and fitting smart meters. It is predicted that NHS Trusts, housing associations and establishments in the voluntary sector will be among those that will be lent money from the fund.

Presently, 10 per cent of all carbon emissions in the capital arrive from public sector structures alone so reducing emissions from these buildings is vital to assist the city in reducing its carbon footprint.

However, it is not just large organisations who ought to look to cutting their CO2 emissions. Smaller businesses can also have a positive impact on the atmosphere by lowering their carbon emissions. Utilizing the solutions of a company which offers environmental consultancy services such as Apollo Enviro can enable you to find places were you could reduce your carbon emissions.

From installing voltage optimisation units to reduce the energy used by a business’ gear, to organising environmental awareness workshops to show staff how little changes to their routines can make a big difference, Apollo Enviro can help businesses reduce their carbon footprint and potential cut costs on their energy costs.
