Derbyshire Mental Health Services NHS Trust

Operating from over 40 buildings and with an annual energy spend of over £600,000 a year, the Trust asked The Green Consultancy to survey six sites representing a cross section of the estate.  The Green Consultancy has worked for over 90 NHS Trusts and has an excellent understanding of the challenges and issues involved.  The Consultant carrying out the work had previously been an energy manager for an NHS Trust.

Our surveys identified the potential to save £130,000 a year across the estate, 20% of the total energy bill, with an average payback period of 14 months.

“I was very pleased when someone with such expertise and experience in the NHS was assigned to us.  With this knowledge he was able to benchmark our activity against other similar establishments. His findings and recommendations were very much in line with our own ideas and we will be moving to address the issues raised”
