Simple actions to improve efficiency

UK organisations could save over £400m a year by taking simple, lowcost actions to improve the efficiency of their hot water boilers, according to new guidance from the Carbon Trust.

New analysis by the Carbon Trust reveals that heating and hot water accounts for over one third of UK organisations' energy consumption and up to 60% of the carbon emissions from some UK industrial processes, such as food production and laundering, where demand for steam or hot water is high. However, it's possible to cut heating costs by up to 30% by implementing some simple boiler-related energy saving measures.
