Peterborough contracts Honeywell for self-funding energy upgrades 27 February 2014

Peterborough City Council has signed a deal with Honeywell for building energy management upgrades that will see guaranteed savings of £163,000 annually for the next 15 years across eight of its major facilities.

Honeywell proposed a range of energy conservation measures for the facilities – which include the town hall, swimming pools, a leisure centre, a library and a car park – and is expected to complete project work within six months.

Measures include upgrades to, or replacement of, building control systems, an air handling unit, lighting systems and pool filtration systems, and were selected following engineering analysis at each facility by Honeywell.

Additionally, as part of the contract, a 'behaviour management programme' will be supported by new information dashboards within a number of the facilities.

"Implementing appropriate energy efficiency programmes, using energy performance contracts, enables us to benefit immediately from the improvements, using future, guaranteed operational savings to reduce capital budget requirements for maintenance and refurbishment," comments John Harrison, executive director for resources at Peterborough City Council.

"We'll be using our experience, expertise and resources to drive energy reductions and to ensure ongoing demand is both minimised and optimised," comments James Napier, general manager-energy for Honeywell.

"With more contract awards anticipated in the future, this framework will help the council to cut its energy bill and to reduce its carbon tax."
