Winchester University- GV new
WINCHESTER is set to become one of the lowest carbon emitting universities in the UK following a £3.1 million grant.
The money from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) signals the start of a major capital investment programme by the uni in innovative low carbon plant and equipment.
Phase 1 will see the replacement of 35 gas boilers with low energy heat pumps; a lighting upgrade to replace existing older-style lighting with low energy LEDs; an upgrade to the Building Management System to optimise energy consumption in buildings; and the installation of two large solar photovoltaic arrays designed to produce on-site generation of electricity at peak times.
