When demolishing the laundry building, we had to ensure the underground plantroom, service ducts and live services running under the demolition area were not affected.<\/p>\n<p>The 287kW solar PV arrays on the roof spaces are installed, commissioned, and now supply electricity to the hospital, and the 350kW air source heat pumps are in situ and ready to be commissioned. We\u2019ve upgraded 6,626 lights across the hospital to LED fittings, which not only reduces energy consumption, but enhances the patient experience in both the wards and common areas too.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also installed 1.1km of new pipework in the underground service ducts which supply steam, condensate, and low temperature hot water pipework to 36 plantrooms. During the installation, we ensured service of supply was not interrupted and that there was a seamless changeover.<\/p>\n<p>Once complete, this project will reduce the Trust\u2019s carbon footprint by 14,000 tonnes a year, and guarantee energy savings of at least \u00a31.3m a year for the Nottingham City Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about the project <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitalenergi.co.uk\/media\/press-releases\/vital-energi-reduce-nottingham-city-hospital-s-energy-costs-by-1-3m-a-year\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"quote\">\n<div class=\"wrap quote__wrap\">\n<div class=\"swiper-container js-simple-quotes\">\n<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n<div class=\"quote__holder\"><span class=\"quote__icon\"> <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"36\" height=\"28\" viewbox=\"0 0 36 28\"><g fill=\"#F58220\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><path d=\"M12.319 0h3.648a2 2 0 0 1 1.838 2.788l-10.286 24A2 2 0 0 1 5.681 28H2.033a2 2 0 0 1-1.838-2.788l10.286-24A2 2 0 0 1 12.319 0zM30.319 0h3.648a2 2 0 0 1 1.838 2.788l-10.286 24A2 2 0 0 1 23.681 28h-3.648a2 2 0 0 1-1.838-2.788l10.286-24A2 2 0 0 1 30.319 0z\"><\/path><\/g><\/svg> <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"quote__holder\">\n<p class=\"quote__text\">&#8220;We&#8217;re delighted to have been supported by Vital Energi on the City Energy Project.
