zero.\u00a0 Over this time we have successfully delivered 12 projects ranging from local authorities and universities to NHS Health Boards and Trusts.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most innovative aspects of the RE:FIT framework is that projects are underpinned by an energy performance contract which guarantees carbon reduction and financial savings through energy reduction.\u00a0 We are delighted to announce that this work now accounts for over 11,500 tonnes of guaranteed carbon savings each and every year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rich-text-image rte\" data-anchor=\"\">\n<div

we were guaranteeing over 1 million tonnes of carbon reduction to the NHS.\u00a0 Passing both these landmarks demonstrates how effective the correct framework can be and we look forwards to working alongside more of the UK\u2019s councils, universities, hospitals and other public sector organisations as they work towards their net zero goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the environmental benefits, our RE:FIT projects are also delivering \u00a39.8m in guaranteed energy savings per year, which is money which can now be reinvested where it will do the most good.<\/p>\n<p>Projects have seen us install building fabric improvements, lighting upgrades, HVAC improvements, Building Management Systems, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitalenergi.co.uk\/heat-pumps\/\">heat pumps<\/a>, rooftop solar PV and major solar farms in buildings ranging from leisure centres, hospitals, and universities to schools and libraries.\u00a0 We often work with our clients to adopt a phased approach, allowing them to make progress on their net zero journeys as funding becomes available.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to learn more about RE:FIT projects and how they\u2019re delivered we have case
