Eastbourne Hospital Renewable Energy Project
Time: 11:00 am - 11:25 am
Date: 09 Oct 2024
Eastbourne District General Hospital is the first hospital in the United Kingdom to be exclusively heated by renewable energy. In a landmark project the Trust, in collaboration with the Carbon and Energy Fund (CEF), bid for and won £28million from the third phase of the Salix Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme to deliver an ambitious energy overhaul of this 1970s acute hospital. The project had two key aspects; significant overhaul of the entire building fabric and conversion from steam to a multistage air source heat pump system, supported by solar photovoltaics. Ahead of project commencement, the Trust on recommendation from the CEF installed heat meters on every heating circuit in the hospital, which for the first time ever has enabled the impact of a holistic approach to thermal improvement to be quantitively appraised. This presentation will present the data analysis to date, which is anticipated to show a much improved case for holistic fabric improvements compared to a piecemeal approach that may influence future capital spend on energy projects.
This presentation will provide the latest summary and learnings from this landmark project and an opportunity for questions and discussions with the presenters.
