North Lanarkshire Council aims to reduce annual energy and water consumption in operational buildings

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A new commitment by North Lanarkshire Council will see it aim to reduce its energy and water consumption in operational buildings by three per cent each year.The new Energy Policy was produced in response to the council’s declaration of a climate emergency in 2019, and it will contribute to its target of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030.In 2019/20, 67 per cent of the local authority’s carbon emissions resulted from use of buildings, street lighting and domestic landlord supplies, so the new policy will focus on “good management of energy and water in properties used by all services, including education, leisure, transport, culture and administration”.The Lanarkshire Live app is available to download now.
