DFES has recently introduced a Sustainable Operations Management System (SOMS), to help it meet the framework for Sustainable Development in Government’s (SDiG) renewable energy and energy reduction targets on its office estate.
As part of DFES strategy within the SOMS and supporting action plans, DFES will conduct a feasibility study into on-site low and zero carbon heat and power generation systems. This will include a cost benefit analysis for sourcing more energy from renewables.
As part of DFES strategy within the SOMS and supporting action plans, DFES will set annual targets to meet SDiG energy efficiency targets, developing and communicating energy protocols incorporating short and long term energy management improvement actions (including Carbon Trust identified actions) and energy monitoring programmes to report on energy usage and trends.
