RESOLVED THAT:

1.    A capital investment of £151,000 from the Green Investment Fund, to install and/or upgrade the building management systems and monitoring arrangements across the council’s operational property estate, be approved;

2.    Authority be delegated to the Director of Climate Change, in consultation with the Director of Finance and Assets (Deputy s151 Officer), to procure and award the contract for the installation of the equipment and monitor the implementation.

The Cabinet Member Climate Emergency introduced the report and wished to thank the climate team for their work on this. Using the green investment fund to upgrade the council’s building management system was a good first place to start-investing in sustainable solutions now would save in the future.

The building management project would support all CBC buildings including the Pump Room, the Municipal Offices and the Wilson and would ensure that energy use is positively managed and maintained with the focus on not heating and powering buildings when they are not in use. The system could be accessed remotely using live technology and a step forward in moving towards more climate sustainable energy sources and also saving substantial money.

Members welcomed the report and the use of this advanced technology to make a positive impact for the environment and reducing associated energy usage costs of our buildings.
