Other improvements planned as part of the scheme to improve energy efficiency at the Shrewsbury site include pipework improvements, roof insulation, LED lighting and new building energy management systems. Gas boilers will be replaced with air source heat pumps, and cavity wall and roof insulation fitted to help improve energy efficiency of the building, after Telford & Wrekin Council was awarded £1,083,983 in grant funding.
“By allocating over £557 million today, we are standing steadfast behind our public sector and local businesses, providing the help they need to make the switch to cleaner, home grown energy,” said Minister for Energy Efficiency and Green Finance Lord Callanan.
