This initiative is part of a broader effort, with the Council already securing £4.8 million from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme Phase 3c, aimed at transitioning nine buildings to low-carbon technologies. With a goal of achieving net zero by 2030, the Council is focusing on reducing energy consumption and emissions by enhancing building efficiency and incorporating renewable energy sources. Cllr Phillip Jackson emphasises that this funding is crucial for reducing environmental impact and operational costs, ultimately benefiting taxpayers. Salix’s Christopher Masters commends the Council’s commitment, noting that these efforts lay a solid foundation for their net zero journey. #renewables #environmentalhealth #sustainablesolutions #cleanenvironment #sustainability #environmental #sustainableenergy #carbonemissions Click the link below to read more and follow Lincolnshire In Focus for more regional updates. https://lnkd.in/exYbHbP8

🎉 World Green Building Week is in full swing! One of the key pillars of the campaign this year is an urgent push to #Electrify the built environment. ⚡Energy reduction is a key part of a sustainable future. Buildings account for 37% of global energy-related carbon emissions. To reduce this, we need to seek out low-carbon options for how we both build and operate our buildings and eliminate the use of fossil fuels across their whole life cycle. 📋UKGBC’s work on Renewable Energy Procurement seeks to empower stakeholders tasked with procuring energy in the built environment to do so in a way that enables them to realise their climate ambition, while supporting the continued decarbonisation of the electricity supply sector. 🖱Explore our report here and learn more about how we're #BuildingTheTransition: https://lnkd.in/eGkeJjct Learn more about World Green Building Council's WGBW here : https://lnkd.in/dN49h5TE

Great news on this first day of #EarthMonth! Increasing reliance on #renewableenergy across our brands and properties is one way we're working to reach our near-term, long-term and net zero targets, all validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. #netzero #climateaction #sciencebasedtargets

We have partnered with the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC)'s Advancing Net Zero programme, representing the industry’s voice on net zero. World Green Building Week is an important opportunity to foster cross-sector collaboration, helping to overcome the current barriers to achieving the UK’s net-zero target. This year, three key components have been identified as needed in #BuildingTheTransition: ⬇️ Reduce ⚡ Electrify 💡 Adapt We help our clients make vital changes to reduce their carbon impact and develop green working methods.

The Green Building Council of Australia has today released a discussion paper to start an important conversation in the property sector about reporting and accounting for Scope 3 emissions to drive emissions reductions at scale. Releasing the paper today, Jorge Chapa, Chief Impact Officer at GBCA said Scope 3 emissions have unsurprisingly become a focal point in reducing the real estate sector’s carbon footprint. “Scope 3 are the largest and most elusive source of emissions for companies, and until now the property sector hasn't had much specific guidance on how to report on them,” Mr Chapa said. https://lnkd.in/grJxrfwZ Clean Energy Finance Corporation Rory Lonergan #GBCA #Scope3Emissions #RealEstate #CarbonFootprint #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #ClimateAction #NetZero #PropertySector #EnvironmentalResponsibility #EmissionsReduction #CorporateReporting

🌱 With nearly $200 million invested in municipal sustainability projects and over $820 million in new funding from the Government of Canada, 2023-24 has been GMF’s most impactful year to date. However, to reach Canada’s goal of net-zero by 2050, projects also need support from players in the private sector. We’re dedicated to catalyzing even more private investment opportunities forward by supporting projects like the new community energy system in the City of Markham. With a partnership between Enwave Energy Corporation and Mattany Homes, Markham’s geothermal community exemplifies the powerful impact of public-private collaboration: significant reductions in energy use and GHG emissions. 📑 Read our 2023-24 Annual Report to learn more. https://lnkd.in/g57YDwiS
