The government’s net zero target aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 100% (from 1990 levels) by 2050, with the NHS committed to this target by 2040, the first health service to do so . To help achieve this the government’s Net Zero Strategy includes guidance and case studies for all sectors in the economy, including construction.
We are proud to say Foleshill Health Centre is used as an exemplar of excellence in the newly updated Promoting Net Zero Carbon and Sustainability in Construction document produced by the Government Commercial Function. As well as the benefits of Passivhaus, the study demonstrates the importance of value for money and how the team at Foleshill provided the ‘consistent focus’ required to ensure procurement, evaluation, contracting delivery and operation were all aligned to meet our carbon and sustainability objectives.
The Cabinet office have set out key policies and guidance for how public works projects and programmes are assessed, procured and delivered, see here for more details.
