Roll out LED lighting schemes – these save money and use less energy.
Ensure all energy is purchased from 100% renewable resources.
Invest in renewable energy technology such as hydrogen, solar, thermal and combined heat and power systems.

Ensure buildings are properly insulated and maintained, including draught-proofing of windows and doors.
Work with staff and patients by communicating the importance of water efficiency.
Utilise water efficient technologies, such as low flow taps, reducing the capacity of toilet cisterns, and encouraging the early reporting of water leaks.
