Faithful+Gould is working in partnership with the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) to launch a national decarbonisation programme of the ‘blue-light’ estate, which will include organisations from across the emergency services sector.
The company will lead on the decarbonisation of the estate and look to reduce energy consumption, change user behaviours and improve sustainability measures.
Daniel Jermin, regional director and programme lead for Faithful+Gould, said: “The world experienced its hottest day ever recorded in July 2023, breaking the global average temperature record previously set in 2016. It comes as a timely reminder, if one is needed, that the time for taking action on climate change is now.
“As such, we are extremely proud to have supported the design of this decarbonisation programme’s operating model and to lead the project in collaboration with NFCC, fire and rescue services and wider blue-light organisations. We are able to deliver a programme of real change, based on our wide experience of working with clients to decarbonise buildings at estate level, in order to make carbon visible, change behaviours and accelerate the journey towards net zero targets.”
Elli Nikolaou, NFCC national category lead for FM and construction, added: “We are making a significant positive impact to decarbonisation by focussing on what is on our doorstep. With buildings responsible for 40% of global carbon emissions, our national decarbonisation programme demonstrates how we can tackle such a global challenge.
“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, which our programme has already demonstrated by partnering with Faithful+Gould under our National Decarbonisation Consultancy Services Contract.”
