The works comprise overcladding using our insulated aluminium rainscreen and high-performance integrated windows as part of a range of energy efficiency and carbon saving measures in collaboration with Veolia, a leader in resource and energy management solutions.

Funding for the project was secured through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) for affordable, low-carbon heating and energy efficiency upgrades across the public sector.

• Building life extended by more than 60 years
• Heating energy consumption reduced by 70%
• Operational carbon emissions reduced by 70%
• Contemporary quality building – “looks like a new hospital”
• Capital payback in c.10 years from savings in heating energy alone
• Close collaboration ensured the project progressed whilst the building was fully occupied with minimal disruption to patients and staff.

“This funding will deliver improvements to Eastbourne DGH that will mean a significant reduction in the use of energy across the site which will be a key part of our aim to provide sustainable healthcare.”
