Specialist healthcare developer, United Healthcare Developments (UHD) has installed 284Kw photovoltaic solar panels on eight of its medical centres in the UK.
The company has a policy of continually upgrading and reinvesting into its buildings and long-term its aim is to reduce carbon emissions across its entire portfolio.
David Brown, managing director, said: “We are fully committed to creating sustainable and futureproof buildings and in recent months have invested more than £500,000 into making our premises more energy efficient.
“We’ve had a terrific response from the doctors as the retrofitted schemes are now producing up to a third of the buildings’ electricity requirements, resulting in considerable cost savings.”
Microgeneration power is now a ‘built-in’ to all UHD’s developments and the company’s latest scheme in Oldham has achieved BREEAM’ Excellent’ status along with an impressive EPC ‘A’ Rating of 12.
