Wiltshire Council very poor on energy efficiency

3.33.00pm GMT Tue 16th Feb 2010

Under the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive public buildings have to display energy efficiency certificates. These give a rating on how well designed the building is - a low rating means the building is wasting heat and energy.

Here are the Display Energy Certificate ratings for Wiltshire Council buildings. Most of WC's buildings perform poorly. None of them have the top 'A' grade, and ony 6 score a 'B'. County Hall itself gets a disastrous 'D' grading. The distribution is heavily skewed towards the 'bad' end of the spectrum. What this means in practice is that a lot of money is being wasted by the council and a lot of unnecessary pollution is being emitted by council buildings.

These ratings are from the initial assessment carried out in October 2008. WC is in the process of renewing the certificates as they are an annual requirement. An updated list should be available shortly.
