St George’s, University of London Case Study:
St George’s, University of London, used £947,000 interest-free Salix funding and £646,344 of their own internal funding to replace their existing, inefficient absorption chillers. In addition, the University also installed a new Building Management System to serve and control the new system.
These projects are estimated to save the University £175,471 and over 636 tonnes of carbon* every year.
Derek Bannister, Director of Estates and Facilities, St George’s, University of London said:
“Our chiller replacement works have enabled St George's, University of London to replace its obsolete and inefficient chiller plant, with highly efficient electric air-cooled chillers.
"This has improved the overall resilience across our buildings and provided a platform to carry out future energy efficient improvements to our infrastructure to support our Estates Master Plan and Carbon Management Plan. The funding and assistance provided by Salix Finance has been vital in the delivery of these works and our future aims.”
