MoD in drive for energy effi ciency
● Contractors will be required to monitor energy consumption
The Ministry of Defence is stepping up the monitoring of energy use on its buildings in an attempt to drive down consumption and carbon emissions. The recently formed
Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) will require each of its four new regional prime contractors to open an energy management bureau to monitor energy consumption in each building as part of its Next Generation Estates Contracts programme. Sub-contractors will also be encouraged

survey all sites and buildings in their patch to identify any shortcomings in metering. They will then conduct annual surveys to identify changes that would reduce energy usage. Contractors will be asked to identify opportunities, and develop business cases, for improvements such as overhauling existing energy distribution networks, fi tting new insulation or heating and ventilation systems – and even disposal plans for energy ineffi cient buildings. David Olney, DIO
deputy chief executive, said: ‘Providing energy- effi cient facilities is key in maintaining our
Armed Forces’ operational capability. Our future estate contracts provide the perfect opportunity to put energy effi ciency at the heart of our estate management and decision-making.’
