69. Initiated Meter Improvement
Programme
Journey to Date
In order to develop improved metered data & utility supplier data and integration
with the new National Estates Information System (NEIS) and path towards
achieving ISO 50001
Integrated water conservation &
waste reduction programmes
into Energy Team works
Developed Enhanced Guidance in the areas of Energy Efficiency, Carbon
Reduction, Waste Prevention and Water Conservation, through the HSE’s Green
Healthcare Programme including an online Healthcare Sustainability
Assessment tool which has been developed for use by all medium and smaller
users (outside of the top 170 SEU).
Independent assessment of
compliance with legal energy
audit obligations set out in SI
426
Completed a compliance assessment under Part 3 of the Statutory Instrument
SI426 of 2014 (European Union (Energy Efficiency) Regulations 2014).
This independent assessment was completed in 2021 and confirmed that the
energy activities, audits and energy performance improvement activities carried
out by the HSE, satisfy the requirements of Annex VI of Directive 2012/27/EU on
energy efficiency.
Engaged an approved external
provider as an Obligated Party
for HSE to avail of EEOS scheme
Places an obligation on Energy Providers to provide services to end users to assist
in reducing the amount of energy that are being provided to them.
The approved external provider are assisting the HSE in developing a culture of
energy efficiency through behavioural change, implementing best practice
principles on an on-going basis and identification of energy savings opportunities.
