| In
order to achieve this Accreditation, the SELB has been involved
in a review of its energy efficiency activities over a period
of 6 years. This has included efforts made in relation to
benchmarking its buildings and use of effective monitoring
and targeting procedures. The Board has also been involved
in raising awareness of energy matters through various programmes
in local schools both to staff and pupils.
Accepting the award, SELB Chief Executive, Helen McClenaghan
said:
“Receiving this Accreditation demonstrates the SELB’s
firm commitment to energy efficiency both by staff and to
the community we serve. Our board is totally committed to
improving the environment, as demonstrated by the fact that
all SELB schools use NIE’s wind generated electricity,
Eco Energy.
“The accreditation scheme will continue to help us to
measure our performance and indicate where further improvements
and savings can be made.”
Speaking at the award ceremony Dr Andy McCrea NIE’s
Energy Services Manager said:
“The SELB has shown a tremendous commitment to the environment.
They have taken very positive steps which will show real cost
savings, a significantly lower energy consumption and environmental
benefits.”
