title: Lighter load should aid Pilgrim's progress.
abstract: A large NHS acute hospital in Boston, Lincolnshire expects to achieve a 51% reduction in its annual carbon emissions, and annual financial savings of at least pound 210,000 on an ongoing basis, with the potential to save considerably more in the future via a continuous improvement programme, following a complete overhaul of an ageing boiler house to form a new, "state-of-the-art" energy centre. As HEJ editor Jonathan Baillie reports, the new facility, designed and built, and now operated by, Cofely, is the central element of a new energy-saving programme under which the United Lincolnshire Hospitals (ULH) NHS Trust aims to reduce carbon emissions across all its hospital sites by 30% over the next five years.
