<p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) is committed to meeting the Greener Government
Commitments and to reducing the energy use of its operations. As part of that commitment
the FCO continues to replace all obsolete light fittings and fittings that are affected
by major refurbishment projects with Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), provided a suitable
LED variant is available and it represents the best solution for the application.</p><p>Currently
the estimated proportion of LEDs within the FCO’s UK estate is:</p><p>Carlton Gardens
= 65%<br>Hanslope Park = 5%<br>King Charles Street = 20%<br>Lancaster House = 70%<br>Northgate
House = 13%<br>Old Admiralty Building = 4%</p><p>These figures will increase significantly
as more LEDs are installed in King Charles Street as part of the FCO’s UK Estate Reform
Project, due for completion in 2015. In addition, the FCO’s forward maintenance programme
continues to identify any additional areas where LEDs or improved lighting systems
can be introduced as more cost effective applications.</p><p>This response relates
to the FCO’s UK estate only. To provide answers on behalf of the FCO’s Diplomatic
Missions would incur a disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p>
