answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Since 2010/11 the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has reduced its energy emissions by approximately 35%. This has been achieved through the reduction in the size of its estate and various energy efficiency measures. During the same period electricity prices have risen by approximately 33% and gas by 47%. However, the reduction in usage has meant that total CPS energy costs have reduced by 3% over this period. More details about CPS energy costs can be found on page 20 of its 2013-14 Annual Report and Accounts which is available online at:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/339509/41097_HC_6_CPS_Print_Ready.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/339509/41097_HC_6_CPS_Print_Ready.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is committed working towards meeting the Greening Government Commitment targets which started on 1 April 2011 with a baseline period of 2009-10. The SFO is now ahead of all of its targets including those relating to energy costs. This is principally due to a move from its old premises on two sites to a single building on Cockspur Street.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2014 answer text <p>The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills is committed to reducing energy usage in order to realise cost savings and achieve the Greening Government Commitments (GGC) target of 25% carbon reduction by 2014/15.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has implemented a number of initiatives to reduce the estate’s energy consumption:</p><p> </p><p>a) Estate Rationalisation has maximised space utilisation and improved the usability and capacity of core buildings. In central London the Department has achieved significant energy savings by reducing from eight buildings to one. This has resulted in an estimated £10.7 million in property savings per annum for the period 2012-2021 including significantly reduced energy costs.</p><p> </p><p>b) A partial building shutdown is observed over each Christmas break at 1 Victoria Street. Staff are located in a discrete area of the HQ building between Christmas and New Year, to minimise heating and lighting energy consumption.</p><p> </p><p>c) The Department operates a temperature ‘deadband’ where no heating or cooling operates, The ‘deadband’ stops conflict between heating and cooling systems whilst maintaining a comfortable working environment.</p><p> </p><p>d) The Department’s arms-length bodies are also fully committed to reducing energy consumption and associated costs. At Companies House a biomass boiler has been installed. The 500KW wood pellet boiler has replaced 2.4MW gas boilers and now provides 88% of heating to the building and this technology will save £30,000 annually.</p> answering member constituency East Dunbartonshire answering member printed Jo Swinson question first answered 10/09/2014 13:50:27 answering member 1513 label Biography information for Jo Swinson
