<p> </p><p>The Department for International Development is reducing expenditure on
gas through various measures including the installation of a green roof and biomass
boiler at our office in Scotland; we have also improved the external fabric of the
building reducing heat loss. We have reduced electricity use through reducing the
number of IT servers, printers and by upgrading all laptops and PCs to models which
use at least 50% less electricity. A reduction in plant operation times and wider
temperature control at both UK sites has resulted in significant savings in both gas
and electricity. In London we have recently moved to a new smaller office which will
save 25% in energy usage; we also incorporated energy saving mechanisms as part of
the refurbishment.</p><p> </p>
