answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2014 answer text <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> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 11/09/2014 16:19:09 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
