A Roadmap to Net Zero - CEF

A Roadmap to Net Zero

The NHS 2040 net zero target places it at the forefront of decarbonising healthcare, making it the world’s first national health system to commit to become ‘carbon net zero’, backed by clear deliverables and milestones.

In response, the CEF has developed an in-depth guide to identifying, assessing and delivering commercially viable strategic energy solutions. The guide is intended to be used by Directors of Estates, Directors of Finance and their teams, as well as other senior Investment decision makers with responsibility for wider affairs within NHS trusts.

Its content and technical detail are a valuable source of information for designers, engineers and the technical personnel directly involved in the development and delivery of energy solutions.

Endorsed by Baroness Brown of Cambridge – present Chair of the Carbon Trust – and fully supported by The Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management (IHEEM) and Health Estates and Facilities Management Association (HEFMA), the content within this guide is CPD accredited with CPD points available.

The roadmap enables each NHS trust to plan its own pathway starting from today – making the planned and strategic investments in energy and building infrastructure required to help deliver a net zero NHS by 2040.
