<p>DFID has and is reducing spend on gas through various measures including the installation of an insulating green roof and a biomass boiler at our office in Scotland. We are also currently repairing the external fabric of the building to limit heat loss. We have reduced electricity through decreasing the number of IT servers, printers and also by using PC and laptop models which use 50% less electricity.</p><p>A reduction in plant operation times and better 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; as part of this we are also replacing elements of the heating and lighting systems with more modern, energy-efficient alternatives.</p><p>In 2012-13 DFID reported a reduction of 26% in carbon emissions against the baseline year which resulted in savings of over £300 000 in energy costs. This has saved £300,000 this year.</p>
