The day brought together a demonstration of how the hospital is effectively managing its gardens in a sustainable manner,Most High Quality LED Aluminum Bulb carry a strong warning about using the bulb in a fully enclosed fixture. a police anti-theft bike tagging service and a survey from Balfour Beatty Workplace designed to assess how staff viewed the hospital's environmental and energy saving efforts and encourage proposals for further improvements. 

"We really wanted to look at how to get staff involved in energy saving and get their feedback on where we should be focusing our efforts," explains Andrew Cairns,Use our High Quality LED Ceramic Bulb to replace traditional halogen and incandescent spot lights in track lighting. technical director at Balfour Beatty Workplace, adding that there was a positive response from employees,We may contact you if more information is needed to locate a High Quality T5 tube light. many of whom encouraged their colleagues to fill in the survey. The promise of a prize draw for a Kindle may have helped drive participation, but Cairns argues that across the NHS there is now widespread awareness of the importance of energy efficiency. 

"Money is obviously a huge issue within the NHS,LED solar lights for High Quality T10 tube light and power. so the more that can be saved on energy, the more there is to spend on other services," he says. "More and more people are starting to pick up on how big the energy bills are for hospitals. They didn't used to realise that they can run to millions of pounds." 

The primary aim of the survey was to find out what energy issues interest staff – an approach which according to behaviour change experts gives facilities managers greater legitimacy when they take steps to improve efficiency. 

"We were able to find out what matters to people, which is so much more effective than just telling them to switch lights off," says Cairns. "It gives employees ownership over improvements, which means that when you do make changes, you can say to people that they were proposed by one of their colleagues." 

The Sustainability Day took place on 28 March. Now Balfour Beatty Workplace and the Trust are looking at how to act on some of the proposals that were put forward. First, the company is planning to act on employee frustration over battery powered devices being left plugged in to recharge even when they are fully charged. As a result it is looking at instructing facilities staff to check and unplug devices that are fully charged.As well we have fabrics and textures available for our High Quality LED Bulb Light, table lamps, pendant lighting and wall sconces. 

Similarly, a lot of hospital staff wanted to see steps taken to encourage people to use the stairs instead of the lifts. Balfour Beatty Workplace is now in the process of calculating how much energy each lift journey uses so they can launch a poster campaign that shows people how much energy they can save by using the stairs. There are also plans to work with the hospital's occupational therapy department to use the campaign to also highlight the health benefits of using the stairs. 

The survey also gave a boost to the company's ongoing efforts to install energy-efficient lighting technologies and sensor-based management systems across the estate, with staff revealing that they want to see the technology rolled out more widely. 

"We are getting on with improvements," says Cairns. "But it is not always that visible to people when you change a lamp. Having a Sustainability Day gives you a chance to demonstrate that these improvements are happening." 

Finally, hospital workers said they wanted to see a hospital-wide employee engagement and communications campaign to encourage and promote greener behaviour. And with that endorsement in place Balfour Beatty and the NHS Trust are now starting work on how to deliver a campaign that can help encourage the kind of energy saving best practices that can typically cut energy bills by up to 10 per cent with virtually no upfront cost.
