The Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC) in Nottingham is having several windows replaced as part of a drive to get to net zero, which will save the hospital around \u00a35m upon completion<\/h2>\n

Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC)\u00a0 is the latest hospital to benefit from net-zero refurbishments, as Willmott Dixon has been brought on to deliver the next phase of a 15-year programme to decarbonise Nottingham hospitals.<\/p>\n

Led by Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS Trust and E.ON<\/a>, the works will help the hospital\u00a0reduce carbon emissions by 45% by 2030, as well as save\u00a0an estimated \u00a35m per year in energy costs.<\/p>\n

More than two miles of windows have already been replaced<\/h3>\n

The existing windows at QMC date back to the hospital’s opening in 1977. They are being replaced with modern frames made from 80% recycled aluminium and will improve airtighteness, heat retention and patient comfort with the new double glazing panes.<\/p>\n

The new windows will cover an area of over 18,000 square metres. They will be installed in all four of the hospital’s main blocks. The project is being carried out while the hospital remains fully operational.<\/p>\n

An important phase in bringing Nottingham hospitals to net zero<\/h3>\n

Nick Gibb, deputy managing director at Willmott Dixon, said: \u201cWorking alongside E.ON, this window refit initiative is part of a long-term proactive approach to tackle the climate crisis<\/a>, something which hugely benefits NUH Trust in the form of cost savings and creating a better environment for patients and staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cA key part of this project was about ensuring QMC can care for its patients as normal, and we are proud to have been recognised as sustainability experts within the healthcare sector who are able to overcome the challenges posed by working in a live hospital environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful to E.ON, NUH Trust and our delivery partners for their collaborative effort to achieve our shared goal of improving QMC\u2019s offering for patients and staff, while reducing the hospital\u2019s impact on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is being funded by the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, which is administered by Salix Finance on behalf of the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). It is estimated to complete in 2024.<\/p>\n
