Full article: Livingstone launches green office makeover plan (3-Sept-07)

Ken Livingstone has announced that up to 100 buildings in London will undergo energy-efficiency improvements. Buildings covered will include offices, operational transport, fire stations and police stations.

It is thought that once the work is complete the buildings will save up to 50,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year and over £1 million through lower energy bills.

London’s offices currently produce 15m tonnes of CO2 per year and account for 33% of total emissions for the capital. It is hoped that after the work is complete the buildings will save up to 50,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year and more than £1m through lower energy bills.

London recently signed the Clinton Climate Initiative along with 16 other cities including New York and Tokyo, and is the first to take action to tackle carbon emissions.
