Decision details

Decarbonisation of heating system at Keynsham Civic Centre

Decision Maker: Executive Director - Sustainable Communities

Decision status: Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To replace the gas heating boiler at Keynsham Civic Centre with an air source heat pump, largely funded by a Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) grant.

Decision:

To approve the total capital of £270k, which includes a council match contribution of £24k

Alternative options considered:

Replacement of the gas boiler with the same type would not achieve the decarbonisation of the heating system, losing the carbon reduction benefit. It would not qualify for the PSDS grant, so the council would bear the full cost.
