### Lot Information

COPFS ECRO Decarbonisation Works (Phases 1 and 2)

Phase 1 of the programme will consist of refurbishing the windows and installing secondary glazing. In conjunction, the Contractor will also perform Fabric Insulation improvements. Installation of the measures listed above will reduce the heat-loss from the building by approximately 67%. Once all glazing and insulation measures have been completed this would allow the current natural gas fuelled heating system to be replaced with an electrical VRF heating system, which will form Phase 2 of the programme. The compatibility of a VRF system will be investigated in further detail via feasibility study with the appointed SCAPE Contractor, Morgan Sindall. PV Panels will also be considered in the final scope of work against the NEC4 contract, dependant on budget availability and space on the ECRO roof.. GBP 9,080,000 awarded from the Scottish Central Government Energy Efficiency Grant Scheme 2021-2026

Options: Option to extend the agreement in the event that the programme slips.
