These alternative sustainable recommendations provided Oxfordshire County Council with a plan that was in line with their ambitious net zero 2030 target. “One of the key aspects that has really come out the work that LCMB have done is looking at the different buildings and implementing the heat decarbonisation plans. Having a detailed understanding for each individual building has helped us understand what the estate wide picture looks like.”
