Healthcare Sector Grant Funding Available

As healthcare facilities across the UK face growing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, Phase 4 of the UK Government’s Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) offers a great opportunity to secure grant funding for decarbonising heating networks and improving energy efficiency. The scheme, available to public sector organisations (including within the healthcare sector) in England and those with reserved functions in devolved administrations, aims to support the installation of low-carbon heating systems, ensuring healthcare facilities can improve operational efficiency whilst reducing their carbon footprint.

How Cooltherm Can Support Your Healthcare Facility

Cooltherm’s high-efficiency heat pumps can help the healthcare sector not only meet decarbonisation goals but also secure grant funding by fulfilling the key criteria of the PSDS.

Key Benefits of Cooltherm Heat Pumps for Healthcare Facilities

1. Eligibility for Funding: Under the PSDS, projects must propose the replacement of natural gas-based heating systems, typically over 10 years old, with low-carbon alternatives like heat pumps. Cooltherm heat pumps offer an ideal solution, as they are low-carbon heating alternatives, helping facilities qualify for grant funding
2. High-Efficiency Heat Pumps: Cooltherm provides scalable heat pump systems designed to handle the significant heating demands of hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities. By integrating our technology, you can reduce the energy consumption and carbon emissions of said facilities
3. Whole Building Approach: PSDS Phase 4 requires applicants to consider the entire building’s energy efficiency when proposing heating system upgrades. Cooltherm’s heat pumps not only reduce carbon emissions but also contribute to improving the overall energy profile of your healthcare facility
4. Seamless Integration: Our heat pump systems are designed for seamless integration into existing infrastructure, minimising disruption to day-to-day healthcare operations. This means your facility can continue to serve patients efficiently while undergoing critical upgrades to its heating systems.

Why Act Now?

With funding for PSDS Phase 4 now available and applications opening in mid-October 2024, now is the time to take action on any ongoing healthcare projects. Applications are assessed not on a first-come, first-served basis, but by the impact your project can make – particularly in terms of carbon savings. Cooltherm’s heat pump solutions are capable of meeting and exceeding these standards, providing a long-term solution for decarbonising healthcare facilities across the UK.
