SEPuBu (Sustainable Energy in Public Buildings) showcases the installation of low-carbon technologies and energy efficiency measures in a number of public buildings across local authority areas in the Marches region. SEPuBu is a retrofit programme installing innovative interventions such as solar PV (photo-voltaic’s to generate electricity from the sun), energy efficient LED luminaries and air source heat pumps (ASHP). SEPuBu provides an excellent opportunity to establish a rolling programme of improvements, thereby reducing both the running costs and the carbon footprint of public buildings.

Shropshire Council public buildings benefitting from this scheme include the following:

• Bishops Castle Leisure Centre - LED lighting and smart controls
• Bridgnorth Library - LED lighting retrofit
• Greenacres Farm - (Near Baschurch) ground mounted solar PV
• Ludlow Assembly Rooms Refurbishment | Property Services Group (PSG)
• Ludlow Library - LED lighting and smart controls
• Quarry swimming pool lighting | Property Services Group (PSG)
• Severn Valley Country Park - Air source heat pump and LED lighting
• Shrewsbury Library - LED lighting and smart controls
• Shrewsbury Market Hall - LED lighting and smart controls
• Shropshire Archives - (Shrewsbury) LED lighting
• Theatre Severn - (Shrewsbury) LED lighting
• Theatre Severn LED Lighting | Property Services Group (PSG)

The full list of projects is available on the Herefordshire Council website.

Further to this, as part of an ongoing Carbon Reduction Programme and climate change action commitments, Shropshire Council has also completed the following works:

In addition to this, we have in the pipeline a number of retrofit upgrades to leisure centres as well as new builds that will meet exceptional energy efficiency standards.
