Public buildings | Shropshire Council

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 (photovoltaics 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
Ludlow Library - LED lighting and smart controls
Quarry swimming pool lighting
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 - (Shrewsbury) solar panels

For more information on SEPuBu, please see our sustainable energy in public buildings page.

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