Resolution from Barbican Residents Consultation Committee (BRCC) 02.12.19 - Heating Initiatives

Minutes:

The Sub Committee considered a resolution from the Barbican Residents Consultation Committee (BRCC) meeting on 02.12.19 regarding energy saving initiatives.

 

Officers advised that the current supplier was contracted to provide fixed price energy for 12 months and that they had been involved in discussions with BRCC on this subject at the end of 2019.  Officers suggested further discussions with BRCC over the coming months including benchmarking the existing contract to allow BRCC to make an informed decision on whether to make alternative arrangements for energy supply.

 

RESOLVED –

 

1.      That it be noted that the Barbican Residential Committee supports the initiative of the BRCC’s Underfloor Heating Working Party (UHWP). 

2.      That it be noted that the Barbican Estate Office has been asked to work with the UHWP to investigate the feasibility and commercial implications of a separate supply contract for the Estate, when compared to a joint one with the City, and to pursue negotiations should these investigations prove positive.

 

3.      That Officer facilitate further discussions with BRCC over the coming months including benchmarking the existing contract to allow BRCC to make an informed decision on whether to make alternative arrangements for its energy supply.
