Redudng our carbon footprint
NHS Fife is committed to reducing carbon emissions. The new wing has been designed with this in mind and reflects our aims to be a sustainable, efficient and low-carbon organisation.
The energy centre, which has been built alongside the new wing, will provide electricity and water to the building. Its design ensures that it produces 50 per cent less carbon than traditional facilities.
A number of projects are ongoing across the organisation to ensure that we reduce waste and increase efficiency.
