<strong>The</strong> Trust is working with local businesses <strong>and</strong> the Borough Council in Swindon to review the<br />

installation of CHP plants on site. This would if successfully built, help increase the Trust’s energy<br />

security with on site generation <strong>and</strong> would allow the Trust to use renewable energy sources.<br />

From 2007 to the present the occupied floor area at the <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> has remained<br />

nominally static. Wards <strong>and</strong> other areas have been closed for short periods of time for redecoration<br />

or refurbishment only. In WCHS the occupied floor area has altered significantly over the same<br />

period. Graph 5 shows total energy consumption in kwH/occupied floor space in m 2 for WCHS.<br />
