Winner of the 2011 ManagEnergy Local Energy Action Award Putting our energy into reducing yours RE:FIT is the Mayor of London’s award-winning scheme which provides a commercial model for public sector organisations wishing to achieve substantial financial cost savings, improve the energy performance of their buildings and reduce their CO2 footprint.
Available to all public sector organisations in the UK, the RE:FIT Framework streamlines the procurement process for energy services by providing pre-negotiated, EU-regulation-compliant contracts that can be used with a group of 13 pre-qualified Energy Service Companies (ESCos).

Photograph: Sarah Lee for the Guardian In November 2012 the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) announced it would fund a nationwide rollout of RE:FIT, Boris Johnson's programme to improve energy efficiency in the public sector. The scheme works by helping public organisations retrofit their buildings with energy-saving technology that did not exist when they were first built such as combined heat and power, photovoltaic solar panels, low-energy lighting and more efficient boilers.
The mayor's programme, first launched in 2008, was revised earlier this month to incorporate the lessons learned from the work carried out so far. The changes include making the scheme more flexible and simpler, as well as extending the range of funding options available. David Rees is head of local government services at PA Consulting.

City Hall Carbon Emissions Session January 2014: The London Assembly’s Environment Committee is to hold an oral evidence session next week (30 January) on the Mayor’s carbon targets.
A paper sets out that the evidence session forms part of an “investigation” into the delivery of the carbon targets, which will take place over February and March 2014. At the evidence session – which is open to the public – the Committee will meet with Mayoral Advisors and GLA officers in the environment and the property portfolios, as well as external guests from the energy sector, local government and other external stakeholders to discuss targets to improve energy efficiency in homes, targets to increase decentralised and low-carbon energy supply, and general carbon reduction targets and strategy. The targets are set out in the Mayor’s 2011 Climate Change Mitigation and Energy Strategy and include: London Home Energy Efficiency programme “significantly delayed” Continue reading… REFIT official. RE:FIT – Putting our energy into reducing yours. What is RE:FIT?
The Mayor of London is committed to London becoming a world leading low carbon capital city with an ambitious target of cutting carbon emissions by 60% by 2025. Public buildings are a significant contributor to London’s carbon emissions, contributing as much as 10% to its total footprint. The wider economic and austerity environment also means that there is a growing need to make existing buildings work harder, rather than replacing them with new ones.
RE:FIT London exp. 111 public buildings. Hundreds of public buildings across London – including schools, libraries, NHS Hospitals and courts –are to benefit from the Mayor of London’s programme to save costs and reduce energy bills by retrofitting them with energy conservation measures.
Energy conservation measures are already complete or near completion in 111 public buildings in London. The pipeline shows that 400 buildings could benefit from the Mayor’s award-winning RE:FIT programme, saving the public purse in the region of £7 million each year by guaranteeing reduced energy bills with simple measures, including improved lighting and efficient heating controls as well as more intensive improvements such as on site energy generation. This represents more than £40million of investment into the buildings using RE:FIT. Based on previous international studies, it is estimated that energy efficiency activity at this scale could represent the creation of up to 700 jobs*.
