The leaders in public sector energy security

21 Degrees is a forward-thinking and reliable partner dedicated to improving the built environment and the planet. We combine unrivalled industry expertise with a comprehensive understanding of technologies to deliver energy-efficient solutions for public sector clients, including local councils, social housing providers, educational institutions, medical facilities, and more. 

Your trusted partner for bespoke energy solutions

At 21 Degrees, we understand the unique challenges and objectives of public sector organisations. Our personality blends expertise with approachability, making us both an advisor and an inspiring guide in the journey towards energy efficiency. We take pride in our in-depth understanding and knowledge of the field, ensuring meticulous detail and accuracy in all our recommendations. 

We take a full-circle approach, from system design and product supply right through to implementation. Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, we design energy systems tailored to each building’s specific energy needs and layout. This bespoke service ensures cost savings, clean energy solutions, and customer satisfaction. 

Education

St Peter’s York demonstrated its commitment to its Green Flag school status with the installation of a 50 solar panel array in November 2021.

Social housing

21 Degrees supplied and commissioned the MVHR systems for the project, as well as supplying GBS78 triple glazed timber windows and doors.

Councils

Portsmouth City Council continue to lead the way in rolling out solar energy across their property portfolio with high energy demands in their care facilities.

Delivering a more efficient public sector

Meeting net zero targets

Councils and local authorities have a responsibility to meet their Net Zero targets, and solar panels and heat pumps are crucial technologies in achieving this. By installing these systems, you can significantly reduce your carbon emissions and footprints.

Reducing energy costs

Installing solar panels generates emission-free renewable energy, allowing you to save on rising electricity prices and rely on solar energy to power your buildings. Heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to traditional heating systems, further reducing operational costs.

Minimal disruption to services

Your services are important, and we appreciate that. We’ll always ensure that there is the lowest disruption possible to your school, hospital, or housing and our skilled engineers will keep you informed of actions and timescales.

Commitment to sustainability

By embracing renewable energy, councils can demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainability for residents, tenants, and regulatory bodies. This helps build trust and enhances your organisation's reputation.

Energy security and independance

Generating your clean energy reduces reliance on the national grid and fluctuating energy prices, providing greater energy security for your buildings.

Improving building performance

Generating your clean energy reduces reliance on the national grid and fluctuating energy prices, providing greater energy security for your buildings.

Harnessing the power of the sun

Solar PV systems for public sector buildings

The often-underused expansive rooftops of council offices, schools, social housing, and other public sector properties present a significant opportunity for solar photovoltaic (PV) installations. Solar panels generate clean, renewable electricity, directly contributing to your sustainability goals. Furthermore, integrating solar PV into public infrastructure can enhance energy resilience by reducing reliance on traditional grid sources and providing a tangible demonstration of environmental leadership to the community. 

  • Installation on all roof types (pitched and flat) and ground-mounted systems. 
  • Supply of high-quality, certified solar PV panels. 
  • Expertise in integrating solar battery storage systems to maximise self-consumption. 
  • Solutions for a range of public sector buildings, including council offices, social housing, schools, and leisure centres. 
  • Comprehensive service covering design, installation, testing, commissioning, and maintenance.

Sustainable heating and cooling systems

Energy-efficient heat pump technology for public buildings

For the public sector, heat pumps represent a strategic investment in sustainable infrastructure. By deploying these highly efficient and low-carbon heating and cooling systems in public buildings, schools, and hospitals, governments can significantly reduce their operational energy costs and contribute to national carbon reduction targets. The ability of heat pumps to transfer heat from ambient sources, such as air, ground, or water, provides a reliable and environmentally responsible solution for maintaining comfortable indoor environments in public facilities. 

  • Air source heat pumps. 
  • Ground source heat pumps. 
  • Expert system design tailored to the specific needs of public sector buildings. 
  • Integration with existing heating and cooling infrastructure. 
  • Focus on maximising energy efficiency and reducing operational costs.
