The temperature in council buildings will be turned down as energy costs continue to heat up.
Members of the economy and resources committee agreed to 13 energy saving measures during Monday’s meeting as the local authority’s energy bills are set to jump from £6.4 million to £9.7 million.
The steps include reducing the heating season by three months from October 1 to March 31 and adjusting heating systems with a set point of 18 degrees Celsius instead of 21 in schools, leisure centres, libraries, offices and the rest of the estate.
