  •   A desktop assessment and ‘gap analysis’ of energy/carbon savings projects identified to-date
  •   A financial assessment of the potential ‘value-at-stake’ and potential return on investment from the implementation of a programme of energy savings projects across the UK estate

The results of the work were presented to the BBC’s Environment Committee, chaired by the Chief Operating Officer.
