Mr Patsy McGlone (Mid Ulster): To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the number of buildings his Department owns that have renewable energy systems installed, including (i) the name of the building; and (ii) the percentage this is of all buildings owned by his Department.
Minister for Infrastructure: A DfI Accommodation Group has been established and energy management is a standing item on the agenda. The group actively looks at ways to reduce our carbon footprint however not all buildings are currently suited to the introduction of renewable energy.
My Department has installed renewable energy schemes in the following buildings which it owns:
| Lisburn Driver Vehicle Agency (DVA) Test Centre Lisburn |
| Omagh DVA Test Centre |
| Downpatrick DVA Test Centre |
| Hydebank DVA Test Centre |
| Hydebank House DVA Headquarters |
| Roads Laboratory – Carn Roads Depot |
| Operations & Maintenance Building – Carn Roads Depot |
The percentage of buildings owned by the Department with renewable energy sources is 4%.
