The Royal Free Charity (RFC) in conjunction with our RFLPS catering colleagues is supporting the Pears building in trialling a guest evening meal delivery service from 5th September to December 2022.
This would help us address some of the concerns raised from our guest feedback forms around the lack of food services in the building. The guest will be able to order meals from reception and our RFLPS catering colleagues will make the deliveries directly to their rooms. We are excited to see the wonderful and healthy food from RFLPS hospital catering team being on offer to our guests.
In light of the rising utilities costs, RFLPS, UCL and RFC staffs have been asked to find sustainable ways to conserve energy around the building. Some of the initiatives we have taken to reduce the energy costs are practical steps such as dimming the lights in the reception and atrium areas, switching off lights, air conditioning units and computers in unoccupied offices, switching off big appliances such as fridges and washing machines when not in use. We are also reviewing run times on outside lights around the building and monitoring the run time on air handling units inside the building’s plant rooms. We are encouraging our staff to be creative and to come up with ideas that would help the Pears building to be even more energy efficient. Every little step matters!
