Our response

With regards to the buildings we occupy (City Hall's buildings and squares | London City Hall), the GLA's Facilities Management team has been able to provide you with the following:  

  1. Our lights are primary LED, there are very few areas without the LED lights such as Nelsons Column lighting at Trafalgar Square.
  2. The price range is between 32p to 56p kilowatt-hour for electricity.
  3. We do have ground source heat pump in the GLA head office.
  4. Already in place where possible to install.

In relation to the Greater London Land and Property portfolio (Land and development | London City Hall), no heat pumps or installation of heat pumps have been instructed but have been recommended for one building. Approximately, 80% of our lighting across the GLAP portfolio is LED.
