First carbon neutral training accommodation buildings in Scotland
The MOD’s award-winning Net-Zero Carbon Accommodation Programme (NetCAP) has reached another key milestone by delivering the first NetCAP buildings on the UK Defence Training Estate (DTE) in Scotland.
The first of many NetCAP buildings to be completed at Greenfield Camp in Garelochhead will bring high-quality, versatile and sustainable accommodation to support service personnel as they train for operations worldwide.
The buildings were delivered by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation working with industry partner Landmarc Support Services (Landmarc) and off-site construction specialist Reds10. The accommodation was designed and constructed in Reds10’s East Yorkshire factory before being transported to site.
The first phase of delivery was completed this month, with 51 units combined on site to make up three double-storey accommodation blocks that provide 315 bedspaces. The blocks replace several Nissen huts which were built around 1944 to house troops prior to deployment during WW2, and were retained for training accommodation ever since. The fourth and final accommodation block will be completed by early 2024.

I liked how ben wallace said , 'russia hasnt got a free and fair press like we have in the uk', then a week later banned RT from broadcasting , but still lets al jazeera ? its a mad old world isnt it

Solar panels eont work if its warmer than 65oc Heatpumps breakdown just above zero temp , But will be good to see how they hold up in extreme weather,.

My understanding is that of zero people.
But you forgot to tell people solar power panels can not get recycled ....and dont tell me they can... i seen them been buried and its impossible to have net zero carbon .
i see you have someone here deleting negative comments like the one ip posted about depleted uranium
Can you imagine any serious army in the world doing this? Just goes to prove that the British Army is not to be taken seriously. Putin and Xi would laugh their socks off if they knew
Carbon Neutral? What a joke. Who gives a *.
Carbon is a solid, an element. It isn't something you can get rid of and I struggle to imagine how it could be emitted either, except as a sort of thick smoke. Which you would probably notice. Methinks the MoD has fallen for the scam.
Are they using carbon neutral ammunition on the ranges or are they still just blowing all sorts of shit into the sky?
How... Everything is basically made of carbon.

Report for misinformation
net zero ,the big con
As a side note, good luck with this expensive idiocy at this training accommodation, a facility were the majority of occupants are temporary. I do hope you have an efficient fossil fuel based backup system to maintain the premises, as this is paid for by tax payer's money and it would be irresponsible not to.
Net zero? My arse.
MOD have lost the plot.
