CIPFA s services and advice have helped them extract best taxpayer value from public property more critical now than ever before. Property is a valuable public asset value must be carefully protected, and in some cases, to be realised through disposal, or through integration into risk-sharing joint ventures in regeneration, or arms-length bodies charged with management and improvement. A time of change Rationalisation of the public estate will follow from the Comprehensive Spending Review, and will be the theme for public asset management for at least the term of this parliament. The tools you use need to be efficient and trustworthy. As well as helping you manage your assets for less outlay, your partners must deliver absolute security and assurance. Trust is more crucial now than ever. Only one service provider can deliver an integrated, comprehensive service across asset management, including software, knowledge and expertise. Only one provides genuine compliance, and security as well as quality and value. Only one provider speaks the language of accountancy and property. Only one provider is part of CIPFA. Only one provider is CIPFA Property. e: chester@cipfa.org.uk t: CIPFA property 3

9 carbon management All public sector buildings are under intense scrutiny to ensure they are environmentally responsible. For organisations there is a greater emphasis on creating energy efficient buildings that in turn will mean reduced payments through the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme. There are many solutions that can contribute to carbon reduction and identifying those that will maximise your organisation s cost benefits are going to be vital. Recommendations on how to make savings and reductions typically range from physically remodelling space to changing working practices to installing energy efficient heating, lighting and IT solutions. Spending review The Government will introduce a new system of national property controls across the central civil and operational estate. In addition, the Government believes there could be substantial gains to be made from a more coordinated approach to property asset management in the public sector.
