Energy Innovation Emporium Energy Efficiency/Demand Side Session Chair: Dr Edward Owens, ETP Energy Utilisation in Buildings Theme Coordinator Wednesday 31st May 2017 TIC, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow

Energy Efficiency/Demand Side Session Aims Present Present research & innovation challenges in light of the draft Scottish Energy Strategy. (SEEP) Discuss Discuss innovation and RD&D required to support affordable, low carbon energy provision in the built environment Discuss avenues of cross-sectoral cooperation to support how to accommodate changing energy practices associated for instance with EV’s, electrification of heat, micro-generation and storage Outcomes Produce a summary of suggestions for innovation and RD&D as an output from the session. Take these discussions further in follow-on Energy Utilisation in Buildings workshop to identify collaborative projects and activities.

Some of the big Challenges / Opportunities Affordability Fuel Poverty Progressive Energy Tariffs and Business Models Energy efficiency and demand reduction. Security of Supply Living with Intermittent Generation Flexible Demand (EVs, IOT, storage heaters) Distributed energy storage Healthy Environment Low energy or low carbon? Embedded Generation and Community Ownership Heath and Wellbeing

Exploring some key issues Energy Efficiency Changing demand side Micro-generation & Storage Communications and Control Building regulations Modelling Skilling the sector Community & Affordability

Energy Efficiency What next for the existing stock after the collapse in installed measures under the ECO and the demise of the Green Deal How does proposed LHEES interact with Supplier Obligation schemes Which benefits be measured? – Carbon, Energy, Health 2032 target of 6% reduction in residential demand - Is this adequate Does this say something about the modelling approaches & assumptions that have been used to devise the strategy

Changing Demand side Rise of the Electric Vehicle Electrification of Heat DELTA, (2016), Electrification of Heat and the Impact on the Scottish Electricity System

Microgen & Storage Falling costs Increasing efficiency

Control How might these new systems be controlled? What communication platforms are required? What information about the local building environment needs to be sensed? What information about the external environment is required? What new markets, revenue streams and business models might emerge over the same time period as these energy system changes are taking place How should Government act in developing these new markets

Control - Ruggedised Project Information and communications technologies are rapidly decreasing in cost and becoming ubiquitous. Smart grids, smart energy systems, micro-grids, smart meters, IoT, big data

Building Regulations What should the purpose of the Building Regulations be What might the new build house of the future look like - Should LHEES play a local role How many vectors do we include – heat, power, transport, water What technologies do we want to adopt into built environment supply chains

Modelling How do we develop a modelling framework for new technologies and materials? is SAP Appendix Q fit for purpose? How do we build models that can take advantage of onset of big data will this close the performance gap will this allow us to start considering post occupancy regulation schemes How do we capture stochastic and behavioural aspects of building energy use can we develop emulators that capture this uncertainty can these be used to improve the reliability of policy models (TIMES) What will the relationship be between Europe and Scotland post-Brexit (EPBD) How can we use modelling to better capture costs, benefits and as built performance of retrofit programs

Skilling the sector ”Skills” was mentioned 12 times in the Scottish Energy Strategy and 11 times in the Heat, EE & DH consultation Chiefly it was surrounding building innovation capacity (both within the science and engineering base and within Local Authorities) and transfer of skills from oil and gas Do we have the capacity to deliver these projects – do we have a skills shortage - should school and college courses reflect the requirements of this significant infrastructural transition

Community and affordability How can the transition and LHEES creation support and be supported by community owned local energy schemes In particular, how can these schemes be enlarged and expanded to include urban centres How can we make sure that the transition does not result in increased costs for consumers

Smart Fintry Project A community project pioneering a new way of trading and charging for electricity Householders and businesses buy their electricity directly from nearby renewable energy generators, using the existing electricity grid infrastructure. The aim is to reduce both electricity costs and carbon impacts.

Key Issues to discuss What should the relationship between LHEES and National Standards be? How do we create the infrastructure to accommodate new provision and uses of energy (e.g. EV’s, micro-generation, storage) What do markets need to look like in order to encourage flexible demand
