A ROUTE TO ZERO CARBON for FE colleges

 INTRODUCTION  BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS  RECOMMENDATIONS  SUMMARY  WHAT WE ARE DOING NEXT AGENDA

INTRODUCTION  Arup commissioned early 2008 by LSC  First step along the way to zero carbon FE colleges  Provided research and recommendations

BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS What is a zero carbon college? Supply On-siteNear siteOff-site Demand Regulated energyOccupant energyEmbodied energy

BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS Emissions sources within colleges

BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS How do we get there?

BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS Minimising demand - modelling

BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS How much will it cost?

 Definition of boundary conditions  Current emissions sources within colleges  Set interim levels towards zero carbon  Improvement levels understood  Quantified the cost of the options SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS

 Increase scope of data collection  Annual funding linked to energy targets  Trajectory to zero carbon  Incentivise low carbon design  Prioritise demand minimisation  Allow off-site generation RECOMMENDATIONS How do we get there?

A unique opportunity to achieve real life reductions

Annual funding linked to energy targets - Colleges to achieve real-life carbon reductions - Emissions reductions in colleges with no current capital program

Zero carbon colleges by 2016

Trajectory to Zero Carbon Today Response to government targets regarding climate change - Provide clear targets for colleges and funding body Unregulated Regulated LSC Building Regs Homes Schools

Level 6 colleges provide best value carbon reductions

Incentivise low carbon design - Reduce emissions ahead of mandatory levels - Promote development of low emission colleges

Demand minimisation reduces strain on zero carbon capacity

Prioritise demand minimisation - LZC capability not unlimited

Allow off-site to make zero carbon possible in more colleges Change Image to lots of on-site turbines

Allow off-site generation - Increase proportion of colleges where zero carbon is possible - Increased cost efficiency

Allow off-site generation - Increase proportion of colleges where zero carbon is possible - Increased cost efficiency

 Provide understanding of the current situation  A unique opportunity to achieve real-life reductions  Zero carbon colleges by 2016  Level 6 colleges give maximum carbon savings  Demand minimisation reduces strain on zero carbon capacity  Allow off-site to make zero carbon possible in more colleges SUMMARY

WHAT WE ARE DOING NEXT  Zero carbon new-build design  Carbon reductions in existing buildings  Operational improvements  Energy procurement

Thank you. Any questions?
