2. Heat Innovation - Changing the way we think about delivering heat Rob Boyer, Associate Director Infrastructure and Sustainability Heat and Water 2016

3. ABOUT AECOM 85K+ Over 85,000 dedicated professionals globally 400+ Over 400 offices around the world 150+ Serving clients in more than 150 countries $19.0bn Annual revenue (2015 data) AECOM are a professional and technical services firm, positioned to design, build, finance and operate infrastructure assets around the world for public and private sector clients”

4. ABOUT AECOM Changing the way we think about heat –Sustainability; 90 staff throughout the UK

5. Understand the brief - Communication Changing the way we think about heat Image sourced from Tamingdata.com

6. What do our Clients want? Operational Involvement Financial Involvement Short termLong term Changing the way we think about heat –Be aware of Client’s requirements ad drivers Economic Environmental Social

7. What do the Customers want? Changing the way we think about heat Reliable energy for a comparable and predictable price

8. Assess Performance –What to do Identify technical and economical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Measure KPIs are relevant stages of the project –Benefits Better understanding of project performance Ability to take correctional action Ability to test KPI sensitivity on a project –Barriers Changing view from practical completion to whole life cycle Additional time to develop and asses KPIs. Does it have value? Changing the way we think about heat

9. Assess Performance – Engagement Changing the way we think about heat

10. Lean Design –What to do Apply suitable thermal diversity Consider coincidental loads Challenge design margins –Benefits Reduced losses particularly corridor overheating Reduced plant costs; capital plant, operation and space –Barriers Lack of confidence in non-UK diversity standards Often goes against accepted design values and principles Changing the way we think about heat

11. Lean Design – Appropriate Standards Changing the way we think about heat

12. System Efficiency over Element Efficiency –What to do Assess total energy in against total energy bought Consider reducing elements which are not normally measured i.e length of small bore pipework Review thermal temperature strategies; delta Ts, reduced temperatures –Benefits Better understood system efficiency Potential to reduce operational costs –Barriers Efficiency solutions may impact building design Low temperature heating systems not as widely accepted Residual conflict of requirements in standards Changing the way we think about heat

13. System Efficiency over Element Efficiency – Building Changing the way we think about heat

14. System Efficiency over Element Efficiency - System Changing the way we think about heat

15. Measure and Monitor –What to do Install MID compliant heat metering at each point of sale Install additional meters to enable analysis to be undertaken Use the information generated –Benefits Able to identify actual performance Potential to resolve issues based on information Information may be used to improve learning for following projects –Barriers Cost of metering Lack of perceived value in data Sensitivity of sharing information Changing the way we think about heat

16. Take Away –Engineer a business –Design Lean - develop systems that will be used –Look at the whole, not at the parts –Energy doesn’t stop at a heat generator. Where does it go? If in doubt use the Heat Networks: Code of Practice for the UK Changing the way we think about heat
