7. 7 Utilities team Role & Responsibilities  Gather utility market information  Purchasing recommendation  Monitoring & Targeting  Design & maintain automatic metering  Report utility consumption across site  Set Targeting

8. 8 Utilities team Role & Responsibilities  Advise on Energy and CO 2 reduction  Conduct buildings energy audit  Manage projects  Report carbon emissions (EUETS, CRC)  Energy advice on buildings  Promote Energy Awareness University

9. 9 What is it EU ETS  Large EU emitters to monitor and report annual CO2 emissions from the use of Gas.  Surrender (give back) to the government emission allowances equivalent CO2 emissions  In place since 2005 CRC  All emissions not monitored by EU ETS or Climate Change Agreements  Includes electrical emissions  Cover large businesses and public sector whose annual electricity use >= 6,000,000 kWh  Start 1st of Jan 2010 UoW allowances cost is estimated approx. £115,000 per annum. UoW allowances = 25,000 tonnes/pa  Free allocation, so far  Possibility that 2013 allowances must be purchased.  Possible UoW impact ~£534,000 (~£21/Tonne)

10. 10 What is it EPC  Energy Performance Certificates  To help improve the energy efficiency of buildings.  From October 2008  Mandatory for built, sold or lease  Provides 'A' to 'G' ratings for the building  'A' = most energy efficient  'G' being the least  Average up to now being 'D'.  Accredited energy assessors produce EPC’s  Certificate  Report suggests energy efficiency improvements DEC  Display Energy Certificates  Energy usage in operation  Help public to see the energy efficiency  Consumption records for gas, electricity and other meters.  From 1 October 2008.  Displayed and visible at all times  Mandatory for:  buildings >= 1,000m2  Occupied by a public authority and institution providing a public service  Valid for one year. The accompanying Advisory Report is valid for seven years.  Advisory Report  Cost effective measures to improve building rating  “What the car is capable of”  “How the car is driven”

11. 11 The big picture  Income vs energy use  How do we compare with other HE  What happen if the University grows and we do nothing for energy efficiency

12. 12 University of Warwick Turnover ( since foundation in 1964)

13. 13 Turnover projection

14. 14  Consumption = c.180 million kWh (161 main campus only)  Energy spend = c.£8 million  Circa 2% of turnover  Carbon footprint = c.42,000 tonnes CO 2 (38,000 main campus only)  Overall target to reduce CO 2 footprint by - 10% by 2010/11 (Gov. target -20% by 2020) Energy Use K ey P erformance I ndicators (main campus + HRI)

15. 15 How do we compare to others Cost of our properties Total property costs (D26) per student FTE (D4) C1 (All data)

16. 16 How do we compare to others Energy costs (D31) psm GIA (D11) C1 (All data) This measure represents the average expenditure on energy provision (all fuels) per sqm gross space.

17. 17 How do we compare to others Energy consumption kW/h (D38A) psm GIA (D11) C1 (All data) This measure expresses total energy consumption (all fuels) against the total estate gross internal area.

18. 18 Year Total energy Use (GWh) Energy Use V olume

19. 19 Energy Costs As of 1 st Oct 2008

20. 20 Energy Use D ensity  Current Density is 387 Kwh/m 2 /annum  If not improvement consumption will increase from 180 to 227 million Kwh/a  Cost risk = c.£12.5 million  CO2 target is -20% by 2020  Energy density must be improved by 6% year to meet 2020 CO 2 target  New build / Refurbishment to be exemplar (£)(Million Kwh/a) (Kwh/m2/annum)

21. 21 Carbon Emissions

22. 22 What have we achieved Energy Management  Energy audits since the 1980’s  Collaborative work between academia and University administration  HE Carbon Management Programme  Save 10% of our carbon footprint  BREEAM Excellent Target on new builds  Strengthening of energy team

23. 23 What have we achieved Energy Management CHP and District Heating  Electricity generation (4.7MW e )  Heating, hot water and chilled water (14.1MW th )  Capital costs of circa £5M  Annual savings in the region of £1M pa.  >16km u/g pipe work covering c.60%  Maintenance costs less cf. stand alone plant  Optimisation of system includes thermal storage, increasing of summer heat load and ongoing system balancing.

24. 24

25. 25 Food for thought … 2 no. 1kW wind turbines Scheduling 1no. CHP engine to switch off between midnight and 5am 5 tonnes per annum 25 tonnes per week

26. 26 How CHP works

27. 27 What has been achieved Energy Management  Because CHP are more efficient they attract tax benefits  CCL: Carbon Charge Levy (reduce the costs of the Gas we buy)  CHPQA: Quality assurance for CHP (enhanced capital allowance – for private businesses)

28. 28 What we have achieved Energy Management  BMS: Building Management System  Give remote information and control  Allow to switch On/Off heating and cooling plants according to schedules  Art Centre is flexible for all performances  Allow variable drive to heating and air handling  Cost savings on energy  Monitor presence and comfort (CO ² )

29. 29  Campus development - business as usual:  Power : 12MW e => c.£3,000,000  Heat : 6MW th => c.£1,000,000  Water : 150,000m 3 => c.£250,000  Carbon dioxide emissions => up to c.50% Future Challenges

30. 30 The Future  Given the projected campus growth and intensification of the research aspects of the University’s operation – it is unlikely that overall energy consumption will fall.  It will however be necessary for the carbon intensity of the University’s energy procurement to fall (partially through mandate).  Local ownership, empowerment and ideas generation will be essential to the reduction of energy consumption per square unit.

31. 31 What is the strategy  Energy providers  requested for extra capacity  CHP + District Heating extension  Biomass CHP to save 3,500 t CO ²  Design Energy lean buildings  Reduce energy use / m 2 for whole life  Passivhaus benchmark ~ 100 vs 387 kwh/m2/a today  Involve staff and students to gain buy-in and accountability

32. 32 What are the projects  Planned additions to the network  Complete “ring” via Warwickshire land  New energy centre on Warwickshire land (biomass fuelled)  More absorption cooling for summer  Replacement of stand-alone boilers

33. 33 What are the projects  Improve synergies  Utilities part of design team from project kick off  Activate the Energy Champions network  Share best practices and opportunities.  Obtain students and staff buy-in  Reinforce energy audits  Analysis of metering data  Utilities experience and staff feedback  Use of EPC / DEC advisory reports

34. 34 What are the projects  Continue to focus on energy and CO ² conservation  Some buildings are heated 24/7  Some areas do not have thermostatic control  Improve lighting with more efficient fittings  Loft and wall insulation  Install Variable speed drive & Install voltage control

35. 35 What are the projects  Continue to focus on energy and CO ² conservation  Adjust lighting control in public areas (Within safety limits)  Install double glazing  Stand by and switch off of PC’s (feasibility pending)  Solar panels applications (thermal and Photovoltaic)  Laundry, HRI glasshouses….  Natural / reduced air conditioning in IT server rooms

36. 36 How to support the projects?  SALIX revolving green fund  Awaiting final decision after compliance audit  Dedicated to Energy & CO ² savings  Combine payback and CO² savings  5 - 7.5 years payback and max capital cost £50 - 100/tCO ² / LT life  SALIX Transformational fund  Project = Biomass CHP project funding  Extend District heating in south of campus  Increase electricity production by 30%; increase self sufficiency  Save 3,500 tons CO² additional per year  Increase resources  +2 on Utilities team

37. 37 What can you do?  Food for thought  What people say  Your personal contribution

38. 38 Food for thought …  2kW fan heater is equivalent to running more than 100 compact fluorescent lights  The standby cost of a vending machine can be £255pa (cf. an overall energy cost of £268)  500W halogen flood lights can be replaced by 60W low energy alternatives  A computer left on standby vs switched off costs up to £10pa.

39. 39 What people say

40. 40 “45 pledges received” “7% reduction in electricity use” “Be an Energy Scrooge this Christmas” “CIBSE Campaign” Energy Saving Initiatives

41. 41 Energy saving initiatives “StudentSwitchOff” - 8.6% average reduction - >500 tonnes CO 2 Student-led environmental action week – showcases, seminars, petitions, parties etc Student Switch Off saves 500 tonnes Thursday, 15 May 2008 Thursday, 15 May 2008 So far this academic year, the Student Switch Off has now saved over 500 tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere which is a fantastic result. A massive thanks must go out to the Eco-Power Rangers at the respective Universities who number over 2,750 (over 13% of the residents in halls) and are fulfilling their roles as ambassadors for positive change. Keep up the good work! The carbon dioxide saved by the Student Switch Off is equivalent to that produced by leaving a 15 Watt energy-saving lightbulb on for over 9,000 years! Check out the results sections for the overall data and the breakdown by individual University.
