Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions at UEA

UEA generates 3 MW of its own electricity saves over 9000 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. saves around £40,000 a month exploring installation of absorption chiller - the WIN - WIN option Average for new University Buildings UEA 400 300 200 100 0 kWh/m 2 /yr gas electricity Other examples where UEA is leading the way. Student Residences Combined Heat and Power
4
Zuckerman Institute for Connective Environmental Research (ZICER) Elizabeth Fry performance has improved over years. ZICER will be better and less than 70% of emissions of mid 90s best practice building Photovoltaic cells will generate ~ 30 kW and save 20 tonnes CO 2 per annum.

Why CRed?
8
Energy White Paper – aspiration for 60% cut in CO 2 emissions by 2050 Will require unprecedented partnership activity in local communities to ensure on track by 2020s
9
Why CRed? Opportunity Leading the way to the new lower-carbon economy Attracting people with new ways of thinking and new ways of doing things Norwich/Norfolk, with partners in the East of England, showing the world – exemplar for the world
10
Ambition To engage, enthuse and empower a large, diverse community to debate, plan and execute a programme to reduce carbon emissions by up to 60% by 2025
11
The Challenges Awareness, perceptions, attitudes, acceptances Awareness-raising, demonstration & research project Scientific/technological
12
CRedibility? School of Environmental Sciences (6*) HQ Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research Climatic Research Unit Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment Centre for Environmental Risk East Anglian Business Environment Club Environmental Management Systems Club Schools Energy Club Schools Waste Club
13
The CRed Community Participatory/inclusive Spark imaginations Modes of participation (targets/methods) Matrix of modes of participation = representative of real-world complexity Centred on Norwich/Norfolk, but links across the region, country, the world…. Partnerships
14
Some Partners –City –County (incl. LEA) –Districts –The Broads Authority –Norwich Research Park –Norwich Union (Aviva) –Powergen –Housing Association –Transport Organisations –Building Developers –Building Partnerships –EEEGR
15
Norwich New Build CRed partnership: –City Council, Bovis, Persimmon, Flagship Broadland, community groups, EST. –Initial phase: –Carbon Index 8.6 minimum. Some homes much better. 1200 Energy Efficient homes in Bowthorpe, West Norwich
16
Operational Team Project Manager Project Officer Data and information management SME Co-ordinator: link to EABEC & EMS Club External liaison officer Research associate
17
Project Plan - 1 Feasibility Phase: 24 months –Project scope: 6 months including Building the community Learning from experiences elsewhere –Project Specification: 18 months Benchmarking Accounting processes Options analysis Options selection
18
Project Plan - 2 Strategic Plan Phase: 6 months Developing the implementation plan Implementation Phase (mid 2005) Implementation of carbon reduction options Evaluation Refinement
19
Launches National launch - May 21 st in Westminster Local launch - May 22 nd at the Forum
20
CRed can: Identify obstacles to the adoption of low carbon practices Help overcome them Integrate myriad activities Through partnerships, provide joined-up thinking Promote demonstration and awareness-raising projects Stimulate/encourage research (scientific, economic, policy) Influence decision-making and policy
21
We can all do so much more… Consumers will pay for energy efficiency Builders need encouragement, but will respond (improve information and grant procedures) Revision of building regulations- bye-laws to allow Councils to improve (e.g. Norwich – Carbon Index 9.6?) Separate CI for building envelope and heating system? Improvements needed for small-scale CHP under NETA (61% reduction following NETA); scheme such as the Renewable Obligations Certificate?
