1
A ROUTE TO ZERO CARBON for FE colleges
2
INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS RECOMMENDATIONS SUMMARY WHAT WE ARE DOING NEXT AGENDA
3
INTRODUCTION Arup commissioned early 2008 by LSC First step along the way to zero carbon FE colleges Provided research and recommendations
4
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS What is a zero carbon college? Supply On-siteNear siteOff-site Demand Regulated energyOccupant energyEmbodied energy
5
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS Emissions sources within colleges
6
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS How do we get there?
7
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS Minimising demand - modelling
8
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS How much will it cost?
9
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
10
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?
11
A unique opportunity to achieve real life reductions
12
Annual funding linked to energy targets - Colleges to achieve real-life carbon reductions - Emissions reductions in colleges with no current capital program
13
Zero carbon colleges by 2016
14
Trajectory to Zero Carbon Today20102013201620192022 - Response to government targets regarding climate change - Provide clear targets for colleges and funding body Unregulated Regulated LSC Building Regs Homes Schools
15
Level 6 colleges provide best value carbon reductions
16
Incentivise low carbon design - Reduce emissions ahead of mandatory levels - Promote development of low emission colleges
17
Demand minimisation reduces strain on zero carbon capacity
18
Prioritise demand minimisation - LZC capability not unlimited
19
Allow off-site to make zero carbon possible in more colleges Change Image to lots of on-site turbines
20
Allow off-site generation - Increase proportion of colleges where zero carbon is possible - Increased cost efficiency
21
Allow off-site generation - Increase proportion of colleges where zero carbon is possible - Increased cost efficiency
22
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
23
WHAT WE ARE DOING NEXT Zero carbon new-build design Carbon reductions in existing buildings Operational improvements Energy procurement
