100W Bulb Energy Energy is measured in Kilowatt Hours
Energy Energy is measured in Kilowatt Hours per tonne. Or a man cycling at 13mph for 1 hour 20 minutes He would then need to to eat 1500 calories to replace the energy 1Killowatt hour = 10 Lightbulbs for 1 hour Or one big mac, large fries, large coke (not diet)
Embodied energy kWh per tonne 1 tonne X 640 = 1 Tonne of timber = 640 Killowatt Hours
How much embodied energy? 1 Tonne X 2,560 = 1 Tonne of bricks has 4 times the embodied energy of timber
How much embodied energy? 1 Tonne X 3,200 = 1 Tonne of concrete has 5 times the embodied energy of timber
How much embodied energy? 1 Tonne X 8,960 = 1 Tonne of glass has 6 times the embodied energy of timber
How much embodied energy? 1 Tonne X 15,360 = 1 Tonne of steel has 24 times the embodied energy of timber
How much embodied energy? 1 Tonne X 80,640 = 1 Tonne of aluminium has 126 times the embodied energy of timber
Objectives • Maximise the use of wood in the Olympics highlighting its renewable nature • Highlight wood’s contribution to increased skills levels and employment • Implement a timber procurement policy that is both environmentally responsible and acceptable • Create an exemplar project using wood on the Olympic site and maximise ‘Legacy opportunities’ • Reinforce the industry’s standing with key stakeholders
Activity to date • Parliamentary launch • Top down campaign involving member companies around EDM • Comprehensive engagement programme • Distribution of Wood for Gold document • Setting up website – new website imminent • Specific lobbying papers • Consultation responses • Mailing to 400+ architects of Stadiums Document • Engagement with architects – meetings, presentation • Face to face meetings with ODA/CLM
Outcomes • United industry position – logistics group • Successful Parliamentary launch • 127 signatures on EDM – very good response • Trade and local press coverage • Good relationship with ODA • Enhanced relationships with other bodies CPA • Minister level recognition of campaign • Increased political profile • Inclusion of CPET in ODA Sustainable Development strategy
