Carbon management planWM Energy Managers' Forum, Friday 7th December 2012 Balbir Bassi Rugby Borough Council Balbir.Bassi@rugby.gov.uk
Introduction • In the past years Rugby Borough Council has taken measures in cutting down on wasted energy. • Meter readings were taken manually and given to the energy supplier. This contributed to bill validation and eliminated estimated billing. • False billing has been eliminated by identifying redundant and non existent meters. • New supplier contracts have been set up for suppliers to provide actual readings rather than estimated readings. • Significant reduction in billing is seen in slides to follow
Achievements & Progress to date Projects already implemented • Town hall voltage optimisation • Closure of Redundant buildings • Heating schedule checks (BEMS set points) • Energy Management (Monitoring, Recording & Reporting) • Installation of LED lighting to John Barford car park
Case study The secret : • To show success with an initial project that demonstrates a strong financial return. • Implement a project with a positive Environmental Impact. That’s; Replacement of T8 5ft fluorescent tubes and fitting with Lylux- 5ft LED and fittings with sensors
Case Study John Barford Multi-Storey Car Park LED lighting to a Multi-storey Car Park • Complete Lamp/Luminaires & Lighting controls(sensors) ,supply and fit to 389 fittings. • Project Cost £49 950 including installation

Predicted ChangeJohn Barford Car Park lighting Predicted Savings for the car park only
Actual Evidence of ChangeJohn Barford Car Park lighting Pay back less than 5 years: 4.8 years From £5,274 down to £1,305
Evidence of ChangeJohn Barford Car Park lighting • Impact • Reduced electric energy consumption:75% saving In one quarter . • Reduced annual running costs from £13,232 to £2,742 • Improved Energy efficiency to the car Park • Improved Lighting Control • Improved Lighting levels hence Customer satisfaction. • Positive Environmental impact
Challenges • To Believe in LED (new technology),as the most cost effective solution for the car Park. • To design for sensors and timers to maximise energy savings while providing adequate lighting where necessary. • To manage the project during Christmas period and ensure minimum disruptions to the daily use of the car park.
Summary • LED with controls is the way forward. It cuts down on energy usage while producing a positive effect on budgets • Final Thought……. Energy reduction saves money
