East Midlands SCoRECarbon Reduction Resources& Pilot Programme College St. Centre 6th July 2011
WELCOME Mike Peverill Climate Change Co-ordinator Climate East Midlands
East Midlands SCoRE Update On Programme Dan Fernbank Public Sector Manager 6th July 2011
Proposal from Carbon Trust • Propose to fund extended programme to mid-February • Excellent resource development • Specifically targeted focus areas for East Mids authorities • Wider value recognised by Carbon Trust • Better-support commencement of rollout • Feedback from you - speak to me and feedback on • feedback forms
Support from Department for Education Schools Minister Lord Hill said: “I welcome this initiative from the Carbon Trust. Improving energy efficiency in England’s schools could save millions of pounds while reducing carbon emissions which contribute to climate change. Through this programme, local authorities and schools can work together on practical ways to save energy.”
Press / MP / Council Leader support • Press release – propose closer to pilot launches • Happy to support your press releases • MP mailshot – time around pilot launches for photo opps • Council Leaders – mailshot also planned
CRC – Latest News • Confirmed NO intention to replace CRC with conventional tax • Consumption reporting, allowance purchase, published results remain • Intend to simplify from April 2013 • www.decc.gov.uk for full details • Intend to review treatment of Academies – publishing options paper shortly • Summary school responses: • Treatment of academies/PFI schools needs review • Schools should remain in CRC; varying options for responsible organisation • Varying proposals for responsible organisation – school, LA (but fairer duty of assistance), Dept Ed • LA’s should be able to pass cost to individual schools not central fund
Introduction Ed Horgan Programme Director

The Schools Performance and Business Case Tool Cliff Bassett
Overview • Excel based application (2003 onwards) • Designed to be used by those not familiar with Excel • Modular structure: • Data input • Analysis (graphs) • Outputs (reports) • Two tier: LA (entire school estate) & individual school • Comprehensive guidance notes • Foundation for Carbon Capture and Delivery Plan modules
Practical, Fast Track, Whole School Savings Leigh-Anne Thorpe
Overview • Practical methodology for fast track delivery of five key savings opportunities: • Active labelling of light switches (≈12% saving) • Lighting switch off (≈10% saving) • IT shut-down (≈5% saving) • Reduction of out-of-hours electrical load (≈20% saving) • Permanently sealing superfluous opening windows (≈15% saving) • Designed to be used by the school’s Action Team (light touch from LA)
Structure • For each opportunity the guidance provides: • An explanation of the opportunity • Practical methodology for implementation • Cost and carbon savings estimator
Active Labelling of Lighting • Lighting controlled by multiple switches • Not all lighting normally needs to be on • Identify unnecessary rows • Agree with class teacher • Mark up switches
Lighting Switch Off • Nominate lighting monitor • Assess amount of natural daylight regularly • Switch off lights accordingly • Ensure appropriate use of blinds • Keep windows free from obstruction
IT Switch Off • Identify all IT equipment • Is it left on unnecessarily? • Traffic Light Coding System • Green: anyone can switch off • Amber: check with user before switching off • Red: do not switch off • Communicate –whole school to switch off
Reducing your out-of-hours electrical load • Check overnight load in kW • Undertake survey – identify electrical items left on unnecessarily and use Traffic Light Coding System • Switch off green and amber • Calculate reduced kW load – subtract from original • Maintain best practice level
Permanently Sealing Superfluous Opening Windows • Some classrooms have windows that are never opened • Many of these will be draughty • Survey windows • Determine which can be permanently sealed • Apply silicone sealant • Adopt safe practices and risk assessment
Eco-Schools Practical Energy Saving • Advance energy module of Eco-Schools • Deliver £, kWh, CO2 Saving, and facilitate Eco-Schools award application. • Evidence as output • Encourages adoption of the Eco-Schools framework
Exercise • Creating an Action Plan • Look at your approach to supporting the use of the “Delivering Practical, Fast Track, Whole School Saving” resource at your pilot schools. • Consider individual tasks, such as: • introducing the methodology to your pilot schools • establishing school Action Teams (if none already exist) • carrying out the necessary surveys • calculating and demonstrating savings • For each task, think about who will be involved and what resources they may need.
Getting the Benefit from AMR Cliff Bassett
Overview • An emerging opportunity. • Guidance for schools • aimed at electricity and gas meters. • daily and weekly profile charts • Part 1: Accessing your data: • To be written by LA • Part 2: Identifying common areas of energy waste • Example profiles (with features highlighted) • ‘Possible causes’ and ‘remedial action’ guidance
Daily Electricity Chart Unexpected increase in overnight consumption
Taking Control Of Your Heating John Wade
Overview • A Common and Recurring Issue • Different approach required • Process Orientated Guidance • Basic management document • Non-technical • Optional Advanced Guidance • What should be included?
Key Steps • Appoint HCM or HCMsWho? • Understand How? Where? Which? • Check Times When? • Check TemperaturesHow High? • Monitor How Much?
Understand Zones Boiler Value Controllers Thermostats
Check Times • Define Requirements • Produce Schedule • Recognise opportunities • Check Current Operating times • Time Control Settings • What is actually being delivered
Check Temperatures • Measure actual temperatures • Representative Areas • Different times of day and year • Compare • Recognise Potential Issues • Windows open • Fan Heaters • Make adjustments • Room thermostats/TRVs • Heating Contractor
Monitor SCoRE Heating Control Assessment Sheet
Exercise • Guidance delivery and support workshop
Invest to Save Project Identification and Renewables Briefing Sheets
Invest to Save Project Identification • Many Local Authorities have Salix (or other) funds that require a steady stream of new projects. • Knowledge of schools estate assets can be incomplete • Objective to create a simple checklist for schools to complete, as an initial indicator of possible project opportunities
Approach • Projects limited to: • Salix compliant • Those which schools can identify • Generally, a tick box form • Photographs provided to help with identification • Supplementary feedback encouraged • Comments • Photographs
Heating projects • Boiler replacement • Heating controls upgrades • Zone controls • Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) • Pipe & valve insulation • Water heater time switches • Electric heating to gas conversion
Other areas • Lighting replacements • Lighting controls • Loft insulation • Draught proofing • CRT to flat screen monitors • Network PC power management software • Swimming pool covers
Renewables Briefing Sheets • Need for get basic information to schools introducing: • Photovoltaics (PV) • Biofuel heating • Many schools being ‘courted’ by equipment suppliers • Need look after interests of: • The school • The LA
Contents • Brief introduction to the technologies • Explanation of FiTs or the RHI • Indicative business case • Alternative procurement methods for PV • School purchase vs. Rent-your-roof • Key points to consider (questions to ask) • Next steps (who to contact in your LA)
