  1. European – Sustainable Energy Award for Prisons E-SEA P IEE/10/383/SI2.589428

  2. Project Summary • 8 European Regions and 14 participant prisons working to establish an international award and assessment framework to recognise achievements in improved energy sustainability in prisons • E-SEAP will encourage an holistic approach to energy management through assessment and support tools that address 3 components: • Prison Buildings and Management • Education and training (prisoners and staff) • Prison Communities

  3. Background • Informed and developed on the basis of an award winning pilot project by Severn Wye Energy Agency (www.swea.co.uk) • Prisons high energy consumers consisting of non residential, including in some instances industrial and multi residential (prisoner wings) buildings • High energy spends and low morale and motivation are common across Europe • This award seeks to motivate, provide recognition and kudos and recognise allsteps taken by prison authorities not just their consumption savings • Addressing education and training issues the project also seeks to support prisons in reducing reoffending, tackling fuel poverty and increasing the impact of sustainability measures through the domestic sector (homes and families of staff and prisoners

  4. Objectives and Main Steps • To develop E-SEAP as a fully supported assessment methodology and award • To fully engage key actors in shaping the E-SEAP • To raise awareness and foster the adoption of intelligent energy use patterns and action beyond EPBD • To evaluate the effectiveness and added value E-SEAP brings • To generate international interest from beyond the consortium towards longer term strategic objectives • Engagement of target group and potential stakeholders • Enabling Practical Action – supporting prisons on each of the E-SEAP elements, simultaneously developing the assessment framework and preparing prisons for the first awards • Finalisation – evaluation, adaptation and production of a unified assessment and award methodology with support tools • Instigation of Strategic Objectives through high level and comprehensive final dissemination

  5. Expected Results • Fully supported award scheme available in 8 regions with established business case and interest for future roll out. The E-SEAP will have a common international branding and comprises of 3 Elements • For each element (Buildings and their Energy Management; Education and Training; Prison Communities) there will be; • A matrixidentifying the components (the tasks participant prisons need to achieve); each component will have multiple levels of achievement: • A set of scoring assessment criteriafor each component that indicates the route of progression and serves to provide a numerical score • The range of evidence requiredfrom a Prison to demonstrate they have achieved each component • A Guidance Manual to support prisons in achieving the award • A format for assessment and moderation and overall scoring methodology, with weightings applied for each component.
