Sharing information • Information gathering • Economic data e.g. forecasting, market information • Environmental data e.g. Green Guide • Best practice e.g. design and construction • Quality e.g. Key Performance Indicators • Customers e.g. sales leads, promotions • Information broadcasting • Lobbying government e.g. Building Regulations • Product benefits e.g. to house builders • Guidance e.g. design and construction
Learning together • Defining and disseminating best practice • Design • Construction • Customer care • Sustainability
Influencing the future • Technical standards • BS and EN product standards • Building regulations • Fire • Energy • Structure • European legislation • Major customers standards • Homes and Communities Agency • Major house builders
Low impact built environment • Must be measured over lifetime of building • Embodied and operational impacts • Include maintenance and replacements • Can be cost, carbon or total impacts
New versus existing • New build • Capital cost per kg of CO2 under SAP is key • RHI could offer some ongoing income • Existing stock • Capital cost and current savings key • RHI could offer some ongoing income
Threats • Micro CHP (particularly if with FiT income) • District CHP and heat networks • Fuel cells • PV if costs continue to fall • Code Level 4 without renewables • Will Allowable Solutions and new zero carbon definition push community solutions?
Opportunities • New build if cost effective CO2 saving • Process hot water • Possible PV/thermal hybrids • Existing stock – Green Deal • Lower density developments • Combining with non CHP biomass systems • Dependent on RHI/FiT relationship
Summary • RHI/FiT relationship key • Costs must continue to fall • Product development essential • Diverging solutions for new versus existing? • More ‘packaged solutions’ • Growth of overall construction market very slow over next few years • Green Deal could be a driver
