  1. Delivering the future, today Specifying and designing public sector low carbon buildings – the productivity design approach Renate.powell@carbontrust.co.uk

  2. Scottish GovernmentEnergy Efficiency Action Plan October 2010 • “We will provide clear energy efficiency guidance and leadership to the public sector to enable the delivery of energy saving improvements and promote exemplary behaviour.” • “We will work with the Carbon Trust to produce guidance… on the procurement of energy efficient, low carbon buildings in the public sector.”

  3. The sector matters… • 18% of UK’s carbon emissions are from non-domestic buildings • Many of the measures for carbon reduction in our buildings exist today and could be implemented quickly … and has potential to deliver significant carbon savings economically • UK-wide 35% carbon reductions by 2020 (vs. 2005) could deliver net benefit to UK of £4-5bn – • Reducing more carbon, sooner, will lead to a reduction in cumulative cost of achieving 80% reduction by 2050 • Reductions of 70-75% could be possible at no net cost to UK

  4. Delivering the future, todaySuite of Documents • Executive summary • Setting the scene • Project Manager’s Guide • Project Owner’s Guide • Tools • Client value preparation • Skills, knowledge and experience • Low carbon tracker www.carbontrust.com/resources/reports/advice/ delivering-the-future-today

  5. Operational Energy Target

  6. Setting the scene

  7. Temperature • Thermal comfort wintertime • Thermal comfort summertime

  8. Daylight Californian study on 20,000 pupils. It found that in schools, students with the most day-lighting in their classrooms progressed 20% faster on maths tests and 26% faster on reading tests in one year than those with the least.

  9. How to make it low carbon Passive first 1

  10. Efficient Services – not overspecification 2

  11. Ensure services are off when not needed 3

  12. Heat Recovery 4

  13. Renewables 5

  14. So, just specify x% better than building regulations to get better performance?

  15. The specification gap Asset related emissions Operational emissions

  16. Time and Cost • More time for design – Innovation, Best Value • Capital Cost

  17. Capital Costs • Angus Council – 50% energy savings compared to previous school at no capital cost premium • Whitecross in Hereford, 50% energy savings 0.7% capital increase • Inverclyde Council – 4% capital increase with 30% reduction in energy

  18. Whole life costing

  19. Project manager’s guide

  20. Client value preparation tool • Organisational Management • Client Values at Project Inception • Process and Finance • Investment and Whole-life Costs • Contractual Arrangements

  21. Site selection • Orientation options • Urban horizon angle • Access to enable delivery of biofuels • Planning restrictions • Available space • Prevailing weather direction • Zoning of adjacent areas

  22. Skills, knowledge and experience tool

  23. Design team selection

  24. How the carbon trust can help you

  25. Further assistance • Support the Client in specification • Be a handholder for the Client through the whole procurement process • Act as Technical Advisor on project design team • Be a verifier of key milestones reporting direct to Project Sponsor • Provide extensive training for different members of the design team
