PART LProblem or opportunity? Bill Wright Corporate Energy and Environment Manager, John Lewis plc
John Lewis and Waitrose • 27 Department Stores • 179 Supermarkets – and growing • 3 Factories • Farm • Leisure Facilities – including a castle!
ENERGYCOSTS Combined energy bill of over £35M! OUCH!!!!!!
COST OF ENERGY • Over the past three years 100% cost increase • Straight off bottom line • Now a major overhead
CARING FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT D 1kwh electricity = 0.43kg CO2 1kwh gas = 0.19kg CO2
CARING FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT D 1kwh electricity = 0.43kg CO2 1kwh gas = 0.19kg CO2 JL Oxford St produces OVER 4000 tons of CO2 each year And JL Victoria produces OVER 3000 tons
OUR AIMS • Build efficiently
OUR AIMS • Build efficiently • Reduce operating costs
OUR AIMS • Reduce consumption • Reduce costs • Reduce emissions
DOCUMENT L2A • Applies to new build • Reduce CO2 emissions • Improve building performance • Provide final user information
SERVICES DESIGN • Design for energy efficiency • Be aware of new regulations • Install meters to enable 90% of energy usage to be monitored. • If over 1000m2 use automatic meter reading
Lighting • Use efficient lighting sources HF ballasts, T5, CDMT spotlights etc • Zone and time controls essential • Assess lighting level required • Use natural daylight where possible • Switch off lights when not required - PIR
ELECTRIC MOTORS • Use efficient motors • Use variable speed drives – WHERE PRACTICABLE • Size motor correctly • ECA list?
BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS • Can control all building functions. • Keep it simple! • They are not the answer to everything!
INFORMATION • Estimate power consumption. • Provide customer with good records. • Energy Log Book?
PART L2B • Applies to existing buildings and extensions. • Does not apply if work only involves replacement equipment, or a few additional lights to existing circuits.
CONSEQUENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS! • Applies to building work associated with an existing building over 1000m2 in area. • Improvements to original building of 10% of cost of additional work. • Compliance can be upgrading existing services and / or controls. • Upgrade lighting if necessary.
RENEWABLE ENERGY • Requires renewable energy sources to be considered. • Some local authorities now require a minimum 10% renewable energy sources on site for planning approval. • Difficult to achieve economically
RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES • Wind power • Photo-voltaic • Solar Thermal • Ground Source heat pumps • CHP ( Combined heating and power) • Biomass boilers
ECONOMICS • None of renewable sources are truly economic • Assess sources for customer
CONCLUSION • Gain knowledge of Building Regulations requirements • Design accordingly • Be pragmatic • Commission thoroughly all installations • Provide all necessary information. • It is not that difficult!
