David Harnett Energy Engineer Environment Directorate Milton Keynes Council
Milton Keynes Administrative Situation Milton Keynes Council • Unitary Authority since 1997 • Population 227,000 (growing) • Energy Spend £7m in 2008 • Centralised energy management • Procure for the majority of Council buildings • Approx 300+ non domestic buildings • Much of the stock now aging
Corporate Carbon Team • On Carbon Trust Carbon Mgmt Programme • Strategic Implementation Plan • Carbon Team - 5 people • Energy and Carbon Managers • 2 Engineers + admin support • New role – now includes climate change • Additional resources sought
Energy Efficiency - Funding • Little money for measures • Initially coercion / clients own funds • CT / 3rd party surveys on poorly performing corporate buildings • Some free utility support via EEC • Salix fund granted in 2007 • Also Value For Money (Gershon) pot • Initially concentrate on quick returns – Insulation / Lighting / Power perfector
DEC’s – Preliminary activity • Team funding for DEC’s for MKC agreed late August 2008 • opportunity to add value to DEC’s • Schools major element (around 95) • All sites surveyed for DEC+ARs • None issued to date but imminent… • Awareness will be raised of the importance of good housekeeping
Initial results from DEC surveys • From this…… To this
Milestones – Emissions Data • Baseline emissions breakdown • 33,000 tonnes of Carbon • Target - 2.5% CO2 cut from 2004 by 2010 • Difficulty setting % due to growth of MK (3% p.a.) • Latest figures show overall increases based on 2007
Jeremy Draper Energy Manager Environment Directorate Milton Keynes Council
Energy Efficiency - Projects • Several Major collaborative projects; • cRRescendo (funded by the EU Concerto initiative) • Mains Gas Injection from biogas (UK Growth Area Funding) • Electric Vehicle initiative – (UK ETI funding) • CYBER/DISPLAY (EU Intelligent Energy programme) • AND my day job – managing the day to day energy use of the council
Changing emphasis within the council • In the beginning you paid your utility bills • Then there was the Energy Manager • Then the Sustainability/LA 21 Officer • Then the Carbon Manager • Now the Climate Change Team!
Initiative Overload • More and more climate change related legislation • Seek common purposes and methodology to reduce the administrative burden • CYBER has common ground with UK EPB legislation, CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, NI185 & 186 and CSR leadership.
Thankyou • Now Lunch and Networking • Afternoon Session starts at 13:15 in this room
