  1. High Performance Buildings – The Crucial Role of IT - King’s College 30 September 2008 ESTATES-it Collaboration– The Crucial Link for Campus Sustainability? Professor Peter James www.susteit.org.uk Joint Information Systems Committee Supporting education and research

  2. HIGH PERFORMANCE BUILDINGS • Effective in all key dimensions- functional, comfort and safety, statements, AND sustainable AND flexible- avoid the cul-de-sac of ‘green construction’ • Benefits of a holistic, iterative, design process- user needs; right sizing; systems integration • Maximising synergistic features- e.g. natural lighting and ventilation • Highlighting flexibility

  3. CLIMATE GROUP/MCKINSEY STUDY • ICT can reduce 2020 CO2 emissions by 15% • $946 billion of cost savings • 21% of reductions from ICT improved building design, management and control • Other reductions also building related- smart grids (26%)- dematerialisation (6%)

  4. FHE BUILDING CONTEXT • A number of excellent examples- new e.g. Queen Mother Building, Dundee- old, e.g. Elizabeth Fry Building, East Anglia- forthcoming, e.g. Informatics, Edinburgh • Many new buildings are creating a long-term burden of excessive cost, and inflexibility • There is no alternative- regulation; funding councils; reputation- changing markets

  5. RESIDENCE PERFORMANCE- Fossil fuel heated, 3000m2

  6. 04-05 RESIDENCE ENERGY DATA (Fossil Fuel Heated)

  7. 04-05 RESIDENCE ENERGY DATA (Electrically Heated)

  8. KEY INSTITUTIONAL MESSAGES • ‘Win win’ opportunities are concentrated in the first few months of the process- need a high level champion • The ‘intangible’ factor of teams who ‘get it’ and talk to each other is crucial • Simple things done well beats grand gestures • Empower the engineers and facilities staff • Understand the real costs of decisions • Commissioning and evaluation are vital

  9. EARLY STAGE WIN-WIN BENEFITS • Concept, orientation, layout • Flexibility (enabling longer life and higher utilisation) • ‘Right sizing’ services/eqt to needs • Avoiding future infrastructure investment • Budgeting for commissioning, evaluation etc.

  10. KEY SECTOR MESSAGES • Many individual institutions struggle to build and maintain relevant capacity- Harvard 20 specialists, 7 HPB • Little structured evaluation and sharing of experience- BREEAM for (Higher) Education- Sustainable Laboratories initiative- AUDE establishing database
