A ROUTE TO ZERO CARBON for FE colleges
AGENDA • INTRODUCTION • BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS • RECOMMENDATIONS • SUMMARY • WHAT WE ARE DOING NEXT
INTRODUCTION • Arup commissioned early 2008 by LSC • First step along the way to zero carbon FE colleges • Provided research and recommendations
Demand Regulated energy Occupant energy Embodied energy Supply On-site Near site Off-site BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS What is a zero carbon college?
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS Emissions sources within colleges
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS How do we get there?
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS Minimising demand - modelling
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS How much will it cost?
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS • Definition of boundary conditions • Current emissions sources within colleges • Set interim levels towards zero carbon • Improvement levels understood • Quantified the cost of the options
RECOMMENDATIONS How do we get there? • Increase scope of data collection • Annual funding linked to energy targets • Trajectory to zero carbon • Incentivise low carbon design • Prioritise demand minimisation • Allow off-site generation
Annual funding linked to energy targets - Colleges to achieve real-life carbon reductions - Emissions reductions in colleges with no current capital program
Trajectory to Zero Carbon - Response to government targets regarding climate change - Provide clear targets for colleges and funding body Schools LSC Homes Building Regs Regulated Unregulated Today 2010 2013 2016 2019 2022
Incentivise low carbon design - Reduce emissions ahead of mandatory levels - Promote development of low emission colleges
Prioritise demand minimisation - LZC capability not unlimited
Allow off-site to make zero carbon possible in more colleges Change Image to lots of on-site turbines
Allow off-site generation - Increase proportion of colleges where zero carbon is possible - Increased cost efficiency
Allow off-site generation - Increase proportion of colleges where zero carbon is possible - Increased cost efficiency
SUMMARY • Provide understanding of the current situation • A unique opportunity to achieve real-life reductions • Zero carbon colleges by 2016 • Level 6 colleges give maximum carbon savings • Demand minimisation reduces strain on zero carbon capacity • Allow off-site to make zero carbon possible in more colleges
WHAT WE ARE DOING NEXT • Zero carbon new-build design • Carbon reductions in existing buildings • Operational improvements • Energy procurement
