  1. A ROUTE TO ZERO CARBON for FE colleges

  2. AGENDA • INTRODUCTION • BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS • RECOMMENDATIONS • SUMMARY • WHAT WE ARE DOING NEXT

  3. INTRODUCTION • Arup commissioned early 2008 by LSC • First step along the way to zero carbon FE colleges • Provided research and recommendations

  4. Demand Regulated energy Occupant energy Embodied energy Supply On-site Near site Off-site BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS What is a zero carbon college?

  5. BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS Emissions sources within colleges

  6. BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS How do we get there?

  7. BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS Minimising demand - modelling

  8. BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS How much will it cost?

  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. A unique opportunity to achieve real life reductions

  12. Annual funding linked to energy targets - Colleges to achieve real-life carbon reductions - Emissions reductions in colleges with no current capital program

  13. Zero carbon colleges by 2016

  14. 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

  15. Level 6 colleges provide best value carbon reductions

  16. Incentivise low carbon design - Reduce emissions ahead of mandatory levels - Promote development of low emission colleges

  17. Demand minimisation reduces strain on zero carbon capacity

  18. Prioritise demand minimisation - LZC capability not unlimited

  19. Allow off-site to make zero carbon possible in more colleges Change Image to lots of on-site turbines

  20. Allow off-site generation - Increase proportion of colleges where zero carbon is possible - Increased cost efficiency

  21. Allow off-site generation - Increase proportion of colleges where zero carbon is possible - Increased cost efficiency

  22. 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

  23. WHAT WE ARE DOING NEXT • Zero carbon new-build design • Carbon reductions in existing buildings • Operational improvements • Energy procurement
