5. Drivers for Sustainable Design • Take our responsibility seriously “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” • Devolved Procedures • Availability of SEI Grants • If we cant who can ? • Need to MasterPlan for sustainability • Key Criteria for selection of Design Teams • Keen awareness of Life Cycle • “It doesn’t have to cost more”

17. Scheme Sketches

18. Benefits of Sustainable Design

19. Electrical Consumption Comparison

20. Barriers to Sustainable Development • “Connecting the dots” (Global Warming etc.) • Focus on Lowest First Cost (it has to cost more ?) • Traditional design methodology • Designers Enthusiasm\Interest • Design Team Fees • Lack of Involvement of End Users • Cost of Assessments • Lack of Legislative Basis

21. Barriers to Sustainable Development • Lack of Design Technological Tools (CFD etc.) • Incremental Loss design – commissioning - occupation • Market Structures (eg. CHP) 100 0 Time

22. UCC Focus • Continued focus on management (Monitoring & Targeting) • User Education • Prioritised Minor Improvements • Setting/Monitoring of Energy Targets for new buildings • Energy Bureau • Opportunities for Collaborative Research • Energy Performance Directives
