  1. A Carbon Reduction Plan for Property Mark Jeffcote Environment Team Leicester City Council

  2. Council Targets • Reduce the Council’s CO2 emissions to 50% of the 2008/09 level by 2025/26 • Also applies to property portfolio

  3. The Council’s Carbon Footprint 11/12

  4. A Strategic Approach to Property Emissions? • Approx. 70% of council emissions • Yet no strategic plan for managing emissions from the property portfolio! • Simply a list of projects in the ‘Road Map’

  5. The Property Portfolio • Operational property - 490 • Schools - 110 • (Non-operational property – 500+) • (Council houses)

  6. Step 1 • Identify themes and responsibilities • Map projects and gaps/barriers • Additional ‘low cost’ project proposals

  7. Strategic Co-ordination – Policy Drivers, Resources, Timetable and Programme Management etc. BUILDING OPERATION UNDERLYING BUSINESS-AS-USUAL AND OTHER TRENDS LOCAL ENERGY SUPPLY INFRASTRUCTURE GRID SUPPLY NEW BUILD AND MAJOR REFURBISHMENT 1 BSF Energy Use Monitoring District Heating Green Supply Contracts Increased ICT Use Primary Schools Other Large Scale Low/Zero Carbon Technologies Larger Floor Areas Minor Upgrades - BSIP (-Decarbonisation) Corporate Projects(e.g. City centre accommodation strategy) Extended Opening Hours User Behaviour Control Setting Flexible Working Maintenance and Minor Upgrades – CMF, Buy-Back Asset Purchase/Disposal Environment Team Property Services ICT Energy Team 3 ICT 2 Diagram applies to: • Operational Property • City Centre • Neighbourhood • Schools 4

  8. Step 1 - Results • Lack of Strategic Co-ordination • Lack of standards (eg. specifications, BREEAM) • No acknowledgement of energy as a priority, lack of staff capacity for control setting, no funding for energy conservation. • No day-to-day explicit management support for schools. • (No work with large city-wide portfolio of non-operational property)

  9. Step 2 • Will the existing projects & new ‘low cost’ proposals achieve the 50% target?

  10. Step 2 - Results • Operational Property CO2 – 20 tonne shortfall • Schools CO2 – 7059 tonne shortfall

  11. Step 2 – Results for Operational Property

  12. Step 2 – Results for Operational Property

  13. Step 2 – Results for Schools

  14. Green Electricity from the Grid • ‘Buying Green’ and ‘Grid Decarbonisation’ • Would allow overall target to be met • But excluded from thinking!

  15. Green Electricity from the Grid • Only guaranteed for corporate buildings • No reduction in energy use or cost • No guaranteed supply • Potentially prohibitively expensive • Not accepted by government for emissions reduction • No renewables stimulation

  16. What Next? • Financial cost-benefit (ignoring the budget incentive mis-match!) • Secure (i) SCoRE (ii) engineer for control setting (iii) more energy sensitive CMF (iv) attention to BSF school operation • Schools a problem – Academies agenda? • Third-party solutions (eg. Non-domestic Green Deal, London Re:Made)

  17. DISCUSSION
