  1. Existing Homes Alliance Edinburgh 03.09.12 Brenda Boardman Emeritus Fellow ECI University of Oxford

  2. Importance of UK residential • 25%+ of all CO2 emissions • 29% of all energy • 1/3rd of all electricity • 47% of peak electricity demand • £21bn on fuel costs • Worth £4tn (61% of infrastructure) • £22bn on building maintenance (<1%)

  3. Property value and energy efficiency • Create a link between property value and energy efficiency of property • Through mandatory minimum standards • S64, Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 makes this possible

  4. Market transformation of housing

  5. Scottish housing stock – jump a band by 2020

  6. How to achieve? • All jump one band • 300,000 homes pa x 8 years • Move fuel poor to B-rated/NHER 8 by 2016 • Double track: • Aspirational Standard • Mandatory Minimum Standard

  7. Income + housing Low income High income Energy inefficient housing Energy efficient housing

  8. Low-carbon zones • One per 32 local authorities • Where fuel poor concentrated • Ensure every home out of fuel poverty to NHER 8 • Do street-by-street • CHP + waste / community schemes • Cover the country in 10 years

  9. Résumé for fuel poverty • Fuel poor are difficult to find • Need comprehensive policies on incomes and housing • Low carbon = super energy efficient + micro-generation • Area-based approach, all homes • Clear strategy with targets and timescales

  10. SAP and non-SAPUK housing 2009

  11. Non-SAP = lights and appliances • EU product policy • 40+ product groups • mainly electricity-using • labels and minimum standards • UK • push for strong EU policies • take unilateral action • otherwise only policy is EUETS

  12. Who pays? • Substantial costs • At no direct capital cost to the poor • Cannot identify the fuel poor • No need to subsidise the rich • Through fuel prices? • Through income tax? • Property-owner’s responsibility?

  13. Which policies? • zero interest loans through Energy Saving Scotland Home Loans Scheme • Financial incentives, eg LESA for landlords • Green Deal means loans available (7.5% interest) • ECO is only proposed grant for the poor and for tenants

  14. Result by 2050 • No net energy for space and water heating: small demand provided from micro-renewables (ST, PV, CHP) • Electricity for lights and appliances halved (per property) – provided by large scale renewables on grid
