  1. The IPF Research Programme 2006-2009 Costing Energy Efficiency Improvements in Existing Commercial Buildings Richard Quartermaine SPR Research Briefing 1st October 2009

  2. Agenda Background Objectives Why? Research approach Findings

  3. Background Commenced in May 2008 Summary report and full research findings published in January 2009

  4. Objectives How can landlords improve the energy efficiency of their existing buildings? What improvements should be implemented first? How much CO2 can be saved and at what cost?

  5. Why is this important? Energy Performance Certificates Reducing risk Carbon Reduction Commitment Corporate social responsibility

  6. Research approach Building types Key characteristics Baseline CO2 emissions Improvements Occupied or vacant buildings Cost/benefit appraisal SELECT BUILDING TYPES THERMAL MODEL BUILDINGS BASELINE CO2 EMISSIONS ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS OCCUPIED BUILDINGS VACANT BUILDINGS

  7. What buildings?

  8. CO2 reduction through refurbishment – all offices

  9. CO2 reduction through refurbishment

  10. Energy efficiency improvements – VACANT office refurbishment

  11. Energy efficiency improvements – an OCCUPIED office

  12. Summary • Low cost opportunities for reducing CO2 emissions in existing commercial buildings • Biggest scope with older buildings • Opportunities for both vacant possession refurbishments and tenant occupied buildings • Improve EPC ratings and reduce liability under CRC

  13. SPR Sustainability as part of your recession strategy October 2009

  14. Occupiers under stress Returns Sustainability Risk Cost reduction

  15. What mood are occupiers in?

  16. What are they saying about the future?

  17. Utopia vs. dystopia?

  18. Hypothetical urban occupier Headcount 300 Space allocation Low density: 15m2 per\person 100% desks High density: 10m2 per\person 80% desks Travel to work 8.2 miles each way - By train Carbon emissions per person per year

  19. Hypothetical out of town occupier Headcount 300 Space allocation Low density: 15m2 per\person 100% desks High density: 10m2 per\person 80% desks Travel to work 8.2 miles each way - By train Carbon emissions per person per year

  20. Where is all the CO2 coming from?

  21. Could location become more important?

  22. So what? “There are no big problems, there are just a lot of little problems” Henry Ford “Less is more” Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
