  1. How to unlock the secrets of decarbonised buildings - what's holding you up?Annual EAUC Conference, March 2010

  2. Who we are Self Energy UK • UK’s first decentralised Energy Services Company (ESCO) • Leader in decentralised energy delivery • Reducing energy costs, carbon emissions and increase the security of energy supplies. E.ON Sustainable Energy • Created in 2007 • Low carbon, decentralised energy advice and solutions • Cost effective response to meet new regulations in carbon reduction • Over 350 people dedicated to delivery Working together with complementary skills and resources to deliver across the UK

  3. Decarbonisation of buildings • What does this mean? • Reduce carbon intensive energy (Energy Efficiency) • Reducecarbon in the energy (Energy Generation) • Energy hierarchy • Opportunities and constraints for taking carbon out of buildings • Introduce a business model and how it could function Use less Use efficiently Use renewably Use (fossil fuels) cleanly Energy hierarchy

  4. This is what you’ve told us…. Which suppliers are the better ones? Which are dodgy? We’d love to do loads of energy reduction, we need to do loads of energy reduction No capital or the fear of it running out That’s what is holding you up! We’re flat out just keeping it going We understand the technology Procurement process takes ages Hundreds of new entrants into the technology market New regulations are coming in thick and fast

  5. What’s happening out there? • Pressure to reduce costs; budgets are reducing • Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency scheme – more data, more compliance • European Performance of Buildings Directive – DECs for larger buildings • Green League – pressure to compete? • HEFCE funding – linking of capital to carbon • Important to balance the energy ‘trilemma’

  6. What is an Energy Performance Guarantee (EPG)? • Means by which a contractor designs an energy reduction solution for a building or portfolio of buildings he selects the equipment, installs it and maintains it, subject to complexity. • Key features include: • Monitoring and verification, taking into account variables • Contractor acts as single point of contact for whole scheme • Contractor takes risk by underwriting the selection and performance of the equipment • Two key variants: • University takes responsibility for funding • Contractor funds the solution

  7. The Energy Performance Guarantee FINANCE KNOWLEDGE RISK MITIGATION University University Contractor only paid by % of net savings Total Energy savings Contractor Total Energy Consumption (current) Total Energy Consumption (post implementation) Beyond the end of Performance Guarantee Before During partnership Fixed term partnership period Savings shared during the partnership

  8. Process of engagement Initial conversation Energy Performance Guarantee Energy & Carbon Improvement Analysis Operate & Maintain, Monitor & Verify Full Feasibility for Investment Grade Proposal Design, Procurement & Implementation

  9. Recent Case study • Large listed building surrounded by administration and accommodation buildings • Knowledgeable customer but inexperienced; firmly pro some technologies, anti-others • Wanted to make a statement, keep ahead of peers • Use opportunity to improve e.g. LED streetlights • Some active technologies (CHP), some passive, PV and insulation. Behaviour? • Some constraints on environmental conditions • c£500k investment, 5 year payback, client to decide on preferred model (see graph)

  10. Summary • Positive developments supply side; incentives bringing new technology to UK • ‘Pay As You Save’ (PAYS) is the model of the moment, see ‘Green Deal’ • Energy Performance Guarantee brings good balance of risk transfer yet agreed process and technology selection • Energy reduction is a journey not a project • Universities and colleges are perfect subjects due to variety and number of co-located buildings; age, function, complexity • So, what’s holding you up?
