How do we save energy, CO 2 & money in our buildings?

1. Better life Better climate How do we save energy, CO2 & money in our buildings? …and why the fight against climate change starts at home Thomas Nordli, Group Communications, Rockwool International A/S

3. Why save energy? • Security of energy supply • Reduce global warming • Green jobs • Cleaner air, better health • Cut energy costs

4. The last oil • 4 countries control most of the world’s oil reserves • 3 countries control most of the world’s gas reserves • Energy demand is growing, reserves are declining • 80% of the oil producing nations are facing, or already struggling with, declining production Sources: ASPO, BP, DOE

5. How long will our resources last? Most of our energy consumption is based upon non-renewable sources Discovery Extrapolation Consumption IEA forecast Source Aspo newsletter no 35

6. Climate change – where should we start?

7. Buildings are the biggest energy consumer and CO2 polluter 33% of all energy in EU is used for transport 26% of all energy in EU is used by industry 41% of all energy in EU is used by buildings 2/3 of energy consumption in buildings is used for heating, cooling and ventilation.

8. Where do you use most energy?

9. Higher emissions & losses to come • 50% of world population live in urban areas. This will grow to 70% by 2030. • Aircon will triple before 2030 (McKinsey/Vattenfall) • CO2 emissions from buildings will grow by 50+% by 2030. Mainly in North America and East Asia (IPCC). • Affordable and Sustainable housing should be a main priority

10. Buildings for the future? A building can last 100 years or more. Short-sighted energy inefficiency is costly.

11. More power plants or less energy waste? It’s more costly to build new power plants than to save energy The cost of saving a unit of electricity is 2.6 euro cents compared to a price of delivered electricity of 3.9 euro cents Source: EU

12. Energy efficiency is the largest ‘energy resource’ – and it is far from exploited! The role of different resources in the world energy balance (1999)

13. Jobs – can we afford to save on CO2?

15. Insulation a highly profitable CO2 saving Insulation Source: McKinsey 2009, version 2, Pathway to a low carbon economy

16. How low can we go? It is possible with existing and proven technology to have buildings with a fraction of the present average consumption! kWh/m2/year for heating Sources: EU Commission, DK building regulations and www.passivhaus.de

17. Jobs – Climate – MoneyModernise energy efficiently! Every year energy waste worth € 270 billion and some 460 million tonnes of CO2 pollution could be saved cost effectively. More than 500 000 jobs could be created in Europe alone. Sources: Ecofys & EURIMA

18. Job Growth from Energy Efficiency Aggressive increases in US building energy codes could result in • Increase of nearly 1.1 million US jobs • Increase in income of $28.5 billion US • Decrease in energy use by 20.8 Quads Source: the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy

19. Better quality of life (thermal comfort)

20. Single-family house from 1927 Renovated 2004 Energy use for heating before: 5300 litre oil yearly Energy saving: 57% CO2-reduction: 8 tonnes/year Net profit $ 2,500 /year Energy refurbishment – the untapped potential

21. Key recommendations • Strengthen energy requirements considerably • Make the Passive House our standard choice (mandatory in new UK buildings from 2013) • Always make building renovations energy efficient • Make public buildings energy efficient role models • Provide one-stop energy efficiency packages for home-owners • Provide up-front financing

22. The fight against climate change starts at home Buildings account for some 40% of energy consumption And a major share of manmade CO2 emissions Mostly for heating, cooling and ventilation Most of this expensive energy is wasted

23. A few facts about The Rockwool/Roxul Group • The world leader in stone wool • Global no. 2 in insulation • Turnover USD 2.8 billion • 8000 employees • 21 factories in 14 countries

24. Rockwool factories

25. Energy saving = Environmental profit In its lifetime (more than 50 years) Rockwool insulation can save more than 100 times the energy used for its production. Positive environmental balance after a few weeks.

26. Positive environmental balance (1:128) Rockwool Eco-balance: Energy Used in life-cycle Saved in life-cycle Rockwool/Roxul insulation is one of the major energy savers. A typical 250 mm Rockwool loft insulation product – manufactured and installed in Denmark and used over 50 years - will save 128 times more primary energy than was used for its production, transport and disposal. The energy balance becomes positive only 5 months after installation. Source: FORCE TECHNOLOGY/dk-TEKNIK

27. CO2 emissions This year’s sale alone of Rockwool insulation will, over 50 years, save more than 200 million tonnes of CO2(this is more than today’s annual emissions from the Netherlands)
