This study aims to establish emissions baselines for further education (FE) colleges, project carbon reduction levels, and advise on carbon strategies. It analyzes energy usage and emissions data to monitor progress towards sustainability goals.

Establishing FE college emissions and potential targets Nick Jagger
Objectives • Establish a 2008 baseline for FE colleges using emandate • Construct a reasonable 1999 baseline • Establish the requirements to achieve differing levels of carbon reduction • Advise on elements of a carbon strategy for the sector • Advise on additional data collection needed to monitor progress
Backcasting Assumptions • Scope 1 emissions largely driven by heat demand and in turn driven by age of building stock • Scope 2 emissions, from electricity, more variable • influenced by learner numbers • efficiency and number of electrical appliances • carbon content of grid electricity
Base Forecasting Assumptions • Scope 1 emissions continues to be driven by refurbishment and new build • Scope 2, electrical, emissions driven: • by learner numbers, driven in turn by demographics • increased electrical efficiency • grid decarbonisation
Further Options • Renewable/low carbon heat: • solar thermal • biomass CHP • gas powered CHP • Anaerobic digester CHP • Renewable/low carbon electricity: • gains from CHP • wind and solar
Reporting Options • Use eMandate to report energy usage and other emissions to be consistent with CRC and DECC requirements: • Scope 1: Gas, Oil, LPG, Coal, Biomass, Vehicle fuels • Scope 2: Grid electricity • Scope 3: Mains Water, Waste to Landfill, Waste to Recycling
