A ROUTE TO ZERO CARBON for FE colleges

This report provides research, recommendations, and findings on achieving zero carbon emissions in Further Education (FE) colleges. It explores strategies for demand minimization, on-site and off-site energy supply, and the cost implications of achieving zero carbon. The report also presents recommendations for increasing data collection, funding linked to energy targets, incentivizing low carbon design, and prioritizing demand minimization.

  1. A ROUTE TO ZERO CARBON for FE colleges

  2. AGENDA • INTRODUCTION • BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS • RECOMMENDATIONS • SUMMARY • WHAT WE ARE DOING NEXT

  3. INTRODUCTION • Arup commissioned early 2008 by LSC • First step along the way to zero carbon FE colleges • Provided research and recommendations

  4. Demand Regulated energy Occupant energy Embodied energy Supply On-site Near site Off-site BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS What is a zero carbon college?

  5. BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS Emissions sources within colleges

  6. BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS How do we get there?

  7. BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS Minimising demand - modelling

  8. BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS How much will it cost?

  9. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS • Definition of boundary conditions • Current emissions sources within colleges • Set interim levels towards zero carbon • Improvement levels understood • Quantified the cost of the options

  10. RECOMMENDATIONS How do we get there? • Increase scope of data collection • Annual funding linked to energy targets • Trajectory to zero carbon • Incentivise low carbon design • Prioritise demand minimisation • Allow off-site generation

  11. A unique opportunity to achieve real life reductions

  12. Annual funding linked to energy targets - Colleges to achieve real-life carbon reductions - Emissions reductions in colleges with no current capital program

  13. Zero carbon colleges by 2016

  14. Trajectory to Zero Carbon - Response to government targets regarding climate change - Provide clear targets for colleges and funding body Schools LSC Homes Building Regs Regulated Unregulated Today 2010 2013 2016 2019 2022

  15. Level 6 colleges provide best value carbon reductions

  16. Incentivise low carbon design - Reduce emissions ahead of mandatory levels - Promote development of low emission colleges

  17. Demand minimisation reduces strain on zero carbon capacity

  18. Prioritise demand minimisation - LZC capability not unlimited

  19. Allow off-site to make zero carbon possible in more colleges Change Image to lots of on-site turbines

  20. Allow off-site generation - Increase proportion of colleges where zero carbon is possible - Increased cost efficiency

  21. Allow off-site generation - Increase proportion of colleges where zero carbon is possible - Increased cost efficiency

  22. SUMMARY • Provide understanding of the current situation • A unique opportunity to achieve real-life reductions • Zero carbon colleges by 2016 • Level 6 colleges give maximum carbon savings • Demand minimisation reduces strain on zero carbon capacity • Allow off-site to make zero carbon possible in more colleges

  23. WHAT WE ARE DOING NEXT • Zero carbon new-build design • Carbon reductions in existing buildings • Operational improvements • Energy procurement
