  1. Fabric First "When you've spent half your political life dealing with humdrum issues like the environment, it's exciting to have a real crisis on your hands." Margaret Thatcher- 1982, commenting on the Falkland Islands War .

  2. Fabric First "What we are now doing to the world … is new in the experience of the Earth. It is mankind and his activities that are changing the environment of our planet in damaging and dangerous ways. The result is that change in future is likely to be more fundamental and more widespread than anything we have known hitherto. Change to the sea around us, change to the atmosphere above, leading in turn to change in the world's climate, which could alter the way we live in the most fundamental way of all”. Margaret Thatcher- to the UN general assembly, November 1989

  3. ZERO CARBON HUB The Zero Carbon Hub

  4. ROLE OF THE ZERO CARBON HUB • PURPOSE AND STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES • Facilitate the mainstream delivery of low and zero carbon homes working across boarders • Provide leadership and • create confidence • Reduce risk • Disseminate information New Non-Residential New Homes Existing Non-Residential Existing Homes

  5. VIABILITY

  6. 2016 TIMELINE OVERHEATING PERFORMANCE GAP

  7. UK Government And European Policy & the Zero Carbon Agenda

  8. 2013 Budget The Government is committed to implementing ‘zero carbon homes’ from 2016. The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) will publish a detailed plan, setting out its response to the 2012 consultation on the energy efficiency requirements in building regulations, by May 2013. The Government will then consult on next steps, including on the means of delivering allowable solutions by Summer Recess.

  9. Meeting Zero Carbon Targets Zero Carbon = Solutions addressing the carbon emission reductions that are difficult to achieve on site 5% Complete Allowable solutions + Carbon Compliance =On-site heat and power generation On-site low/zero carbon energy (and connected heat) 75% Complete + 95% Complete Energy efficiency Building fabricperformance The Zero Carbon Hierarchy.

  10. The Zero Carbon Journey • DECC Heat strategy 2013 • Energy Performance • Building Directive • Review of Standards 12

  11. CARBON CULPRITS

  12. DEVELOPMENT LAYOUTS Additional Considerations • Site Conditions: • Access • Location (regional weather) • Ground conditions • Flood risk • Existing trees, water bodies etc • Local energy resource – source for biomass, wind conditions etc • Existing district heating network • Planning: • Dwelling type mix/ density • Built form considerations - roof pitch, building height etc • PV and solar panels • Local Renewable targets • Site Layout: • Dwelling types • Design for solar technologies: • Orientation for solar technology • Roof pitch • Over-shading • Other: • Localism What is the Energy Strategy?

  13. Overheating

  14. 8 6 4 2 0 observations Medium-High emissions Temperature change, °C THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE Increase in the number of extremely warm days (2080s) Winter: 6-12 days/year Summer: 12-30 days/year Source: Peter Stott, Hadley Centre
