AGENDA
INTRODUCTION
Arup commissioned early 2008 by LSC First step along the way to zero carbon FE colleges Provided research and recommendations
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGSWhat is a zero carbon college?
Supply
On-site Near site Off-site
Demand
Regulated energy Occupant energy Embodied energy
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGSEmissions sources within colleges
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGSHow do we get there?
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGSMinimising demand - modelling
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGSHow much will it cost?
Definition of boundary conditions Current emissions sources within colleges Set interim levels towards zero carbon Improvement levels understood Quantified the cost of the options
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS
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
RECOMMENDATIONSHow do we get there?
A unique opportunity to achieve real life reductions
Annual funding linked to energy targets- Colleges to achieve real-life carbon reductions- Emissions reductions in colleges with no current capital program
Zero carbon colleges by 2016
Trajectory to Zero Carbon
Today 2010 2013 2016 2019 2022
- Response to government targets regarding climate change- Provide clear targets for colleges and funding body

Level 6 colleges provide best value carbon reductions
Incentivise low carbon design- Reduce emissions ahead of mandatory levels- Promote development of low emission colleges
Demand minimisation reduces strain on zero carbon capacity
Prioritise demand minimisation- LZC capability not unlimited
Allow off-site to make zero carbon possible in more colleges
Change Image to lots of on-site turbines
Allow off-site generation- Increase proportion of colleges where zero carbon is possible- Increased cost efficiency
Allow off-site generation- Increase proportion of colleges where zero carbon is possible- Increased cost efficiency
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
SUMMARY
WHAT WE ARE DOING NEXT
Zero carbon new-build design Carbon reductions in existing buildings Operational improvements Energy procurement
