Location
Context
SDCC has a strong track record in environmental efficiency and developing sustainable communities i.e. Adamstown & Clonburris
Significant experience in carrying out energy efficiency, awareness programmes and building upgrading / refurbishment projects, based on a strong policy structure
Recognised need for civic leadership & a consolidated, co-ordinated, evidence based approach to energy policy development - move from projects being undertaken in isolation
Assist in developing more meaningful engagement with wider energy stakeholders and leveraging funding for energy projects
Sustainable Energy Communities conference in February 2010 –better inform staff and elected members – invited to participate in LEAP project
About LEAP
A European Partnership – 10 organisations from 7 EU Countries
75% support funding from Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE)
Timescale – May 2011 to November 2013
Partner structure – combination of ‘experienced’ and ‘learner’ partners
SDCC recognised as a ‘learner’ partner
LEAP Project Partners
LEAP & South Dublin County
Bridge the gap between EU energy agenda (targets) andessential local action
Institutionalise sustainable energy practice and policy within Local Authority operations
Key Technical Output: Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP)
Assist in the creation of a more competitive and energy efficient local economy
Empower local businesses and homeowners within SDCC to take up the energy challenge
EU Context - Covenant of Mayors
The Covenant of Mayors is the mainstream European movement committing authorities to increasing energy efficiency and use of renewable energy
Covenant signatories aim to voluntarily meet and exceed the EU 20% CO2 reduction target by 2020
A key requirement of the COM is the preparation of a SEAP within a 12 month period
Mayor Caitriona Jones signing the Covenant of Mayors, June 2012

Baseline Emissions Inventory
Full 2006 inventory for energy consumption / CO2 emissions in South Dublin County was undertaken
This baseline year was chosen due to the availability of reliable data i.e. Census of Population and NTA household survey etc
Data was collated under the residential, transport and commercial sectors
Energy baseline for all Council buildings, facilities, public lighting & fleet was also calculated based on 2010 data
BEI was completed in line with Covenant of Mayors guidelines, assistance from CODEMA and Southampton City Council
Where are you?
South Dublin SEAP
SEAP prepared in response to EU and national legislation and policy – including targets
2020 energy targets
SDCC recognises need for a more co-ordinated, evidence based, countywide approach building on
areas that SDCC has experience in
Three guiding principles: Record, Reduce & Replace
1 Covenant of Mayors ˃20% CO2
2 Whole economy ˃ 20% energy demand
3 SDCC > 33% energy demand
4 16% of consumption from renewables

Scenarios to 2020…
2020 Scenarios – SEAI National Energy Efficiency Action Plan / National Renewable Energy Action Plan Scenario – predicts a South Dublin shortfall in energy efficiency target by 13% and CO2 reduction target by 11%
Where do you want to go?
‘Record’ Actions - promote an evidence based approach to energy management and focus on streamlining energy data across sectors e.g. performance indicators, heat mapping and BER data collection
‘Reduce’ Actions – showcase SDCC experience in energy efficiency projects across building stock, facilities and operations, developing citizen involvement campaigns and integrating land use and transport planning
‘Replace’ Actions – set out both a strategic and local approach to developing renewable alternatives –LARES, site specific feasibility – aim to offer encouragement to private sector
SEAP Actions

‘Record’ Actions
REC1 Recording and measuring SDCC large energy users in building stock, public lighting, fleet, drainage and water management
REC2 Identifying Energy Performance Indicators
REC3 Using Sustainable Energy Community (SEC) network to evaluate performance of and share knowledge gained through energy efficiency projects
REC4 Develop a Heat Mapping Tool to geographically represent energy data for buildings across all sectors
REC5 Collection & Analysis of Building Energy Rating (BER)Data
ActionsActions
‘Reduce’ Actions
RED2 Improving efficiencies through South Dublin County Council Energy Awareness campaigns for staff and politicians
RED4 Continue refurbishment of housing stock across South Dublin County through involvement in schemes such as the ‘Warmer Homes Pilot Project’
RED9 SME Energy Initiative
RED11 Schools Energy Initiative
RED13 Personalised Travel Planning projects in South Dublin County
RED5 Continuing energy upgrade of SDCC owned and operated building stock
RED12 Continue the development of sustainable communities policy based on the integration of land use and transport planning

Milestones to date
SEAP approved at May Council meeting and was submitted to Covenant of Mayors in June 2013 for EU verification
‘Connect with Energy’ initiative June 2012 – bringing energysuppliers of goods / services and users together
Continue to leverage funding at national (SEAI, NTA etc) and EU level (IEE, EEEF etc)
Following Tallaght SEC (Sustainable Energy Communities) designation in 2011, the SEAP will continue to progress in tandem with the SEC
Overlap with a new IEE funded project – SPECIAL – Spatial Planning and Energy for Communities in All Landscapes (SPECIAL)
An SDCC Energy Action Team has been set up – cross Departmental and multi
disciplinary
Continuing to develop an evidence based approach to policy development –
Planners & Architects
Staff organised and facilitated a variety of energy related stakeholder
& citizen involvement campaigns, based on LEAP partner experiences
By participating in LEAP staff have been up-skilled
in energy data analysis, project & budget
management, peer to peer working and
plan preparation to EU standards
Developing greater integration between energy
and spatial planning - LARES, renewable feasibility
studies, SPECIAL
Local Authority Up-Skilling
Overlap with
EU Targets
Local projects / initiatives
Political / Institutionalisation
Planning on the ground
SEAP Legacy
Regional / LA Plans
SEAP Development
LA Renewable Energy Strategy
Energy planning in local authorities needs a
co-ordinated, cross-departmental approachwith commitment at senior management level
LEAP has proven that staff need to be up-skilledin energy data collection and analysis
- in response to addressing EU targets
Sustainable Energy Action Plan – useful tool to integrate LA experience to date
and showcase opportunities to encourage private sector investment in energy
Developing links with other local authorities, energy agencies, EU partners –
leading towards a streamlined methodology to energy planning and its integration
with other skills / functions. i.e. planning
Local Authorities are well placed to lead the way and empower a change in
energy use and efficiency at the local level – bottom up approach
Conclusions
Thank you for your attention
