Title of PowerPoint presentationCollaborating by example: Leeds City Council case study on smart and sustainable energy

Leeds• Background to Leeds and Leeds City Council• How can the public sector use its estate to deliver

city wide projects?• Examples of projects in Leeds• The power of open data to achieve innovation

Leeds• > 800,000 population• 550 km2 – 60% Greenbelt (highest in UK)• > 20,000 staff• 20,000 ‘Back-to-Backs’• 7 wards in the 10% most deprived wards in England • 2,000 buildings, 1,000 sites• Annual corporate energy bill c£2m

Estate Carbon Reduction Strategy• Reduce consumption, reduce carbon, save money, increase security of supply,

achieve strategic objectives

Start with the existing network of national infrastructure

Then add the local resources available in Leeds

Bold colours indicate the opportunity is in the process of being realised

Then add the Council assets that can be deployed to utilise local resources

Then add the technological processes that can be used to link local resources to the national infrastructure

Bold colours indicate the opportunity is in the process of being realised

Then add the local infrastructure that is in the process of being developed

Then start to identify the potential infrastructure that could be developed locally

Crucially then make use of smart data and hi speed broadband to link systems together to optimise efficiency turning them into smart resource management systems.

These are the projects which are either in progress or in the pipeline to start to make all of this happen

And these are the anticipated outcomes of an integrated low carbon energy system
