Update - progress

• Costing mechanism– Principle of software agreed– Tools and mechanisms under review

• Meter deployment plan– 60% of campus meters are remotely read– Most of buildings except Sciences blocks and Gibbet

Hill– Ask for your email report / display screen

Update - progress

• DEC’s (display Energy Certificates)– 100 certificates (carpenters to fit)– It is a law requirement to display in visible place

• Students assignments– 18 subjects proposed– Air tightness. , Modelling and optimisation of heating profile, District heating plates retrofit– Install heat recovery on 100% fresh air AHU, Animated / interactive schematic for chiller farm 2– -80 degrees freezers optimisation, Steam plant, Argent Court building retrofit to minimise CO2 emissions– Business case for a CHP + absorption chiller on new Argent Court data centre, – Natural ventilation is Millburn house, Coventry House mechanical ventilation, Contribute to the University

COOLING modelling (several locations), IT footprint– Energy survey (Scarman, Library, Medical school, Millburn house), – U-values Cryfield cottages and Gibbet hill  - Maths houses

CCG subgroup + new intranet

Business cases being submitted

Update - progress

• Carbon Challenge Group– Increase of electricity and water consumption.– Recognise support from Energy Champions to

engage with all stake holders.– Invite new members (IT, Teaching, Research)– Create IT subgroup– Support communication subgroup recommendations:

• For new intranet WebPages to become information hub• WebPages to become Energy Champion toolkit.• Approve communication plan

Update - progress

• Communication plan• Sam Boulby appointed

– Create momentum with “back ground” noise– Positive impact on awareness and support– Sustain University commitment to reduce footprint

• Your input is welcome to multiply news • Also news in your area

7 Months of Carbon management Implementation Plan

What’s happened? The Good The Bad

People have heard of us!

The Estates Office supports us!

It’s getting easier to work with departments and their energy champs!

We’ve got a communications subgroup!

We’re ready for an IT subgroup!

Χ Academic members aren’t generally attending…

Χ We haven’t really created a carbon-related “background noise” yet…

Χ No one sees any initiatives as driven by us…

Χ People are not working together on carbon-related stuff at a cross-campus level yet…

Why aren’t more people bothered?Carbon is a really big deal after all…

Nobody else does it. Why

should I bother?

It’s not in my annual review performance

targets…

Wind turbines? Not in my back

yard!

What difference

could I make anyway? I’m

just one guy…

There’s loads of great stuff going on all over campus…

…BUT……people are not working

together on it.

Like what?

WBS MBA in Global Energy

Professor Sentence teaching Sustainability

Low Carbon Society

WMG Metering and building controls in IIPSI

Empowerment programme with UCL

PC power management project

Engineering Course on sustainability

Students working on feasibility studies

Like what?

Social Sciences Psychology behaviour change project

Edward Page’s carbon-related research

Students Request for green curriculum

Wind turbine project

Sciences City

Enterprises

Partnerships with British Gas, our Suppliers and others

Biodiversity group and allotments

Knowledge in the Community European programme

And loads of other stuff

…HOW?

So the question is…

How do we bring it all together?
