• Independent charity led by a world class board representing UK industry, academia and the public sector
• Set up to accelerate and facilitate delivery of sustainable communities and cities
• Works with many partners to develop and demonstrate innovative, practical solutions to creating greener and more prosperous places to work and live
• Shares the knowledge/learning widely to speed up best practice, encourage investment, and actively support social and economic development
Institute for Sustainability

• Capture the learning from applied/practical research and demonstration
• Utilise “prior knowledge” – don’t reinvent the wheel
• Convert into practical, accessible information
• Independent and impartial ; well informed/ best practice
• Disseminate and share widely to many audiences for both learning and social/economic/environmental improvement
• Open access / inclusive

Logical / progressive journey for SMEs
• FLASH – low carbon building / retrofit , micro generation
and resource efficiency –developing the solutions and
meeting the challenges
• FLASH+ - building performance evaluation. Proving
what works and what doesnt
8
Logical / progressive journey for SMEs
• Carbon Market Accelerator - facilitating and accelerating
the journey to market of innovative products and technologies
• RE Start Local - improving local procurement processes
and local supply chains for onshore/building renewables
• Total Community Retrofit – bringing it all together in
holistic, integrated solutions

Low Carbon : Low Energy
Sustainable Built Environment
• 80% carbon reduction target by 2050
• Over 40% of CO2 emissions are from buildings –almost 40% from
existing buildings (25% from Housing)
• Over 80% of current buildings will still be in use by 2050
• Reduce energy consumption in existing building stock and increase
use of renewable fuels
10
o 20 million + homes in 40 years
o 4 million social; 16 million private
o 600,000 homes a year for at least 30 years
o £500 billion market – huge opportunity
Eco-retrofit - Housing
Challenge and Opportunity
11
UK Renewable Energy Roadmap
• the challenge is to bring costs down and increase usage
• starting from a low level, UK aims to deliver 15% of energy consumption from renewable sources by 2020
• 8 technologies capable of delivering more than 90% of the renewable energy we need for 2020
•Feed in Tariff / Renewable Heat Incentive ; Green Deal & ECO
•Build local capacity and supply chains
12
Incentives/Finance - driving demand
• Feed in Tariffs (FiT) – 2010 /11
• CERT, CESP, ERDF, Decent Homes, etc. ongoing
• Public/Private sector investment – energy efficiency & renewables
• Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) – 2012 and 2013
• Green Deal (2012), ECO (2013)
• Social and Private Housing programmes – community level schemes
• Social housing is leading the way - Birmingham
- Manchester
- Haringey/North London
- UK wide
13
Do feed-in tariffs work?
Feed-in tariffs (FITs) now used in over 60 countries/states to incentivise uptake of small-scale renewables
Germany: annual installed capacity of PV grew by factor of 70 over 7 years
In 2009 Germany installed 6GW of PV (equivalent of 3 million installations on homes)
Influence of FITs on annual PV installations in Germany (MWp) – source EPIA

Through our ‘Green Deal’, we will encourage home energy efficiency
improvements paid for by savings from energy bills. We will also take measures
to improve energy efficiency in businesses and public sector buildings.

FLASHLow Carbon Building Retrofit
• The £10 million FLASH (Facilitation, Learning and Sharing) programme, part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), aims to support a step change in the built environment industry by engaging London based SMEs with the commercial potential of low carbon building/retrofit, renewable energy generation and resource efficiency
•Through the Institute’s strategic partnership with the Technology Strategy Board businesses can access learning from the UK’s leading retrofit demonstrator projects
• FLASH also helps built environment businesses understand how the low carbon agenda can lead to new business and economic advantage . This includes improving their own operations to help make them more competitive, as well as contributing to carbon reduction targets

FLASH PLUSB u i l d i n g P e r f o r m a n c e E v a l u a ti o n
• measure and evaluate the energy performance of selected eco-
exemplar buildings or schemes (housing & non-housing) across the SE
• combined with feedback from the parties involved on the projects
including clients, developers, architects/consultants, occupiers,
contractors, residents and local communities
• performance results analysed, verified and reviewed, then shared with
FLASH+ members.

R E : S t a r t L o c a l
• current procurement processes (particularly public sector) mitigate against
SMEs
•SMEs tend to avoid public procurement because of perceived and actual
difficulties
•New low carbon/renewable energy programmes favour major providers and
Green Deal / ECO likely to reinforce
•Wide body of goodwill (and self interest) towards more local /SME
procurement and supply... but it takes concerted effort to achieve
•Need for better prepared / better organised local suppliers and supply
chains
30
R E : S t a r t L o c a l
Whats it about ?
31
R E : S t a r t L o c a l
• Clustering of large scale procurers (Councils, HA’s, private Corporates, etc)
to create local investment/supply opportunities for SMEs
•Grouping of SMEs into cooperatives, local supply clusters etc to bid in for
work and large volume supply
•Creation of contractual/commercial frameworks that provide level playing
field for SMEs – Social Value Act 2012, Green Deal, RHI, etc
•Focusing on the renewable technologies and hybrids that have maximum
opportunity for building scale in local regions – biomass, solar PV/solar
thermal, heat pumps etc
•Maximising “pre competition” engagement between procurers and SME
supply chains
32
C l i m a t e M a r k e t A c c e l e r a t o r
• A competition was run as part of the Climate Market Accelerator (CMA) project, which aims to speed up the time it takes for climate change adaptation and mitigation innovations to reach the market
• Market ready and close to market solutions for real world challenges identified by Sainsbury’s. 4 competition winners will demonstrate their innovation at a Sainsbury’s supermarket with the potential to roll out across stores in the UK
• Sustainable Innovations Forums are being set up for property owners, investors and managers in the following areas: commercial/municipal, residential and retail. This competition was the first activity undertaken by the Retail Sustainable Innovations Forum, led by Sainsbury’s
- Sainsburys, Tesco. Waitrose, Marks & Spencer etc
- Land Securities, Hammerson, Grosvenor, Legal & General, Canary Wharf Group etc
- G15 – top 15 major Social Landlords in London/SE ; plus GLA and London Councils

C l i m a t e M a r k e t A c c e l e r a t o r
.
Competition challenge
Sainsbury’s identified two areas where they are still looking for optimal solutions; lighting and water use.
Lighting Lighting accounts for between approximately 14% and 20% of energy use in stores. While investments have been made in new, more efficient products and careful design, there is potential to reduce energy consumption further. Relatively small efficiency savings are important – just a few per cent increase in efficiency could result in significant energy savings when applied to more than 900 stores. Water Sainsbury’s has already reduced its water consumption by one-third to three million m3 per annum and is looking for ways to reduce this further. Rainwater harvesting is already employed, with large roof areas providing more grey water than can be used within stores, where there is still a substantial requirement for clean water, including for cleaning and hot food production areas.
