A world-class city, but its buildings lag behind.
In most cases, embedded benefits are not ‘benefits’, but a recognition that distribution connected generators and export from storage do not use the transmission network, and so should not pay for its use.
About 80% of a household’s energy costs are spent on heating and hot water. We need affordable, secure heating while meeting our carbon budgets. As heat accounts for a third of UK greenhouse gas emissions, the UK needs policies that will drive a step change in emissions reduction with a sharp focus on cost.
The project, which is the first of its kind in the UK healthcare sector, will deliver a substantial range of technical energy saving solutions at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, reducing average energy consumption by more than 40% and cutting carbon emissions by 43%.
A green energy makeover will reduce the carbon footprint of Harrogate's Academy Health Club by 306 tonnes per year, equivalent to the environmental benefit of removing more than 100 cars from the roads.
This document highlights the key issues which contractors, consultants and customers should be aware of when considering or installing combined heat and power (CHP) systems. This guidance document’s focus is on CHP units supplying heat in buildings, often less than 1MWe, and typically using reciprocating engines.
By integrating a ground source heat pump and CHP into a Victorian retrofit, Glasgow City Council has managed to cut energy bills by £48,000 and reduce carbon emissions by 90,000 tonnes.
There is an immense opportunity to improve our energy productivity, cutting energy bills, creating jobs and building a stronger economy. Find out how by using our interactive presentation.
Heat Networks: Code of Practice for the UK is the first Code of Practice to be published as a joint project between the Association for Decentralised Energy and CIBSE).
