The college has experienced increasing gas and electricity costs due to increasing prices. The colleges carbon baseline for 2015/16 was 2,052 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year (2,052 tCO2/yr), costing the college £437,197/yr. It is likely that emissions would increase if this carbon management plan (CMP) was not introduced.
The college called upon the services of Professional Energy Management Ltd. (PEM). PEM undertook a series of energy audits and produced a carbon management plan (CMP). The CMP provides a clear view of the financial and environmental benefits that implementing the carbon reduction interventions highlighted. In the short-term, there is an opportunity to trial some of the technology interventions such as LED lighting. Additionally, there are several easy to implement ‘quick wins’, for example, plant room insulation and the installation of time and temperature controls that will provide quick payback.
The college is now implementing energy reduction measures highlighted within the CMP commencing with the shortest payback solutions first, for example, plant room insulation.
E-Factor Phase 1 & 2 contract carbon savings
Upon completion of the phase 1 & 2 contracts with E-Factor, we calculated the carbon savings we will have created if our energy conservation measures that we recommended are implemented.
