Buildings: Scale Up Energy Efficiency Measures in Domestic
and NonDomestic Buildings
Following the presentations from the Buildings session, delegates were asked to vote for one of the proposed four projects/initiatives they’d like to see taken forward for development by the SELCC. Once they had selected their preferred project, each table discussed the key considerations and next steps, a summary of which can be found below.
Which Building project / initiative is your favourite?
Scale up energy efficiency measures in domestic/non-domestic buildings
Develop a Local Area Energy Plan (LAEP) for Greenwich
Decarbonise the energy supply - 'Get the gas out!' (including heat networks)
Switch to a green energy supplier
53% of delegates voted for the chosen project
Key Considerations
● Launch a campaign, with appropriate events, to raise awareness of energy efficiency measures.
● Develop local networks to facilitate the sharing of best practices and solutions, such as district heating/cooling systems.
● A central trusted list of approved suppliers, such as retrofitters, should be developed or signposted to for easy access.
● All new builds must adhere to the RBG local level plan to ensure sustainability standards are met.
● Prioritising funding is essential; more resources should be allocated to enable businesses to implement sustainability measures effectively.
Next steps and actions
● SELCC to hold events on energy efficiency, in particular on council retrofitting.
● Set up a SELCC Sustainability Group for member businesses.
