Chief Executive at The Energy Managers Association

EMA CEO’s Welcome

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2016

The development of the energy management profession is at the heart of the Energy Managers Association (EMA) and the objectives of the EMA are the same now as they were over four years ago when I set up the Association. The simple blueprint that we established was to gather professionals in energy management, encourage them to exchange their knowledge and expertise and demonstrate best practice.

4

Three years ago, we added another level to our blueprint – energy management exhibition – EMEX. In its third year and as ambitious as ever, EMEX is soon opening its doors to energy management professionals across all industries. If you have yet to decide about your attendance, have a peek into the exhibition’s guide embedded within this issue.

The EMA’s internal vision of what the career path for energy managers would look like started taking shape earlier this year.

With the introduction of the Knowledge and Skills Gap Analysis Interview and portfolio of topical courses relevant to those new to energy management as well as those established in the

profession, energy managers can develop their career and increase the impact of their role.

We are on an exciting journey. Whilst in the past energy management seemed staid and boring, and energy efficiency a backwater often ignored by companies, that is no longer the case. We will continue to contribute to the boosting of the energy management profile of organisations and amongst individuals. Energy awareness training and the launch of a digital energy management platform, Energy Management Hub, are only a couple of examples of our next steps and extensions of the initial EMA blueprint.

We are excited this magazine offers an opportunity to share with you all the insights we are gaining in our journey. Thank you for taking the time to explore another issue of the EMA Magazine. Enjoy the read and see you at EMEX. Yours, Rupert Redesdale CEO, EMA

Energy Management Hub — Platform Dedicated to Energy Managers One problem that Energy Managers have faced is that there is no structured, dedicated platform on which EMA members and the wider energy management community can access knowledge and training, connect and interact and share best practice.

The Hub will be a place to engage, learn and inspire, a place that will enable you to connect with professionals sharing the same interests, enhance your knowledge, advance your professional status and develop your organisational excellence, all this on one dedicated Energy Management Hub.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2016

The reason is that to build such a platform is expensive and time consuming, but we built it anyway and will be launching it at EMEX.

We designed it as a community platform helping the energy management community to seek advice or debate the pros and cons of specific solutions. Energy Managers often find themselves inundated with information; the internet can throw enormous amount of information out, without any of the detail you need.

first participants invited to trial out the Hub and its features at the energy management exhibition – EMEX. The Hub users will be able to take online courses, post interesting thoughts, raise a discussion point and showcase their successes within the field of energy management. The effective use of the Hub will allow users to become part of a vibrant and well-informed energy management community.

Association together with Tata Consultancy Services has developed the Energy Management Hub.

The EMA membership has grown substantially and many of our members will have faced the problems you are trying to solve and will have solutions that have been tried, tested and costed.

The Hub will be your access to that resource.

Could Deregulation End up Costing you More? Not if you Look Beyond Just the Price.

There is a slight irony that the introduction of the deregulated water marketplace could end up costing a large number of customers more than the present system. The reason is simple, the new water retail companies are allowed to charge between 2–6% on the water bill to pay for the billing service, and this will need to be paid for. Companies that do sign up to more competitive rates however could make significant savings.

So where can these savings be found? The idea is that competition will drive down margins, and companies will have to increase their level of service to retain customers. The problem is that only a small proportion of customers know about the deregulation (not our readers of course because we have been banging on about it for ages) and so will just take up the default tariff the new water retail company they are transferred to sets. No savings there then. If your company does this then you have had no benefit from the change. This is going to be the position of many companies, as the energy sector has clearly shown, apathy wins out over switching hands down. Realistically there is also possibly a valid reason not to switch – on bills that are not very large, it really may not be worth the bother.

marketplace so far is small, and this is not likely to change by April 2017 when trading begins. However, as the numbers increase or those with retail licences start to compete to keep customers, some new innovative products should start to emerge.

Water retail companies operating on tight margins will need to offer services not on the margins, but on how much they can reduce the amount of water usage. Simple billing may be of some value but being helped to reduce the amount you use could be worth a great deal more, and customers will be prepared to pay for those savings if it reduces their overall bill.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2016

For members of the EMA, with the amount of water they purchase, there is absolutely a case for making sure you have the best deal. The number of water companies entering the

The model that most

companies will adopt is basically water performance contracting.

”

The model that most companies will adopt is basically water performance contracting. They will need to show their customers the added value of reducing consumption and therefore making money not on the sale of water but on the services that they can sell to reduce consumption. The use of water in the UK is gloriously profligate in the myriad ways we waste water. However, there are also a large number of ways to save water, such as leak detection, water efficient kit, meters, monitoring and the list goes on; all can be used to make significant savings. The reductions can be paid for through charges or shared savings. This is basically an energy performance model that can

be operated off balance sheet.

This model will become the most prevalent for large customers whilst small customers might end up bundling water in with other utility contracts. The decision is going to rest with the energy manager.

In effect, how you deal with your water bill is going to be on how you measure and value your water.

One important point is that the cost of water in the future is going to closely mimic energy. Prices are likely to rise, especially as water has an inbuilt energy cost, but mainly due to scarcity. The change in rain fall patterns due to climate change could make supplying water at different times of the year difficult. The last drought order was dubbed the wettest drought in history as a hosepipe ban came into effect during prolonged periods of rain.

The problem for the water sector is that short sharp downpours tend to end up in the sea not in the aquifers the country relies on.

On a brighter note, deregulation might be just the tool to bring about major savings. However, one last note of warning, many companies have been hit with hidden charges in their contracts in the energy marketplace – why shouldn’t transparency in charges and rates be mandatory from April 2017? Just a thought.

The water market deregulation will be discussed on 16–17 November at EMEX in the Utilities and Energy Services theatre.

Can We Run the UK on Batteries?

Dynamic Response Could be the Answer.

Demand Side Response (DSR) is the issue of the moment; OFGEM is looking to find 2 gigawatts to balance the peak use of electricity and is going to consultation to identify how to achieve this target. DSR has been seen as the solution, and whilst this is a valuable technology, most members we have talked to are, to say the least, sceptical that there is enough available amount of demand side reduction that is needed.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2016

Indeed, some of our members who work for the larger companies are not keen on even going down this route for two simple reasons: the return on investment is not attractive and, for those with critical systems, there is the unacceptable risk associated with giving over control of power supply to a third party.

10

The answer could be demand response but as a demand solution rather than dictated by supply.

Supply has always operated by supplying electricity to meet peak demand with a margin of excess generation. Why could demand not be managed to iron out the peaks and troughs, which would reduce the difference in load between peak

and off-peak periods? This can be achieved by managing demand through storage which would allow load shifting.

How could we shift hundreds of megawatts, the amount of electricity that would be large enough to make a difference? The answer could be storage through thousands of large scale batteries. Batteries have been tried and tested, and the technology can be installed now and with the ramping up of production could be in all large buildings in the country within a decade. The batteries could be used not only to reduce cost but would give companies security of supply at a time when supply uncertainty and raising costs are certain.

Dynamic Response is the term the EMA is using to describe this system.

The concept is simple, companies charge batteries at off-peak periods and then use the batteries at peak to reduce their power demand. This would require large batteries ranging from 100 KWH to over a megawatt and thousands of them.

The majority of the batteries installed would be managed by aggregators who would be able to measure

demand reduction achieved and trade the reduction on the electricity market. A megawatt of demand reduction should command the same price as a megawatt of generation.

The periods of reduction could be contracted with the system operator or possibly traded at the spot price.

The installation of batteries at scale would produce virtual power stations that we envisage could be brought online at scale at a moment’s notice. Imagine if each facilities’ management company started installing batteries as a matter of course; this really would be a disruptive technology that could be a major element in levelling the demand supply issues of the grid.

How practical is this in the real world? At present, the numbers do not quite add up, but that is probably because all the potential income streams are not being taken in to account. The benefits could be costed and make batteries very competitive on the open market.

The income streams would start with the amount saved by companies reducing the cost of electricity bought at peak times. This would give a secure income over the

lifetime of the batteries which is around ten years if used once a day. The reduction in peak time use would also reduce transmission charges, DUoS and TNUoS. Charging batteries at off peak periods would be cheap but there could be another added benefit if the rate was reduced further if, for example, the batteries were also used to soak up excess export from renewables or other generators at off peak periods. This would optimise renewable generation and mean that intermittent generation could be fully utilised. PPAs between renewable generators and battery operators may also become common. The last income stream is trading demand reduction at the same rate as supply.

This would require changes to the electricity codes, but it could be quite achievable.

Companies could make further savings through replacing diesel generators. Diesel gen sets are heavy

in carbon and they are difficult to maintain in built up areas, as only hospitals are allowed to run them regularly for maintenance, due to their harmful level of emissions.

Replacing what essentially is a wasted asset rarely used, with batteries that can generate income on a daily basis has to be a good trade.

One final point is that to help batteries reach a scale to effect the operation of the grid, the Government might need to set up a variety of financial measures to encourage their roll out. One idea would be to secure cheap money through a Government bond which would reduce costs and show a return on investment in infrastructure for the country.

The EMA is working with a group of companies, including National Grid, Servest, SMA Solar Technology AG and SolaX Power, and academics from around the country to

identifying the changes in regulation and legislation that would be necessary in order to make Dynamic Response part of the solution to the ultimate goal of levelling the grid.

The EMA is a demand side organisation; Dynamic Response is based around using batteries where they are most effective, on the other side of the meter to meet the need and on the sites that our members operate. It is a smart grid solution managing demand rather than forever increasing supply, and installing batteries may well be part of your responsibilities in a few years’ time.

Lord Redesdale will be discussing the Dynamic Response concept at EMEX on 16 November at 12:30-13:00 in the Meeting Energy Demand Theatre.

nite Students is a FTSE250 listed pioneer and leader of the £5.8 billion purpose built student accommodation (PBSA) real estate sector. Celebrating our 25th anniversary this year, we develop and manage safe, high quality and bills-inclusive homes for over 50,000 students in 140 properties across 28 cities.

Our core purpose is providing students with a home for success.

This means offering a safe, comfortable and sustainable environment which enables them to achieve more during their time at University.

The Case for Change Utilities are a significant operating cost, and we recognise the need to reduce our environmental impact.

Our environment strategy targets our most materially significant aspects: energy and carbon, water use, and resource use and waste. This is framed by our wider responsible

business strategy called Up to uS which is our commitment to act responsibly and sustainably, while providing our students a strong foundation for academic and personal success. Up to uS aims to reduce our environmental impact, create an inclusive and positive workplace, contribute to the communities we operate in and build trust and resilience.

We focus on two complementary areas: enabling and encouraging sustainable behaviour, and creating sustainable buildings.

Over the last few years, we’ve built up our Energy & Environment team around this strategy, reflecting the importance we attach to it as a business.

Sustainable Behaviour Students in general place great importance on environmental issues, but are nonetheless human and so, like us all, don’t always follow the

behaviours they know they should.

Recognising our unique opportunity to help over 50,000 students every year live more sustainably, we’ve created a bespoke engagement programme.

Our sustainable behaviour team develop and facilitate initiatives at national, local and individual level, using a mix of fun activities, education and information to raise awareness and change behaviour.

They work with our volunteer employee sustainability champions, and recruit student volunteers to assist in the implementation and auditing of a tailored workbook following the NUS’s Green Impact scheme. This year, we’re launching an energy dashboard to help students to understand and control their energy use, and introducing a pledging scheme in partnership with the DoNation to encourage them to maintain environmentally positive behaviours.

Our ultimate ambition is to drive lasting behavioural change, helping

(appliances and cooking), and some landlord services (such as lifts and pumps). Most sites use local electric heating and electric emersions (c.80% of sites) and flat level heat-recovery ventilation rather than complex central building services.

Despite this apparent simplicity, however, the range of variables such as construction specification, age, condition, utility tariffs, TNUoS/DUoS charges, physical layout, locale, term dates and tenancy types, mean there are few simple single solutions that can be rolled out wholesale.

These will in turn inform an intelligence-led master plan in 2017, consolidating and prioritising all opportunities based on hard data.

Taking account of our unique estate and strategic asset management plan, it will build the business case for a co-ordinated and comprehensive programme of works. This will ensure compliance with MEES and the next phase of ESOS, and help deliver our ambitious Science Based carbon reduction commitment.

Reduce our environmental impact, and encourage responsible behaviour in our students , employees and suppliers.

IMPACTS

students form enduring sustainable living habits. We are working to see how we can quantify and reinforce this positive change after students have left us. In this way, we hope to create a unique legacy of responsible behaviour in our alumni, increasing our impact beyond the boundary of our operational control.

Understanding the unique circumstances and specific opportunities of every site, and identifying the most appropriate solutions, is therefore essential. In 2015, we combined ESOS with a full update to all EPCs, creating a core of critical information and data. We are building on this in 2016 with detailed site level surveys undertaken by our team of regional energy efficiency

managers, using a bespoke digital survey and reporting tool. This will create individual Building Water and Energy Efficiency Plans (BWEEPs) for every site, identifying costed, ready to deploy solutions for energy, carbon and water following a hierarchy from “good housekeeping” measures through to wholesale replacement with low-energy/carbon technology.

Energy supply: Meeting our science based carbon targets will need more than just kWh savings. We are looking at how best to decarbonise our energy through robust supply agreements that deliver genuine carbon savings by guaranteeing additionality, as well as options for onsite renewable generation, demand side management and storage.

Summary

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2016

Figure above presents a hierarchy of different solutions are developed, with potential energy, carbon & water saving technologies progressing through our solutions pipeline to validate their business case and ensure they work for us without impacting on customer satisfaction or creating unintended operational problems.

14

We are currently piloting wireless digital controls that use a mesh network of sensors and power sensing relays to monitor and control electric heating and hot water. This internet-of-things approach could unlock increased energy & cost savings, operational efficiencies, and customer satisfaction benefits through wider digital integration such as live weather data and forecast feeds, automated condition monitoring, fault reporting and reactive maintenance scheduling.

Given the prevalence of direct electric heating and hot water across our estate, we are also working to understand the synergy between onsite renewable generation, dynamic demand side management, and onsite energy storage in our buildings which offers potentially significant energy and costs savings.

There is further opportunity through combining this with technologies such as infra-red heating currently being piloted to replace standard electric

radiators, and air-source heat pumps being trialled to replace existing electric emersion water heaters.

The holistic application of a range of measures is exactly the type of solution our BWEEP programme seeks to deliver.

The BWEEP programme follows on from various successful energy efficiency projects, including an ongoing £21m LED lighting and controls upgrade due to finish in 2017, optimisation of existing direct electric heating controllers completed in 2015, and the introduction of electronic TRVs on wet heating systems. These have already delivered significant energy and carbon savings, helping deliver a 10% reduction in electricity use per bed in 2015 vs. 2014.

There is no silver bullet in energy management. Our wide range of buildings – from a listed 18th century priory, through converted 60’s office blocks, to purpose built modern accommodation with complex building services – demand a broad spectrum of solutions. However, by engaging our students and employees, developing a detailed understanding of our buildings, and also looking at energy supply, generation and storage, we are confident we can deliver ambitious carbon, energy and water savings and create a lasting legacy of sustainable behaviour in 50,000 young adults every year.

The Unite Student’s team will be presenting at EMEX on 17 November at 11:50-12:20 in the Meeting Energy Demand Theatre.

Boost Your Energy Management Knowledge

16

Energy Management professionals are perfectly placed to assist organisations in strategic planning and development. It is not only the challenges of procuring energy, meeting carbon reduction targets, complying with environmental regulations and assessing building management systems that an energy manager’s role embodies; their role is much more complex and constantly evolving. Unless you were looking to achieve the chartered status or become a consultant, the energy manager’s position has been undefined in the past and without any clear path for professional development.

Bearing this in mind, the EMA brainstormed and sought directions from a number of experienced and established energy managers and produced an Energy Management in Practice training programme (LEC 3) for all those aiming to develop as fully recognised energy managers.

The programme has been designed with two audiences in mind, those at the start of their

career and those who are experienced professionals. Let me first mention our focus on novices to energy management who we would encourage to start with the Introduction to Energy Management course as a must-do first step on their journey to becoming an energy manager. Our second audience is those professionals already in the industry taking the opportunity to develop in one of the EMA ten core competencies of energy management. Amongst

these competencies are Energy Assessments and Measurement & Verification, Energy Management Strategy, Behavioural Change, Water Management, Energy Procurement, Technical and Operational and others. These courses will help professionals to upskill, become competent and able to handle any shifts in the market, and contribute to forward-looking organisational strategic energy management.

EMA Energy Management in Practice Training Programme

The EMA training programme offers flexibility and reflects the need to embed energy management within an individual’s remit but also within entire teams who could benefit from a generic energy management overview or specific topical training, to start engaging on their energy change programmes. Only organisations, whose employees are able to understand the importance of managing their energy and their impact on long-term business

performance, will succeed in operating in an increasingly uncertain economy combined with constantly raising energy costs.

We understand that delivering the Energy Management in Practice programme is an evolution. Our objective is to recognise expanding competencies of energy managers, keep the programme relevant and promote innovative energy management solutions through learning and discussions.

To assure the quality and applicability, our courses are developed, reviewed and delivered by experienced professionals and industry experts.

In addition to the Energy Management in Practice training, the EMA has developed an energy awareness programme that is appropriate for all energy users, not only for those whose full- or part-time role is managing an organisation’s energy. In the energy management and energy efficiency world, programmes targeting an individual’s energy consumption

awareness have been gaining popularity recently.

Programmes that reduce energy use by targeting an individual’s behaviour are the low hanging fruit approach to energy efficiency, and the EMA’s contribution to this is a development of the Energy Awareness course (LEC 1) for individuals as well as organisations.

Behaviour change is often seen as in the ‘too difficult to do’ box and we would like to assist our members in embedding employee training within

competencies of energy managers, keep the programme relevant and promote innovative energy management solutions through learning and discussions.

their organisational practices. The aim is not only to make companies aware of the value or indeed the necessity of energy awareness training, but also to make the energy managers of the future focus on an area they have often avoided in the past. Energy reduction through an individual’s adjustment of consumption is no longer an option, it is a strategic necessity. Organisations who engage their workforce in basic energy awareness training will be recognised and awarded LEC Gold, Silver or Bronze status which demonstrates their commitment towards managing energy demand and environmental responsibility.

”

Awareness and energy literacy developed and sustained within the organisational practices, across its value and procurement chains will have a positive impact on the business dimension within the market, but also internally. Energy management can be undertaken through a variety of ways, and we embrace to capture this evolving trend and the changing demands of the market. Increasing energy costs won’t go away, and neither will climate change issues. Energy management professionals and their organisations have a key role in helping to recognise this and apply changes.

The EMA’s training programmes will be explained during the following seminar sessions at EMEX in the ‘Energy Management as a Profession’ Theatre.

CAREER & TRAINING by

PETER BOWEN

Group Quality Manager at Robertson Group

In the spotlight

E

nergy management is a broad subject and when it comes to a job description can cover a variety of activities. The EMA gathers energy management professionals from across all industries and in this regular section will interview energy management professionals about their role. This month we are shining the spotlight on Peter Bowen, Group Quality Manager at Robertson Group.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2016

How did you become interested in energy management?

18

I guess my first real involvement with energy management has been through the implementation of environmental management systems across a number of businesses I have worked within. Part of the process is to evaluate the way the activities of a business impact the environment. Identify those impacts that are significant, then work to mitigate or reduce them. In my experience, most businesses will rank energy consumption as a significant impact. This has been the case for businesses I have worked in, both within manufacturing and facilities management.

So for me, what better way is there to demonstrate effective energy management than to adopt the processes and systems prescribed through the ISO 50001 Energy Management System and certify to the standard. It has really been this process that has been the main driver for my interest in energy management.

Your job title does not specifically suggest that

you are involved with energy management at Robertson Group. What does your role entails?

Energy management and ISO 50001 is just part of my role, which involves the implementation and administration of a variety of management system standards, including ISO 9001 Quality, ISO 14001 Environment, PEFC timber sustainability and working with our SHEQ team for the effective management of our OHSAS 18001 Health & Safety Management System.

Achieving certification through an accreditation body is one thing, but ensuring the relevant processes become established, adding benefit and value to the day-to-day operations, is by far the greatest challenge.

What is the most exciting part of your job?

When you have been working hard to implement a particular process or system and you have that eureka or breakthrough moment, when the process suddenly falls into place and you can confidently move onto the next area. It is a great feeling,

and also of course when you have implemented a system and it is independently verified by an external accrediting body.

What is the most frustrating part of your job?

Going back to a process or system previously implemented, to find that slippage has occurred and you have to start again, rethinking the approach. Frustrating yes, but it is all part of the continual improvement process with the resulting system becoming more robust and more embedded into culture than previously.

Can you describe your typical day?

I don’t really have a typical day; management systems require the delivery and preparation of very specific things, thankfully generally at different times.

I have to make sure our management system processes run smoothly and comply with the requirements of each standard, ensuring we maintain successful ongoing certification.

This can include keeping abreast of legislation, conducting audits and accompanying external auditors, producing reports, data and information gathering relating to our performance, overseeing energy software capabilities and energy reporting structure, and embracing the concept of continual improvement.

I also have a number of projects on the go. Last year it was ESOS

compliance for Robertson Group and this year it’s the feasibility of rolling out ISO 50001 across the other business sectors of the Group.

What drives you?

I like to keep busy, especially with new challenges. The diversity of my role and the travelling means I get to meet plenty of new people and get to experience and learn about a variety of processes throughout a wide range of industries.

What qualities should a good energy manager possess?

The ability to keep it real: energy baffles many people, and if you want to captivate them, put everything in terms that can be easily understood.

Over-complication switches the very people off who we need to have on board.

Open-mindedness, a willingness

the global economy?

For me it’s education and awareness.

We so often see folk being frugal with energy use at home, but when someone else is paying the bill all common sense goes out the window.

Legislation is one method, but is very often met with scepticism.

Education should be a key part of the school curriculum. Instil the correct reasoning and methodology at an early age and throughout schooling, and subsequent generations will be equipped with the correct toolkit to revolutionise the change.

to learn and never taking things at face value. Question everything; if it sounds too good to be true it probably is, and the energy management sector is no different in this respect.

What is your greatest contribution to the energy management sector or your current role?

Convincing the business to resource the implementation of the ISO 50001 energy management standard and associated processes, and taking this through to certification for a portfolio that covers over 100 buildings across Scotland and the North of England. This process has really put energy management and energy performance improvement firmly into the spotlight.

What advice would you give to someone looking to craft a generation strategy?

Look toward the ISO 50001 Energy Management Standard. It’s a ready crafted and proven system that covers all the key areas that should be considered.

It’s a Wonderful World, Man!

A

t the EMA, we’re continuing in our quest to encourage more women into the wonderful world that is Energy Management. Our recent networking events have been really well received and the great news is that those attending really value what we’re trying to achieve.

A recent survey by edie Live confirms that women are still paid 22.5% less than men in the sustainability sector - their survey concluded that to have the best chance of achieving a high salary in the sector you have to be a man, working in utilities, in London.

Of course those are generalised results from a snapshot survey and there are always exceptions, but I’d say it’s not far off the mark.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2016

Furthermore, the equalities watchdog confirms that there are still far fewer women in top boardroom jobs than there should be, citing “old boy’s networks” and opaque recruitment as the reason why women don’t generally make it to the top ranks.

20

Whilst this may all sound quite depressing, it actually makes us more determined to encourage all of the

talented ladies working in the sector to demonstrate that they are just as worthy as their male counterparts.

We most certainly know their worth, and it’s about time the rest of the sector caught up.

At our previous events our audience has told us that what they need is guidance from other women in the industry. Mentoring is a key theme that has come up again and again and we are happy to facilitate. In actual fact, I know from valuable experience the mentor gets just as much out of the process as the mentee, so is an excellent process for all.

We’ll be talking more about mentoring at EMEX – and will also be asking you what your hot topics are. Providing mentorship is about answering your questions and providing the guidance you need, so come along to the EMA area at EMEX and let us know what you want us to offer.

Energy Management is a mixture of common sense, organisational skills, negotiation, engagement and persuasion, application of specific

knowledge and methodical working.

Does that sound familiar ladies?

But what it also is, to me at least, is the outlet for the part of me that is not just wife and mother – the part that wants to succeed at a ‘normal’ job and that clearly shows that I can make a difference. It is varied work so keeps boredom at bay, it’s fast, furious and stressful at times, but it keeps my brain in gear and my aspirations satisfied – and it’s a wonderful world to be a part of.

Llumarlite brightens workspaces - saving energy and money When NES Healthcare moved its Operations and Training Centre into new premises in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, in June 2015, the building had been vacant for some time and was in desperate need of refurbishment.

Decorating and reconfiguring the building helped to a degree but the offices, training facilities and boardroom were still gloomy and depressing.

Operations Director, Justyn Tollyfield, asked Llumarlite to survey the building, design, supply and install lighting solutions to create an uplifting and dynamic working environment.

“The old lighting was getting people down. It was the traditional, old style lighting with pools of light immediately below fixtures and then gloomy areas elsewhere.”

“It was also the first time we’d had a proper boardroom so we were looking for innovative and interesting solutions,” he said.

“The old lighting was getting people down.”

Llumarlite developed a range of options including a suspended lighting feature in the boardroom with a controllable lighting array and custom blue insert to complement NES’ corporate colours.

Llumarlite also installed recessed LED luminaires throughout the offices and training room.

Technical Director at Carbon2018

Mastering EPCs to Protect Investment Yield It seems that today there is an art to the production of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) to ensure that companies attain the best possible score. Gone are the days of just ticking the compliance box in order to secure a sale or letting. The introduction of the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) means that today’s EPC is all about quality and strategy to maximise the rating and protect asset value.

obsolescence. Here I discuss five key factors to mitigating risk and maximising opportunities which will ultimately help to protect asset value.

Portfolio risk analysis The starting point in developing a strategic EPC plan is to undertake a portfolio risk analysis. Firstly, any properties which already have an EPC falling below the minimum standard need to be identified as these present an immediate threat. Secondly, for any building where an EPC does not exist this needs to be produced, at least in draft, in order to assess the risk.

We have delivered hundreds of EPCs since their introduction in 2008 across commercial buildings of all shapes and sizes. Yet although these documents have been in existence for almost a decade it is only in the last 12 months that we have seen companies wake up to the importance of the EPC rating.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2016

The drive is now on to get the best possible score because from April 2018, buildings with a rating below an E grade will not be permitted to be let, either via new leases or renewals. Whilst it is not envisaged that tenants will be removed where buildings fail to meet the minimum standard, landlords who fail to comply with the legislation could face significant fines.

22

“

There is evidence that tenants and investors alike are also sitting up and taking notice of EPC scores, the former when selecting their office of choice and the latter when making investment decisions.

Whilst the government has set the minimum energy efficiency standard at a grade E EPC, the market is raising the bar with many investors refusing to lend on any properties with an EPC grade lower than a D or in some cases a C. So when thinking about the EPC for your property there are many factors to consider and a strategy has to be formulated to avoid putting your building at risk of sustainable

The final step in the analysis is to review the completion dates for the EPCs. With each release of updates to building regulations, the EPC software is updated making it more difficult to retain the same score.

During the major reclassification of the EPC grading in 2011 we saw ratings fall by as much as 2 or 3 bands in some cases. Therefore where

fared particularly poorly under the software changes - we have seen the EPC ratings for some properties with air cooled air conditioning systems change significantly in response to the software updates. Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems appear to be by far the worst offenders under the software changes with several properties with VAV systems falling by as much as 2 or 3 ratings when re-run on the latest software. Understanding the systems in buildings across your portfolio can highlight the areas which require focus first.

Set the correct level There are 3 levels of EPC for commercial buildings with the correct level selected dependent on the complexity and sophistication of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. Level 3 EPCs are used for simple buildings with a heating capacity of less than 100 kW and a cooling capacity of less than 12 kW, with Level 4 used where system capacities exceed these thresholds or where centralised air conditioning systems exist.

Whilst the government has set the minimum energy efficiency standard at a grade E EPC, the market is raising the bar with many investors refusing to lend on any properties with an EPC grade lower than a D or in some cases a C. .

”

EPCs were produced prior to 2011 and received an E, D or possibly even a C rating, a new draft EPC should be produced to establish the risk level.

Understand your portfolio and identify the worst offenders Whilst it is well understood that older and less efficient systems receive the poorest scores, our analysis has highlighted that some building services system types have

A smaller number of commercial buildings with very complex systems require a Level 5 EPC, which uses Dynamic Simulation Modelling (DSM) to account for these complexities. Level 5 EPCs are required for buildings which have atria, automatic blind controls or curved glass. Although this requirement exists, we have seen a number of buildings which fall under the requirement for a Level 5 EPC, but where Level 4 EPCs have been commissioned using techniques to pass an audit by the accreditation body to simply tick the compliance box. We always recommend that for large complex buildings a Level 5 EPC is undertaken, even if this is not mandatory.

EPCs use a piece of software to model the building and where certain information is not available, default values can be used. Before undertaking any upgrade works requiring capital investment, ensure that the EPC is as accurate as it can be. In several instances, replacing defaults with actual data can help push the score up a few points and where EPCs are at the top end of a band, could be the difference between a lower and a higher grade, or even the difference between being able to let a property or not where the score is on the border of an E and F grade. Spending time working with your EPC assessor to ensure the information required is available can save expense further down the line as for every point you improve the score, the lesser the extent of capital upgrade works required.

Some of the common areas where we have been able to make significant

improvements by ensuring the most accurate information is used are air permeability, lighting, upgrade works and U-values.

What area to cover?

Another factor to consider is the area that the EPC is to cover. There is much debate about the pros and cons of an EPC covering a whole building or multiple EPCs covering each floor separately as the score can vary depending on how this is split.

To determine the most appropriate solution for your property spend some time with your EPC Assessor discussing the long term plans for the building. Factors such as occupancy, length of existing leases, planned refurbishment works and planned sales all impact decisions on the area to cover under the EPC. For example, where there is a rolling programme of refurbishments as floors become vacant, prior to re-letting, the best strategy is to compete an EPC for each floor after it is finished in order

to obtain the best possible rating for marketing that floor. A whole building EPC would receive a poorer score as it would include those floors which hadn’t yet been refurbished.

Summary In summary, the EPC market is undergoing a significant degree of change. We are now in a world where your EPC score matters and can influence tenant lease choice, investment decisions and ultimately can impact on property value.

Working with your EPC assessor sooner rather than later to achieve the best possible EPC rating is a necessity.

Step by Step Guide to the Opening of the Retail Market in Water • Competition for Water starts from next April for non-household customers in England, i.e. around 1.2 million businesses, public sector organisations and charities will be able to choose who they get their water services from. This retail market is expected to be worth £2.5bn a year and to deliver benefits of over £200m to the UK economy.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2016

• In Wales (or more precisely for those customers served by Welsh Water and Dee Valley Water) water supply competition for non-household customers will remain only for those non-household customers with water consumption over 50million litres/year or greater.

• To date 18 organisations have applied to Ofwat for licenses. As at 30 September, Ofwat has granted water supply and sewerage retail licenses (WSSLs) to 13 organisations.

It expects around 30-40 applications for WSSLs in the coming year.

• Existing companies (incumbents) can also choose to withdraw (exit) from the non-household retail market when it opens. Three companies – Portsmouth Water, Southern Water and Thames Water have already given notice of their exit.

• In Scotland the market has been operating since 2008, though most activity (switching) has only taken place since 2014, when Defra announced the introduction of a retail market for England.

• The shadow retail market started in England and Wales on 1 October. This is to allow testing of processes and procedures ahead of market opening.

• New players and existing water companies can apply to Ofwat for a license to provide retail water services, i.e. a Water Supply License or a Water and Sewage Supply License (WSSL). In addition certain larger customers can become their own retailer and ‘self-supply’ their own sites with retail services. They would not though be able to provide retail services to other customers.

received CMA approval. Other incumbents have rebranded their retail businesses.

• MOSL (Market Operator Services Ltd) is developing systems and infrastructure for the new market, including the Central Market Operating System (CMOS) with CGI to enable registration, customer switching and settlement between wholesalers and retailers.

• According to new entrants there are still issues with o Retail margin (around 2%) o Ensuring a level playing field o Clear relationship rules o Data readiness of incumbents/wholesalers, e.g. meter NGR, customer classifications.

• For wholesalers, there is also the concern about credit worthiness and potential failure of a retailer and any debt that could not then be recovered from the retailer’s customers.

• Non-household customers in the Portsmouth region will transfer to Castle Water on market opening.

Those in Southern’s region will transfer to Business Stream. Those in the Thames region will transfer to Castle Water. They will then be free to switch to any other retailer.

• In Scotland, in 2014-2015, 35,000 non-household sites (referred to as Supply Point IDs – SPIDs) switched. In the first 10 months of 2015-2016 55,000 switched. Clearly some customers will have several or multiple sites so the numbers of actual customers switching will be less. That said, there has been a significant increase in switching in Scotland since 2014.

• Last November, the Government asked the regulator, Ofwat, to investigate the costs and benefits of extending retail competition to household customers. The Government suggested a timescale by the end of this Parliament – so by April 2020. Ofwat published its initial findings in July and following further consultation released its final report in September.

• Ofwat suggests a strong competitive market with widespread innovation and lower costs could deliver up to £2.9bn potential benefits over 30 years, equating to a maximum benefit of £8 per household customer per year.

However other ’less favourable’ scenarios modelled show reduced benefits of £1.2bn, £0.2bn and -£1.4bn. It is now up to Government to decide the way forward.

• Research carried out by the consumer body CCWater indicated that household customers were in favour of being able to choose their water supplier, but once they were told the level of potential saving (£4-£8) their interest dropped markedly. Some though would still switch if other services were provided, e.g. water efficiency advice, leak detection and repair or if water was bundled with other services, e.g. energy.

The Future • By 2020 we can expect the sector to not only have competition in the retail market for businesses and potentially residential customers in England, but also for there to be markets in water resources, sludge treatment and disposal. There are also likely to be new models of major infrastructure provision, such as seen with the Thames Tideway.

Energy Cost Control on Multi-Site Portfolios

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2016

Throughout my time working in energy management I have often dealt with multi site portfolios, and these kinds of energy spends can be challenging to oversee even for the most experienced energy manager.

26

Common problems can often include fragmented accountability and disjointed practices across the sites.

This silo effect can be minimised by implementing top down goals and site level accountability to achieve these goals, but it is important to also ensure centralised oversight.

Without site level accountability an energy manager may find it difficult to achieve engagement and support from the site. Setting up a steering committee with key representative stakeholders will also drive results and identify synergies. All sites are different and by default, so are their energy requirements. They will be capable of differing levels of success, so whilst a consistent standard of energy management should be implemented, objectives should also not be too constrained.

One should also consider information flow and data requirements. There seems no right answer or one solution when it comes to managing energy data, but in my experience simplification is key. The collection and consolidation of data is often the most critical, yet also the most difficult to perfect across multi sites.

It is all too easy to disappear down a rabbit hole of spreadsheets, but reigning back and taking a holistic view of the portfolio, will initially help to pinpoint and map core data requirements and information flows needed from their source.

Requirements will almost always

include consumption data from meters, normally to help understand consumption trends, benchmark and drive energy efficiency decisions; information from bills to be able to validate and apportion costs; copies of energy contracts to aid bill validation and forecasting; and other items such as query logs, meter operator contracts, site specifications etc. Investment into tried and tested software or database systems to hold and make sense of this data can be extremely beneficial, but investment decisions will be driven by what one wants to achieve and justification in terms of size of portfolio and energy spend.

If one is to rely on external consultants to manage this data, it is important to ensure that service levels and scope of work are documented, clearly defined and measurable. Most importantly, however, there should be an agreement in place to share and protect this data, because outsourcing can sometimes result in lost intelligence and lack of control, particularly when transitioning to different providers.

Additional forward planning for energy contract procurement is also beneficial for multi-site portfolios.

It will allow one to group supplies

together therefore improving bargaining power when looking for the best price, and will result in more centralised information with one supplier, which will considerably streamline activities and information flow. It is also prudent where possible to align contracts to a co-terminus common end date, which will reduce individual contract procurement activities to one bulk tender.

When making a decision on which supplier to choose, one should of course consider price, but also the supplier’s ability to manage a multi-site portfolio. The ability for the supplier to offer bulk electronic billing, centralised consumption information, additional portfolio level reporting and a dedicated account manager is equally important. It is also prudent to explore the history of the supplier. For example, a supplier with a reputation for inaccurate billing will require effort and resources to manage, as well making forecasting and cost accruals more difficult.

There are many complexities to managing multi-site energy costs, but with these complexities also comes many opportunities for an energy manager to improve practices, reduce costs and really make a difference.

Exploring and tapping into these multiple opportunities is key to improving control and targeting cost reductions.

SHOW PREVIEW

Here are the Top Six Energy Efficiency Strategies to be covered at EMEX 2016 EMEX (www.emexlondon.com) and its community are returning to the ExCeL Centre in London on 16th and 17th November with a packed programme spread across 4 free-to-attend CPD-accredited seminar theatres. This content, curated by the Energy Managers Association and its Board of major energy users, will include the opportunity to meet with top industry experts, peers and numerous leading suppliers that will unveil the latest technology and energy efficiency strategies available right now.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2016

1. Reducing Energy Use in the Built Environment.

30

About half of CO2 emissions in the UK come from energy used in our homes and buildings leading the UK Government to implement tougher regulations in the built environment.

Get on top of new Government energy standards, assess risks and, where necessary, act now to make improvements that ensure buildings exceed the minimum energy efficiency standard or face the prospect of the value of your assets decreasing significantly.

By April 2018, it will be unlawful to renew or grant new leases for residential, or commercial property with an EPC rating below “E” unless registered as an exemption. By April 2020, the regulation will be extended to apply to ALL residential lettings (both new AND existing).

By simply commissioning or

upgrading existing systems, you can expect energy savings of 20-40%, which typically represent a simple payback of less than 3 years.

With over 120 exhibitors ranging from major utilities to brokers and consultants, equipment manufacturers to training companies and showcasing a broad range of energy efficient solutions and services under one roof, EMEX has become a unique opportunity to learn about the new technology, systems and services available in this fast changing environment. There are a number of innovative technologies presented in the E.On theatre.

From the latest variable-speed drive dedicated to HVAC applications with ABB, energy efficient compressed air systems with Atlas Copco, commission-free energy saving lighting control system with Feilo Sylvania, integration of artificial intelligence in HVAC and BMS systems with Ecopilot, energy-saving EC fan technology for air movement applications with EBM Papst, as well as a full range of management services for multi-sited organisations with Ignite Energy, Sabien’s M2G boiler load optimisation control to prevent boiler dry cycling. Other notable participants include Siemens, Schneider Electric, Total Gas & Power, EnerNOC, E.ON, Gardner Denver, Ingersoll Rand Compression Technologies & Services, Salix Finance, Carbon Trust, Carbon 2018, MWA Technology, Wilson Power Solutions, Fluke and Green Energy Consulting.

2. Optimising Costs Through Sustainable Operations One area of operational expenditure that has been largely overlooked, but which has substantial potential to deliver savings, is the cost and use of indirect materials and resources, such as water, energy, maintenance and hidden value in assets.

Beyond price, there are further financial considerations associated with buying and using these key resources. Energy efficiency is already a well-established part of the corporate and social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability agenda. Businesses committed to safeguarding their reputation for corporate responsibility – and the commercial value attached to that – have no option but to meet the challenge of developing sustainable operations.

Applying silo thinking to operational management rarely delivers the maximum savings possible. A far more effective approach is to focus on the whole operation and identify the interdependencies between each function. With this broader view, it is possible to develop and implement solutions that deliver greater cost reductions by achieving the following results: • Increase energy efficiency across multiple facilities.

• Reduce maintenance costs.

• Reduce water consumption.

• Decrease production downtime.

• Remove supply chain costs.

• Deliver a return on investment.

16th-17th November 2016 I EXCEL LONDON www.emexlondon.com I #emexlondon

• Increase business assets value.

• Enhance workplace productivity.

Start implementing all the necessary improvements by mapping out the opportunities and building a solid business case to get a sign-off from board of directors and company executives. There are a number of informative seminars in both the Siemens and WaterPlus theatres.

3. Saving Energy through People One of the most important energy efficiency measures is training. You could save up to 30% on your utility bills. The latest developments in behavioural change can help your business to engage with your staff so they become active players in reducing operating costs while improving sustainability credentials, all this with no capital outlay and no interruption of day-to-day business.

Experts, such as the Operations Improvement Manager at British Sugar, the Senior Sustainability Manager at Skanska, the Energy and Environmental Manager at the Bank of England, the Energy and Utilities Advisor at the House of Commons and the Energy and Sustainability Manager at University College London, all specialists in behaviour change, to name just a few, will share their experience. Their presentations, in the Siemens theatre, will leave you better equipped to deliver energy efficiency in your organisation from one-off projects to a strategy that is embedded in staff culture.

the need to ensure secure energy supplies for the UK in the face of rising global demand and an ageing and centralised grid. There is an urgent imperative to re-shape policy in order to decarbonise the energy that we use, evolve infrastructures and to secure sustainable local generation supplies for the long term.

4. Capturing the Full Benefits of Demand Flexibility

At EMEX, National Grid will present Power Responsive, a stakeholder-led programme of work to stimulate increased participation in the different forms of flexible technology in Britain’s energy markets. They also plan to facilitate the rapid growth of demand-side solutions.

The UK is entering a period of energy transition. The main forces driving this transition are a growing consensus about the scale and importance of climate change,

The UK’s energy market mix is already fast changing with a fast growing interest in flexible strategies that empower end-users to manage their consumption, mitigate intermittency in supply, lower their costs and generate new revenue.

SHOW PREVIEW

response systems and energy storage, renewables will play a central part of generation on the grid. How the electricity codes will need to be amended will be covered, and the work of the EMA in lobbying for these changes will also be highlighted.

...CONTINUED FROM PAGE 31 Demand Reduction is a key area for policy makers and companies this year, as this winter will see a very tight margin between supply and demand. The EMA will be launching a new report, Dynamic Response, which will promote a new solution to this problem - flexible load shifting through battery storage from off-peak to peak periods.

5. Increasing Renewables in your Energy Mix Renewables now account for 25% of the UK electricity generation, which is up from 9% in 2011. Switching to renewables and green-tech is a substantial and yet untapped opportunity for most businesses to reduce costs and meet carbon emission targets rapidly.

This system will help you reduce costs through reduction in expensive peak time pricing, reduce transmission charges and deal with security of supply issues.

This new technology will be rolled out in the next couple of years. Seminars on how you could incorporate this system into your business and actually make a profit will be explored in the presentations found in the DONG Energy theatre.

At EMEX, Good Energy will launch their new web platform for business customers to enhance transparency and control of their energy supply with the ability to match with local renewable power generators.

With the deployment of demand-side

Portable Loggers The Complete Energy Monitoring Solution from Elcomponent

Alternatively, instead of buying all of your energy from suppliers, you can install renewables technology, also known as micro generation, and low-carbon technology to generate your own. ENERCON UK, Emergya Wind Technologies, Lightsource Renewable Energy, Norvento Wind Energy and others will present the latest technologies to generate energy from wind, sun and biomass fuel.

Also exhibiting at EMEX, offshore wind market leader DONG Energy is leading the way in the development of sophisticated tools that enable businesses to be more flexible in the way that energy is consumed. It has come up with a unique way to help balance its own generation at times when the wind doesn’t blow.

Corona Energy, a leading independent energy supplier to UK businesses will offer expert advice on energy efficiency, with a fresh approach to managing your

It’s a fact! A portable data logger for electricity measurement could be one of the most cost-effective and carbon-efficient purchases you will ever make!

Each time you use it, there’s a very good chance it will highlight some inefficiency or energy wastage that you didn’t know about.

So - before you invest in any other energy saving technology, invest in the SPC Pro or an SPC Mini from Elcomponent.

6. Get ready for the UK water market de-regulation Businesses need to start planning now for the most radical changes in the water industry for a generation.

From April 2017, over 1.2 million eligible businesses and other non-household customers in England will be able to choose their supplier of water and wastewater retail services.

The smallest high street shops to the largest public authorities will be able to shop around and choose their retailer or renegotiate the existing deal.

If you prepare well for the changes in advance, deregulation of the water industry presents a fresh opportunity for your company to make significant savings when it comes to managing your utility costs.

Companies operating in multiple locations can use just one supplier rather than several, which allows them to negotiate price on a much larger volume and to simplify the billing process. Some retailers will work with such clients to reduce their water bill through the introduction of water efficient kit and metering, in order to form the basis of a Water Performance Contract in which water efficiency savings will be shared by the client and the retailer.

How can you

save up to 40+% on your HVAC costs?

Come to stand A33 for the answer

In Scotland, where competition was introduced in 2008, Business Stream achieved more than £35 million in Water Efficiency savings, experienced a 26% increase in customer satisfaction, made available more than £30 million worth of discounts, saved public sector customers more than £20 million and helped customers save 16 billion litres of water and more than 28,000 tons of CO2 in the first 3 years.

Early birds in the market will snap the best deals, so don’t wait until April 2017 to do your benchmarking.

Business Stream, SES Business Water, Source for Business, Water Plus (a new joint venture between Severn Trent and United Utilities), The Water Retail Company, Waterscan and Water 2 Business to name a few will be presenting their offerings at EMEX. Check all the free-to-attend seminars and training sessions in the WaterPlus theatre.

With such diverse solutions, knowledge and expertise on offer, it is not surprising that thousands of small and medium businesses, as well as household names such as Coca-Cola, NHS, British Airways, Harrods, Hilton Worldwide, Boots, RBS, TATA, British Land, Ministry of Defence, AstraZeneca, Sodexo, Dixon Carphone, IBM, Bellrock, BAE Systems, Co-Operative Group, Ofgem, Network Rail, MITIE, CBRE, Whitbread, Mitchells and Butlers, British Telecom, House of Fraser and many county and city councils are already registered to attend.

How will smart tech transform the role of employees in driving sustainability?

By Sacha Deshmukh, Chief Executive, Smart Energy GB new behaviours at home have real potential to extend into the workplace.

Although the cost of energy is often a concern for households, today it’s hard to understand what type of behaviour change could make a positive impact on energy use.

G

Energy use is currently invisible to us, we often rely on estimated energy bills and even when we do get an accurate bill, information is presented in a way few of us understand – kilowatt-hours.

etting employees to adopt greener behaviours in the workplace has huge potential to save on costs, and to save on carbon emissions. But empowering staff to change their energy habits can be tough to achieve.

This is changing.

According to the Carbon Trust, this is a £300 million opportunity for UK workplaces. With potential for a 10 per cent saving on business energy costs.

There are over 4 million smart meters already installed, with the rollout due to complete by 2020.

They provide households with accurate, real-time information on their energy use in a way they can understand, pounds and pence.

This is not to say that employees don’t have good intentions.

Research by the Carbon Trust and Populus found that 96 per cent of people say they are willing to regularly turn off lights in unoccupied rooms or areas, but only 52 per cent actually take action.

The same research found that only 22 per cent of employees are confident that they know what actions to take to save energy.

With analogue technology in most homes, it has been difficult for people to understand and control their domestic energy use. But things are changing, and

Smart meters, which are being rolled out across the country by energy suppliers at no additional cost, are empowering households to take control of their energy use.

This information is helping households to engage with energy use in a new way.

Our own research with smart meter users has found that 80 per cent of people with smart meters are taking steps to change their behaviour and save energy. In addition, 70 per cent report they are now more conscious of the energy they are using.

Smart meters are a new tool which will help to engage consumers with their energy use, and are bridging the information gap.

This could be a big opportunity for employers, with individuals knowing exactly how much impact their behaviours have on energy use.

Smart Energy GB is the voice of the smart meter rollout. It’s our task to help everyone in Britain understand smart meters, the national rollout and how to use the new meters to get gas and electricity under control.

We are working in partnership with organisations across the country to deliver the campaign from community groups to national organisations, businesses and local government.

We want to work with employers across Great Britain to help their employees understand smart meters and how to use them to change their behaviour and save energy.

We will be at the EMEX conference on stand G45 so please come over to find out more.

Or if you would like any more information please contact Rebecca Yates on: rebecca.yates@smartenergyGB.org 0203 019 1052

Retrofitting Buildings HVAC Significantly Reduces Energy Consumption

The presentation by Helen McHugh, Head of New Product Research at ebm-papst and Ian Shaw, Energy Manager at CBRE will focus on a number of case studies, that demonstrate the energy savings achieved across a variety of businesses and equipment types.

One case study takes a look at the energy savings achieved in the data centre of a leading global investment bank. The study demonstrates how upgrading the fans used in the existing computer room air conditioning (CRAC) equipment, to high efficiency EC fans, resulted in an annual energy saving of 4,727,860kWh. Project managers CBRE were tasked with increasing the energy efficiency

of this 130,000 sq ft data centre in west London, which is a pivotal site for the company’s global banking operation. The main aim of the project was to reduce the draw-down power of the site, which would give both financial savings and frees up additional electrical capacity. In addition to this, changing IT requirements made it necessary to introduce a new control strategy for the cooling equipment to deliver improved airflow and temperature control.

Baseline data for this site showed the annual power consumption at 43,850,000 kWh, costing £4,670,000 each year, with the computer room cooling being responsible for approximately 50% of all power consumed. The computer room cooling is provided by a total of 77 down flow units (DFU’s) operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The DFU’s consisted of both Liebert and Stulz chilled water units, using a mixture of belt driven AC forward curved and direct drive AC backward curved fans.

As these are chilled water units, more than 90% of the power draw is used by the fans and motors.

CBRE worked together with ebm-papst to establish the optimum fan solutions for the existing equipment. A full survey was carried out to establish the optimum solution for each DFU, and an initial trial was carried out to prove the solution.

Following the success of the trial, a full upgrade was completed over

a period of nine weeks, the tight schedule tied in with data centres around the world to make sure there was no impact on available capacity.

Full measurements made before and after the installation showed the effect on airflow, power draw and noise, and comparisons were made at both matched airflow conditions and under the new control strategy, which optimised the airflow to better meet the rooms requirements.

Measurements taken following the upgrade showed an average energy saving of 36% at matched airflow conditions, and this increased further to 54% saving when the new control strategy was introduced, with the resulting savings equating to £360k per year.

Other case studies discussed will include looking at the upgrade of Fan Coil units in the London HQ of a multinational professional services firm where energy savings in excess of 64% were achieved. Also, the upgrade of Air Handling Units at the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula OneTM Team facility, and Condenser units for Marks & Spencer’s stores across the UK.

Helen and Ian will be discussing this topic at EMEX from 13:50 – 14:20 on 17 November in the Technology and Innovation Theatre.

HVAC equipment is responsible for approximately 40% of the energy consumed in many commercial buildings, so it should be high up on the list of efficiency measures. Fans can account for over 50% of all the power used by HVAC equipment.

Therefore, by fitting the highest efficiency Electronically Commutated fans (fans with a brushless DC motor) into a building’s existing equipment, businesses can make huge energy savings with a potential payback of less than 2 years. EC fans not only offer the most energy efficient solution, but also increased airflow, reduced noise and improved controllability via the built in variable speed control.

The Heat and Network Regulations: What you need to know It is a well-known fact that the property sector is being heavily regulated on energy efficiency measures, such as ESOS, EPCs and P272 among many others. However, there are other regulations, which have implications for the UK property sector, that have slipped under the radar.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2016

In particular, the Heat Network Regulations 2014 has a great impact in multi-tenanted buildings. These regulations state new rules in regards to installing meters for recording details of communal heat schemes or monitoring usage.

62

Currently, tenants in multi-tenanted buildings pay a fraction of the overall building’s heating, cooling and hot water costs. Unlike electricity, sub-metering is limited and the floor area is used to estimate a reasonable percentage of the total costs. Although this method is simple and straight forward to calculate, it presents no incentives for turning the heating off, if no one else on that floor does the same. Consequently, energy bills become higher under this scenario.

The Network Regulations suggests that this methodology may not be acceptable, and landlords will be required to give tenants actual information based on their real gas consumption.

This approach will significantly contribute to further improve energy efficiency.

These Regulations are beneficial to building tenants and occupiers, although application falls directly to the landlords. The main responsibilities for heat suppliers under these regulations are the following: • Notify the National Measurement Office (NMO) accordingly of the operative heating systems that are subject to the regulations.

The notification has to include full information of the final customers, building supplies and location of the heat networks.

• it individual heat meters if technically feasible and cost-effective. If the installation of heat meters is not feasible or cost effective, then the heat supplier must fit heat cost allocators and thermostatic radiator vales (TRVs). The feasibility of fitting heat meters has to be evaluated every four years.| • Provide customers with a bill based on accurate data at least once a year.

Implications for the property sector Both communal heating and

district heat networks are subject to the Heat Network Regulations.

A district heat network is regarded as a centralised system for the generation of hot water, cooling or heat that is supplied to at least two buildings. In the UK, there are approximately 1,800 district heat networks. However, there are likely to be an extensive number of facilities that provide communal heating, such as distribution of hot water, cooling and heating from a central source to two or more customers within a building, and hence all the multi-tenanted commercial buildings will be included.

Some of the provisions of the regulation are already in force.

There have been legal obligations on heat suppliers to supply tenants with accurate heat billing information and to inform the NMO of the heating systems that are included in the regulations.

The next target date is close: by 31st December Landlords of multi-tenanted properties are required to assess the feasibility and fit heat meters.

The Government estimates that for the majority of the existing facilities with communal heating, heat metering will be both technically feasible and cost-effective. The NMO has facilitated a Heat Network Viability Tool and further information to assist with the evaluation and implementation of the

Regulations.

• Fit heat meters by default when a property is refurbished.

Next Steps...

The UK property sector has to take action in order to assure that landlords are complying with the regulations in order to catch up with the regulations in a timely fashion. Nevertheless, there are six key steps that every landlord should take in order to comply with the regulations successfully: • Record all the buildings where there is communal hot water, air conditioning and heating.

These properties should have been registered with the NMO by 30th April, 2015.

• Evaluate the feasibility of installing heat meters. A Heat Network Viability tool is available to assist with this assessment.

• Get advice on how to charge tenants for the hot water and heating.

• The Heat and Network Regulations give full control to building users. Consequently, replacing the central hot water systems with electric heaters would be a simple and cost-effective alternative.

• Better metering provides good quality data and better energy management. Landlords could use this data to develop trends and patterns of use to minimize the gas consumption or to optimise the operation & maintenance of the hot water systems, i.e. identify potential leaks or when the pumps are

due to be changed.

The ultimate aim of the Heat Network Regulations is to make users of hot water, cooling and heating aware of their gas consumption levels. This would not only optimise operation & maintenance strategies, but, most importantly, would encourage a better approach to energy management.
