Chance To Be In On The Joint AECB/Technology Strategy Board Low Energy Buildings Database LaunchAECB has been working with the Technology Strategy Board's Retrofit for the Future (R4F) team to develop and extend the AECB/CarbonLite Buildings Performance Database. The new database will be jointly owned by AECB and the TSB, and will incorporate monitoring data from all 86 of the R4F winning social housing retrofits, plus data from a wide range of AECB member projects, both refurb and new build, domestic and non-domestic. The Low Energy Buildings Database, as it will now be known, represents a remarkable resource, offering unprecedented insight into the performance of over 100 buildings, set against the predictions of the designers. The new database shows the performance of each building in both figures and clearly presented graphs, so design intention can be compared with built reality, and projects can be compared with each other. With the inclusion of detailed design strategies, descriptions and illustrations of the building types and measures taken and technologies employed, the database provides well illustrated and robust benchmarks for what energy and carbon performance levels can be achieved, across a wide range of buildings. Over the next few weeks, AECB members have a chance to add their projects to the new database in time for the joint national launch in early summer. (Members will of course also be able to continue to add their projects thereafter.) To find out more, contact Eric Parks at info@retrofitforthefuture.org. If your project is already on the database, the data has already been automatically transferred into the new version, and you are invited to take this opportunity to update you entries on the new database. Contact Eric for your new username and password, as above. Eric is also now also helping the AECB continue its work under the Intelligent Energy Europe funded Pass-Net project. |

Update From Jo SaadyAs we enter into summer I'm writing to update all AECB members, and those that subscribe to network where we are with the development of local groups. Local groups are doing really well and the feedback I have had from members tells me that this network is growing all the time. I do wish that I could go to all the meetings to catch up with folk and report back on board business that affects us. What is great about local groups is that they exist because people want to met and chat with fellow enthusiatics. The meetings are very relaxed as people get together because they like see each other to meet and chat, whilst at the same time being at the very forefront of our field. Those of you who attend regularly tell me that it helps to recharge batteries. An important pattern developing is showing that these groups are not restrictive and people do travel and merge with groups from other areas as we strengthen the association with our shared passion. This month the Milton Keynes group are meeting with the Nottingham group for example. Exciting times! If you haven't signed up for this years Conference on October 1/2 this year yet I urge you to do so as places are limited at the Wise building at CAT. Most importantly the Friday night is a party to celebrate 21 years of the AECB's existence, and founder member Keith Hall will be attending to help us celebrate with Sally. The AECB is the worlds oldest sustainable building association - something really worth celebrating. I hope you are all doing OK with your work and hanging in there, we are mostly positive here in Hayward's Heath!. It great to see how our area of expertise is increasingly in demand so if anyone wants to join a group or has ideas for a meeting, a project they want to share or an idea they want to float please get in contact via the forum or email me jo@ecotecture.co.uk, I can provide an updated list of email addresses for potential group leaders. Finally we have been working hard at board level to update the email data base. If you are still not receiving emails from us please do contact me so that I can investigate and add you to the lists that are sent out to local leaders. Best wishes and if we haven't met before I look forward to meeting you at some point in the future, if not the conference! Joanna Saady, Tel: 0845 026 4636, or jo@ecotecture.co.uk |

Renewable Heat Industry Awaits Clarity from Coalition GovernmentUK's renewable heat industry taken aback by closure of major grant programme. DECC announced on the 24th May that the major grant programme for renewable heat had closed with immediate effect. The announcement means that it will no longer be possible to apply to the Low Carbon Building Programme for grant funding to help pay for technologies like solar thermal, pellet boilers, and heat pumps. The funding stream had been extremely popular and REA were on the verge of warning that money would run out in July, when the surprise announcement was made. All commitments made for LCBP projects in the pipeline will be honoured, however the remaining £3million left in the LCBP funding pot has been removed as a contribution to the government's cuts programme. The announcement has increased the sense of uncertainty faced by the UK's infant renewable heat industry. Research undertaken for DECC shows that the faster the UK's renewable heat industry builds capacity the lower the overall cost of implementing the Renewable Heat Incentive. REA hopes that the secondary legislation needed to deliver the RHI will be finalised before Christmas. The UK is the worst performer on renewable heat in Europe, with the UK's renewable heat industry making up just 0.6% of the heat market. The previous government had committed to bringing in the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), which will roughly apply the principles of the internationally successful 'Feed-In' Tariff system to renewable heat. Legal powers for the RHI were achieved with strong cross-party support in the Energy Act 2008 and the RHI is due to come into effect in April 2011. The consultation on the RHI scheme recently closed with the industry strongly behind its general recommendations. The RHI will seek to propel the UK up the EU's renewable heat table with around 12% of UK heat energy expected to come from renewables by 2020. The scheme will make a major contribution to UK CO2 reduction, energy security and UK jobs. Source: REA, www.r-e-a.net |
The Solar Trade Association Reacts To No-Notification Closure Of Low Carbon Buildings ProgrammeWhilst the Solar Trade Association (STA) recognises the new Government's budget predicament and the desire to reduce the deficit as quickly as possible, there is also a requirement to meet a range of targets including the clear aim of obtaining 12% Renewable Heating by 2020. The STA believe pulling the relatively small budget required to support the Low Carbon Buildings Programme (LCBP) until the introduction of the new Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a retrogressive step and will cause a loss of jobs in the industry just at the moment the country wants to build capacity to install hundreds of thousands of renewable heating systems each year. We call on the Government to find a small extra element in its budget to support the LCBP for the next 10 months until the launch of the new incentive. Howard Johns, Chairman of the STA said "This is very bad news for the solar industry, and a very disappointing move from the new coalition who are aiming to be the greenest Government ever. Solar thermal offers the UK a unique opportunity for jobs, growth and energy security and yet we have once again been undermined for short term gain. At this point we have no idea what the RHI will look like and whether we will get it at all - effectively leaving our sector in limbo, and jobs at risk." Source: www.solar-trade.org.uk |
ConDem Coalition Unveils Details Of Energy And Climate Change PlanThe new Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government have unveiled details of its programme for its coming term in office, building on the earlier agreement between the two parties. The plans pledge to "use a wide range of levers" to cut emissions, decarbonise the economy and create new green jobs. However, although the document commits the government to supporting an increase in the EU emission reduction target to 30% by 2020 based on 1990 levels, it provides no further details of the coalition's previous promise to increase the UK's renewable energy target. It commitment is also in doubt as a result of the premature closure of the Low Carbon Building Programme and lack of clarity over the new Renewable Heat Incentive. The new government will continue its predecessor's commitment to four carbon capture and storage demonstration plants, the roll out of a smart grid and smart meters and the creation of a green investment bank. A major increase in both marine energy and energy-from-waste using anaerobic digestion can also be expected, but the strategy for achieving this remains to be fleshed out. On the home front, the new government says it will encourage home energy efficiency improvements paid for by savings on energy bills and has committed its own central departments to cutting emissions 10%. It will also present an 'annual energy statement' to parliament outlining energy policy. However, the plans also include the scrapping of Home Information Packs, which has been required to provide information about a property when selling, including details of its energy performance. The plans also do not mention whether the new government will support its predecessor's commitment to zero-emission new homes by 2016, followed by public sector and commercial buildings by 2019. In fact, the new government's proposals make very little mention of emissions from the non-domestic sector. For further information go to www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/media/409088/pfg_coalition.pdf |
New Government Should Improve Its Own Energy Efficiency Says ReportOfficial figures indicate that the Home Office energy bill topped £1 million last year. Independent price comparison website energyhelpline.com, who requested the figures, says the next government needs to look at ways of improving the energy efficiency of its departments to reduce consumption. The Home Office came top of the list with an electricity bill of £1.01 million and a gas bill of £39,300, followed by the Foreign Office, which spent £819,186 on electricity and £7256 on gas, and the Department for Transport (£613,923 on electricity and £15,896 on gas). The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), which arguably should be leading the way, spent a mere £148,517 on electricity, but £37,630 on gas. The Home Office responded by saying that it is already working with the Carbon Trust to identify and implement measures to reduce energy consumption where it is high. Last year, the Government announced a £20 million investment in energy efficiency measures to reduce energy usage and costs in central departments. DECC also signed up to the 10:10 campaign, which pledges to reduce emissions by 10% over the next year. For further information go to www.energyhelpline.com |
Environmental 'Deficit' Is Greatest Threat To UK, Warns Aldersgate GroupThe environmental 'deficit' poses a greater threat to the future of the UK than its financial deficit, warns the influential coalition of businesses, environmental organisations and MPs, the Aldersgate Group. The coalition, which includes BT, PepsiCo, Biffa, National Grid and the Environment Agency among its members, says environmental priorities must be tackled with as much urgency as economic issues. The report, Accelerating the Transition: Priorities for the first 100 days of the new government, welcomes cross-party agreement on setting up a green investment bank but urges that this must happen swiftly, with a shadow institution set up immediately and legislation passed within a year. The Group also wants to see any new government publish a national energy efficiency plan and make a commitment to mandatory carbon reporting. Current emissions reporting mechanisms are too complicated and potentially contradictory, says the report, and should be streamlined. The Group also warns that the current carbon price is insufficiently sable to stimulate the necessary level of investment in low-carbon technologies. A new strategy for low-carbon industry is also needed, says the Group, to target job creation, manufacturing and export potential is specific areas. This should be underpinned by include enhanced capital allowances, tax breaks and national insurance reductions for green industries. For further information go to www.aldersgategroup.org.uk |
UK 2020 Renewables And Emissions Targets: Nearly But Not QuiteThe UK could miss its 2020 European renewable energy target of 15% and a goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 34%, according a report from Cambridge Econometrics. The UK looks likely to meet its first two carbon budgets up to 2017, but may not meet its third budget covering 2018-2022 unless the new coalition government implements strong policies promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency, says the report. If the third carbon budget is not met, the 34% reduction in emissions by 2020 may be in jeopardy. Thanks to the economic downturn that has reduced industrial output, as well as a switch from coal to more nuclear power, CO2 emissions fell 10% in 2009, but are unlikely to decline as much in 2010. The renewables target also looks unlikely. The report predicts that renewables will account for 7% of UK electricity sales in 2010, down on the 10%. This could rise to 11% by 2015 - but still well short of the 15% target. Even by 2020, the UK may only have reached 16.5% renewables. The issue, says Cambridge Econometrics, is that fossil fuels remain central to meeting UK electricity needs and specifically that new gas-fired power stations rather than renewables are being used to plug the gap left by the decommissioning of the country's nuclear and older coal-fired power plants. If the coalition government implements policies to increase the share of renewable energy used to produce electricity, biofuels in transport and renewable fuels for heating, then the targets could be possible.

Architects Sought To Help Understand Obstacles To Low Carbon School DesignThe CIBSE Schol Design Group is carrying out research intended to be useful to design teams who are involved in a low carbon school design in the future. It should highlight potential obstacles to the design and allow the team to either avoid or mitigate for the consequences of that obstacle. The research is supported by the AECB, and uses the Delphi process, described as a method "used to obtain the most reliable consensus of opinion of a group of experts". Stephen Simm from the Center for Energy and the Environment at the University of Exeter is inviting architects from the AECB who are expert in this field to contact him (engineers, client-side representatives and academics have already been recruited). A link to a summary of the Delphi is at www.cibse.org/index.cfm?go=groups.details&item=22. If you are interested in taking part contact Stephen Simm phone 01392 264145, or email: sps209@exeter.ac.uk |
Stormwater Attenuation Event - 8th June9.30am - 3pm, The Genesis Centre, Somerset College, Wellington Road, Taunton In recent years we have seen increased evidence of severe flooding. The way we deal with the stormwater arising from our buildings and the surfaces immediately adjacent to them has a significant impact on the likelihood of further flood events. There is therefore a need to revolutionise the whole way we approach stormwater management and change our thinking and methodology from rapid removal to attenuation and storage.

The Road To Zero Carbon - A Conference On Low And Zero Carbon Building - 15th JuneTuesday 15th June 2010. 9.30am - 4.30pm Reading Town Hall, Reading, Berkshire. Fee: £180 plus vat (£211.50) This is another opportunity to attend this highly rated conference which previously ran in Bristol last February. The construction and use of buildings contribute nearly half of the UK's CO2 emissions, which the UK has a legally binding target to reduce to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. As a result, the Government has set targets to significantly reduce the greenhouse emissions from all buildings. All new buildings will need to be zero carbon within a decade as Building Regulations progressively tighten, starting with a 25% reduction in CO2 emissions for all new buildings from October 2010, while CO2 emissions from existing buildings need to be approaching zero by 2050. We are seeing a move from demonstration projects, such as those at the BRE Innovation Park, to an increasing number of real-world low and zero carbon buildings being built. This demonstrates that, contrary to claims that it is too expensive or can't be done, it is possible to achieve significant reductions in carbon emissions from buildings. This major conference will show how the UK is beginning to meet national targets for low and zero carbon building.

Complex Systems, Stories Of Place And Regenerative DesignA Schumacher College short course, July 2010 We are all becoming aware of the need to understand our world systemically. In the world of design, building and community planning, this insight translates into the awareness that we should try to understand and integrate all the living systems that make up a place. This approach requires practitioners to combine theory and practice to ask: What is the unique potential in this living system or community and how can this be realised? This course will explore this question by introducing participants to a range of techniques and processes such as pattern recognition, ecological restoration, integration and collaborative thinking. Participants will learn from leading exponents of this design approach and apply its principles in experiential fieldwork. They will compare and contrast Regenerative Development and Design principles with those of Biomimicry and have the chance to work with Bill Rees, originator of the ecological footprint concept, to contextualise this experiential work within a global perspective.

An Introduction To Sustainable Transportation: Policy, Planning And ImplementationBy Preston L. Schiller, Eric C. Bruun and Jeffrey R. Kenworthy, ISBN 9781844076659 Transportation plays a substantial role in the modern world; it provides tremendous benefits to society, but it also imposes significant economic, social and environmental costs. Sustainable transport planning requires integrating environmental, social, and economic factors in order to develop optimal solutions to our many pressing issues, especially carbon emissions and climate change. This text reflects a fundamental change in transportation decision making. It focuses on accessibility rather than mobility, emphasizes the need to expand the range of options and impacts considered in analysis, and provides practical tools to allow planners, policy makers and the general public to determine the best solution to the transportation problems facing a community.
