FOREWORD by

LORD RUPERT REDESDALE

Chief Executive at The Energy Managers Association

EMA CEO’s Welcome Back in 2012, the Energy Managers Association (EMA) was formed with the aim of becoming the voice of energy management and bringing increased awareness of energy management as a profession. To provide and enhance the awareness of energy management, we have written hundreds of articles and organised a large number of members’ meetings and conferences. We have also developed and delivered numerous training courses to train new energy managers and up-skill the acting professionals.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2017

However, all these accomplishments would not be possible without the active and experienced energy management professionals who contribute to our publications, share their achievements and give voice to the challenges they face during presentations at meetings and conferences.

4

The EMA team is guided on the work needed to develop the sector by its membership, and we realise that peer-to-peer knowledge sharing is one of the most valuable benefits for the professionals who we represent. So, whilst the EMA was established to become the voice of the industry, you – the acting energy management professionals – give substance to that voice. We look forward to hearing more about your activities and further developing the EMA into a vibrant network not only in the imminent future at EMEX on 22–23 November at ExCeL but also throughout 2018.

All the best, Lord Redesdale CEO, EMA

Building Design Guide: a way of controlling quality for the performance of buildings

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2017

University of East Anglia (UEA) is a campus university based in the historic city of Norwich.

The campus covers 360 acres which, on a typical day, hosts around 20,000 people occupying over 85 buildings. This year UEA has been named among the country’s best-performing universities, reaching 13th position in The Times and Sunday Times Good Universities Guide – the fifth consecutive year that UEA has featured in the top 20 of this league table. UEA also ranks consistently highly for overall satisfaction in the National Student Survey (NSS) and retained its place in the world top 200 of the prestigious Times Higher Education World Universities Rankings.

This article explores UEA’s journey towards becoming an exemplar for energy and carbon efficient buildings and infrastructure and how these contribute to the University’s ongoing success. Following a history of development at the campus, the focus of the article turns to how organisational aspirations, policy and investment criteria can be realised by the implementation of a bespoke building design guide.

Buildings

The Elizabeth Fry Building – in 1998 CIBSE posed the question ‘is this the best building ever?

The original buildings were constructed in the 1960s, and while ground breaking in their day now present significant challenges with regards to energy and carbon efficiency.

Recently however, UEA has become renowned for

its development of exemplary buildings and energy infrastructure. For example, in 1998 CIBSE reported on the Elizabeth Fry Building; posing the question ‘is this the best building ever?’ It was the first UEA development to include active thermal mass technology, and one of the first in the UK to use it. This building helped UEA engineers understand how best to control high active

The Julian Study Centre – where active thermal mass technology has been combined with a cross-laminated timer structure

mass buildings for optimum comfort and efficiency and subsequent similar developments have further honed these control strategies.

In recognition of the need to reduce embodied carbon, buildings over the last 10 years (including The Julian Study Centre) have successfully combined active thermal mass technology with cross laminated timber construction to produce elegant, efficient and comfortable buildings to meet the needs of general teaching spaces and achieve BREAM Excellent.

Our latest addition, The Enterprise Centre (opened in 2015) has exceeded the Classic Passivhaus standard over two years of measurement in use, and has received over 25 awards.

This superb building has pushed many boundaries with regards to the sourcing and use of innovative sustainable

The Enterprise Centre – exceeding Passivhaus as measured over two years of POEs

Ongoing post occupancy evaluations for all of these buildings confirm high levels of user comfort and satisfaction. Looking ahead, plans and funding are now at an advanced stage for a ‘back to core’ refurbishment of the original Lasdun buildings and the efficiency savings this development will bring.

Infrastructure

To deal with winter peak loads for heat, three 6 MWth LTHW boilers were installed in 2014 replacing the inefficient 1960’s boilers. This has been improved further with the installation of 200,000 litres of thermal storage, allowing the boilers to run for longer at optimum efficiency and giving a measured seasonal efficiency of 91%. The design of building interfaces with the district heating system has evolved over time, giving excellent return temperatures and allowing condensing mode operation of the centralised plant to become possible.

This year the original 3 MWe of CHP capacity has been replaced with 4 MWe (2 x 2 MWe). This new CHP development was informed by a comprehensive energy, carbon and financial whole life modelling exercise to determine the optimum size, configuration and operating regime for the new plant, including how it integrates and sequences with the existing CHP and boiler plant. This dynamic whole-system modelling exercise allowed an operating regime to be developed that optimised both return on investment and environmental performance.

UEA was originally constructed with a site-wide Medium Temperature Hot Water district heating system (DHS) and private 11kV network. This provided the financial viability for UEA to become an early adopter of gas CHP. In 1998, 3 MWe (3 x 1 MWe) of CHP capacity was installed following an exercise to reduce the operating temperature of the DHS to a Low Temperature Hot Water regime.

In 2006, a 1 MWth Another innovation is how 200,000 litre thermal store to improve boiler and CHP efficiency absorption chiller was installed to the CHP system is integrated with utilise summer CHP heat that was the thermal store and site-wide otherwise wasted. This meant we could integrate localised BMS system of some 1200 outstations. This ensures compression chillers and a new absorption chiller into a optimised operation for exporting electricity at times district cooling system (DCS) to meet the chilled water of peak value and managing thermal performance by needs of research laboratories. capturing potentially wasted heat in the thermal store.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2017

materials, as well as developing new approaches to managing important details during construction and operation. The building’s performance during the hottest days of this summer confirmed that the intelligent use of geometry, mass and passive cooling strategies can provide excellent comfort without mechanical cooling.

The result of the efforts described here and a five year energy efficiency programme focused on delivered energy, are that carbon intensity (CO2/m2) has halved and by 2020 CO2 emissions are forecast to be 10% below the 1990 baseline, despite a doubling of floor area across the campus. At the same time, energy is affordable and resilient.

“

In all developments, UEA has sought to maximise

whole system efficiency through meticulous analysis of design and control of construction, commissioning and operational processes, to ensure business and environmental cases are realised. Capturing detailed knowledge from existing developments and ensuring it is used in future schemes is an important

factor behind the success of UEA’s energy and carbon policy and is one of the central principles of Building Information Management.

This has never been more important at UEA as 25,000 m² of new buildings will become operational in the next 5 years, along with the original Lasdun buildings (of 40,000 m²) being extensively refurbished over the next 10 years.

carbon intensity (CO2/m2) has halved and by 2020 CO2 emissions are forecast to be 10% below the 1990 baseline, despite a doubling of floor area across the campus.

”

UEA achieves this level of control by publishing the UEA Building Design Guide (hereafter the BDG), which is produced and implemented to ensure new projects deliver the aspirations of their sponsors.

UEA Design Guide The purpose of the BDG is to ensure the specialist design needs of the UEA are communicated accurately and efficiently to consultants, contractors and in-house departments. Whilst there is nothing innovative about publishing a design guide per se, the way the BDG is structured and implemented is innovative, and is key to maintaining control of design, particularly in projects procured using a ‘design and build’ contract structure.

The BDG, which has evolved over many years, is structured as a number of small and accessible parts, each focusing on specific disciplines and in accordance with the RIBA plan of works. Earlier parts address design strategies and philosophies required to inform RIBA Stages 0 to 2, with later parts addressing greater detail for Stages 3 to 7. Design topics include:

Content is limited to information that is operationally or strategically important to UEA for environmental, social, technical or financial benefit. The only reference made to the Building Regulations is in the context of ‘over and above’ requirements. The guidance presents the ‘gold standard’ in terms of affordability, so all opportunities are captured at the outset of a project.

This approach allows intelligent and comprehensive decision-making around value or cost engineering at later stages.

One of the 2 MWe CHP engines being installed in 2017

Key to the success of this guide is embedding it at the earliest stages of projects. UEA framework consultants

and contractors are contractually obliged to read and understand the contents of the BDG before attending initial project meetings, assisted in their interpretation by the UEA Engineering Team.

Consultant teams are able to embed the BDG contents in their specifications where necessary, under the proviso that variation from the guidance must be discussed with UEA engineers. In this way design risk remains firmly placed on external consultants, while the likelihood of insufficient design is greatly reduced.

A practical example of maintaining strategic design control is demonstrated by UEA’s requirements for transformers.

According to the principle of specifying components that meet whole life cost criteria, UEA guidance requires that transformers meet Tier 2 of the EU Eco Design Directive, which is above current statutory requirements. Transformers meeting this requirement are embedded in UEA employer’s requirements, preventing contractors replacing them with less efficient transformers to improve their margins.

leading to a reduction in the cost of managing variations by UEA project management staff.

”

A question often asked about the BDG is how it impacts total project cost. We have found that, because consultants and contractors have clarity when preparing tenders, there is a reduction in pricing the risk of unknowns. Projects also run more smoothly, leading to a reduction in the cost of managing variations by UEA project management staff.

Ultimately, projects are more likely to meet the terms of their business case and aspirations of their sponsors, and so provide the excellent student and staff experience commensurate with UEA’s status as a world class institution.

What is Driving the Evolution of Energy Management in the UK? This summer, we launched in association with E.ON one of the most comprehensive research projects to look at how energy efficiency is managed in British businesses. We especially focused on any disconnect between operational teams and their board and how this might result in missed opportunity.

Energy is one of the most significant costs for a business and reducing it by just a few percentage points can have a significant impact on profits.

Electric vehicles and the charging network: why and when will it appear?

Some who know me will be aware I like to ask searching, if not provocative, questions – and this article probably won’t change their minds about me.

So what are the drivers (pardon the pun) for the installation of public electric vehicle (EV) charging points and which comes first, the EVs or the charging network?

More than 60% of all current private EV owners have never charged their vehicles away from their homes – and they don’t see that changing in the near future. So why do we need a public charging network and what are likely to be the catalysts needed for change?

charging to retain current and attract new customers? For example, I’ve discussed this very topic with budget retailers who are looking to install EV charging to bring a different type of customer to their stores.

New revenue stream for businesses Some organisations also see the potential to create new revenue streams by offering parking with

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2017

Range to drive network expansion

The why is reasonably simple and straightforward to answer. The more EVs there are and the greater their range, then the more likelihood of finding EV users who are willing to travel further afield for business or pleasure and need to charge their vehicle to get home again.

We also need to think about those drivers who don’t have access to a garage or drive, so can only charge at the street side. Then we have white van man, public transport and taxis, which are moving around our urban areas all day and need to charge on the go.

We should also consider businesses looking to accommodate their customers’ needs. Can they use EV

EV charging, especially in the public sector. The opportunity for businesses here is to attract customers through the convenience and necessity of charging, which improves their customer offer relative to their traditional competitors.

So to simplistically answer my initial question – why do we need a public charging network – the answer is for lots of reasons. But none of this answers the more difficult question “which comes first”?

Home charging set to continue In my view, it will be the charging network for domestic and fleet vehicles that can charge at home. I’m

talking about private cars, company cars and some company vans which are kept at the employees’ homes overnight.

The infrastructure requirements are reasonably simple. The data collection and reporting capability – depending on where and from who you buy your charging point – is already available. So many EV drivers won’t need to use public charging points.

Businesses with electric fleet or company cars that park at their sites during the day will need to look at installing EV charging for their staff, and potentially a few extra for their customers.

However, these might not be available to the general public.

So, in my humble opinion, we’ll see a slow growth in installation of private (domestic and business) charging points. Then as numbers of EVs increase, we’ll see more demand for publically available points, unless forward thinking businesses have future proofed their customer offer by proactively installing in advance.

Hindering technological advances However, a slow uptake does create some issues with technological advances in the charging arena.

For instance, when will induction charging become commercially viable? We are already seeing BMW and other manufacturers designing cars that don’t need to be plugged in, just driven into an ‘induction’ parking

So do you buy and install the current big charging boxes with leads hanging around the place now, or wait on induction charging and have a nice pad you can just park your car over?

And what about hydrogen fuel cells? Will these become the go-to solution for longer distances, leaving EVs for the urban environment? If hydrogen does become the answer, then there’s no reason to install EV charging at many ‘petrol’ stations, when you’d potentially only need them on motorways or services close to major trunk roads.

Setting the standard for charging software There are also questions around charging software, data collection and reporting. What is the standard today, what will it be in the future, how can you charge someone else for using your charging post either at home, in the workplace or on the street?

The role of Demand Side Response products and how EVs or hydrogen vehicles will connect to the Grid in the future is another common area for queries. Will they be used for Frequency Response and will they be able to take a home or office off the grid during peak periods?

Ultimately, do you get today’s technology now – or wait until the new ‘better stuff’ is available?

Creating the right environment for investment All these questions and considerations are valid – and potentially create infrastructure investment uncertainty while the car manufacturers are making increasingly positive noises. So what’s needed to start the ball rolling and get people investing and taking this seriously? I have an idea or two, some of which may not appeal to everyone. But here goes…

1. Make planning consent

mandatory Central government should legislate that every local authority and planning board MUST include a requirement to deliver the infrastructure needed for EV charging points in ALL new builds (domestic and commercial) and major refurbishment projects. This as a minimum will mean installing the required cabling, metering and distribution boards for a client to be able to invest in EV charging at greatly reduced costs. If the cables, the meter and the fuses are there, you just need to plug your charging point in (a bit simplistic but you get the gist).

2. Standardise protocols I’m sure some will say this is already the case, while others will recognise that many charging point providers have their own software and data collection networks. Although many claim their equipment will talk to everyone else’s because it’s an open protocol, unfortunately I find this a bit hard to believe. I regularly see examples where problems getting one company’s software talking to another company’s hardware stops or delays investment.

3. A Data Collection Company using blockchain technology Again, in my humble opinion, we need to use the Smart metering model of centralising all data collected from charging posts using something like blockchain. Tens of thousands of interactions which are all the same and from which the customer (EV owner) can get all the data they need, then can buy their energy from the supplier they want, at the price they want and use any charging post they can plug into.

Education is the key So, in summary, I think we in the EV charging world – alongside car manufacturers, energy suppliers, energy generators, grid and distribution companies – have a lot to do to educate customers and government about what is needed to make the monumental shift from fossil fuels in our vehicles to a distributed grid which includes electric and perhaps hydrogen

vehicles.

It’s easy for someone to say we are banning all new petrol/diesel/LPG cars by 2040. But there is a lot of stuff to do before that vision becomes a reality, especially as those legislating for this won’t be in power when it actually happens. In fact, some of us probably won’t even be here when it happens!

We need to start today, legislating for the changes needed to get the infrastructure in place, the energy generation and storage in place and all the systems and software talking to each other. This is not complicated and we have already learnt so many lessons in the past from doing similar things (Smart metering being a perfect example) – so we should be able to get this right first time.

The vehicles will be built and sold, the infrastructure will be installed and the technology will keep changing and improving, so our job is to make it simple for everyone now and create a clear roadmap for the EV charging industry in the UK going forward.

So what comes first – EVs or charging networks? It’s probably not an either or – but more of a both. Alongside this, however, is another critical factor – and that’s education. This is key to creating a successful EV world for the future.

Energy Management Focus

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2017

It is a well-known fact that energy is one of the major costs that companies in Britain face today.

The reduction in the use of energy is seen as a priority not only to save money but also to meet sustainability targets. However, the shortage of energy managers and of relevant training within the energy management industry means that organisational energy management focus and strategies tend to target energy procurement only, or in the worst case scenarios, are non-existent.

Energy management is relevant to all sectors of the economy and at present, many companies in the UK either have no energy managers in place or have outsourced energy management, and therefore have reduced their ability to manage their own energy consumption.

14

As the professional body, the EMA works with experienced trainers and leading energy management experts, to ensure our training offering is up-to-date and covers the breadth of topics that energy managers find useful. Our Energy Management in Practice training programme (LEC 3) offers a selection of practical courses to choose from and leads to Recognised Energy Manager status. Quality and applicability of the delivered learning content is our focus, and we aim to make parts of the courses more relevant to learners by giving them the opportunity to discuss their own sites and challenges that their organisations face. On course discussions are one of the most valued aspects of the EMA training programme.

The EMA Energy Management in Practice programme gives candidates the energy management knowledge through the core topics covered in the 11 module programme and upon completion candidates will be able to undertake energy assessment and measurement of energy consumption, understand organisational technical and operational energy management issues, energy management strategy,

regulatory and legal compliance, reporting and communicating on the status of an organisation’s energy performance and progress of improvements. Explore each of the programme modules and units covered within. The programme can be attended in full at a discounted cost or individual courses can be taken as per candidates’ interest.

Module 0: Fundamentals of Energy Management This module provides participants with an overview of the key knowledge and skills required to become a balanced and hands-on energy management practitioner.

It focuses on several common energy uses found in industry and commerce and draws on: • Global view of energy consumption and its impact; • Basic principles and analytical techniques of energy consumption and energy efficiency; • Practical calculations methods; • Technical aspects of energy management; • Managerial aspects of energy management; and • Examples of energy management drawn from global organisations of different sizes.

The participants who previously attended the course found it stimulating, balanced and informative, and an excellent opportunity to develop a career in energy management.

Module 1: Technical and Operational This module provides participants with an overview of the technical and operational skills needed by an energy manager. Participants who complete this module gain a basic understanding and practical application of various technologies such as lighting, heating and cooling, building management systems,

controls, pumps, pumping systems, motors and maintenance and battery storage systems. Our knowledgeable course instructors use relevant examples to assure participants engagement and build their confidence to challenge suppliers’ offers and quotes.

Module 2: Energy Assessments, Measurements, and Verification This module provides participants with an introduction to a range of measurement technologies available for flow, temperature, pressure, volume, weight, light, time, and other commonly measured parameters related to energy performance.

Participants learn about the frameworks to set up an energy baseline and how it can be used to vary energy performance, and about methods to verify measurements and energy performance improvements.

They also expand their knowledge on how to carry out an energy audit according to ISO 50002:2014 energy audit.

Previous participants on this course considered it targeted, specialised and very helpful to support the activities that they are undertaking within their companies.

Module 3: Behavioural Change and Motivation This module provides participants with the knowledge of how to prepare and deliver a behavioural change program in order to raise energy awareness and encourage energy saving behaviour. The module also offers an insight into the psychology of people and the way they behave which is essential in ensuring that any behavioural change programme is correctly structured and targeted in order to achieve a successful outcome. We believe that all EMA courses are a good opportunity for participants’ personal and professional development, and this course in particular gave our past attendees

Module 4: Regulatory and Legal Compliance and Carbon Management This module provides participants with an introduction to relevant high-level requirements of EU directives, and regulations related to energy management. It will also outline the requirements of the UK’s regulations related to energy management and high-level economic incentives available in the United Kingdom.

Module 5: Energy Management Strategy and Plan This module explains how to create an approach that will help businesses to plan their strategy in the areas of (1) governance, (2) tools and techniques, (3) information and insights, (4) people engagement, and (5) multiplier effects. A special focus of this course is a topic of risks and challenges of making energy savings a reality, quantifying the organisations’ energy baseline and energy performance, comparing the organisations’ energy performance vs. that of their competitors and best practices in making energy plans stick.

Module 6: Waste Management This module looks at all areas of waste management for companies and is focused on the importance of waste management, waste legislation in the UK, waste disposal and recycling options, mapping waste streams / waste auditing, identify improvement opportunities, setting SMART waste targets and KPI’s and lastly on measurement, monitoring and reporting of waste data.

Module 7: Energy Procurement This module is the most popular module that the EMA runs offering an excellent insight into energy procurement, especially to those who are new to the industry. It informs participants about the basic procurement processes for electricity and gas in the UK and describes how the electricity and gas industries are structured and how

this impacts on the prices customers pay. The content also covers the main drivers on energy pricing in the UK and how electricity and gas tariffs are structured; the types of energy contracts that are available and the simple procurement processes that can be used by energy buyers. The module also includes information about how third party intermediaries work, how to get the best out of them, reveals how they get paid and how to minimise their costs.

According to the participants, this module is thought provoking and draws on real world examples and experiences. With hands on approach on the selection of the optimum procurement strategy and useful tips for the relations with suppliers and brokers, this module offers a really useful opportunity to implement the learnings immediately in participants’ organisations.

Module 8: Energy Efficient Transport Transport is often overlooked when improving organisation’s energy efficiency despite significant gains that can be achieved. Understanding the use of fleets and their fuel consumption, as well as available opportunities for efficiencies and implementation of sustainable strategies will be the core features of this module. The learnings from this course help energy managers to understanding the use of fuel in their company’s fleet and effectively develop their sustainable transport strategies.

Module 9: Water Management This module aims to present basic information about how the water industry is structured, how it works, how it prices product and what businesses may be able to do to reduce cost. It also informs participants about the opening of the competitive retail market in England from 2017 to go with the existing Scottish market.

The module describes how water is metered and monitored and how to analyse consumption. It gives advice on carrying out a basic water audit, identifying likely areas of consumption and techniques that may allow reductions in water consumed. It also explains the link between water and energy use and

identify some techniques for raising staff awareness to help behaviour change towards water consumption.

Our past participants learned a great deal about water from top to bottom and felt confident to happily carry out their own water audits and navigate water procurement on the basis of this course.

Module 10: Information Technology This module focuses on understanding the significance of ICT on energy usage and informs participants about measuring the energy consumption and carbon impact of ICT in business environments. This interactive module highlights the importance of recognising ICT systems, infrastructure and devices and their effect on energy usage and undertaking internal audits to ensure consistency.

We deliver the vast majority of the courses on a regular basis and can also provide the courses in-house – either in a standard format, or as tailored sessions. We can also develop new, bespoke material to fit specific client needs. Contact the EMA to discuss your training requirements, talk thorough the available options and how we can support you in expanding your knowledge and developing your team.

Why don’t you start imbedding in-house skills in energy management within your company in 2018 and gain the knowledge required to perform an essential role in supporting a company or organisation to meet energy and cost reduction objectives and targets within the context of wider sustainability commitments.

The EMA training programme will be discussed at EMEX during the following seminar sessions on: Wednesday 22 November at 11:10-11:40 ‘Training the Next Generation of Energy Managers’; Thursday 23 November at 12:00-12:30 ‘The Journey to Becoming an Energy Manager’.

Energy Hub Manager at Mace

Construction: an interview with Mace

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2017

In this regular feature, we focus on how organisations across different industries approach energy management. In this issue, we are exploring the world of the construction industry with Charles Coe, the Energy Hub Manager at Mace.

16

Mace is an international consultancy and construction company, founded and built on exceptional people, a commitment to service excellence and a deep-rooted entrepreneurial spirit.

“

We employ over 5,000 people across five global hubs, with a turnover of £1.97bn. We develop, consult, construct and operate some of the world’s most inspiring projects and programmes.

In the past, these have included the delivery of the Queen Elizabeth

staff count then construction becomes an energy intensive industry indeed.

”

Last year Mace directly procured over 25 GWh of energy. This is what is required to keep our operations live and ensure that we deliver projects on time. The Energy Hub was established in 2013 after an audit across the business revealed

What does energy management mean at Mace?

Mace was founded on the core principle of ‘a better way’ and this is the same approach we take when managing our energy. For us, energy management means that we must innovate and add value. It means that we must do the right thing and

In terms of corporate activities, this summer we started a journey aimed at reducing energy consumption and improving staff comfort at our head office in central London. With 8,000m2 floor space and over 800 staff, the office represents a significant amount of our fixed asset energy consumption. It also represents the largest opportunity for savings.

The journey began with the installation of an intelligent software programme that collects data from the building management system (BMS) and visualises plant operation throughout the entire building. The impact of this was immediate as we identified and corrected major plant that was operating against the BMS scheduling and running outside of office hours. We have also outlined an ongoing programme of works that will continue to focus on reducing energy consumption throughout the building whilst introducing the added benefits of: • Improved employee comfort through reduced hot/ cold call requests, and • Increased plant longevity by reviewing the planned preventative maintenance strategy.

From an operations perspective, once our projects are connected to the

grid and energised we collaborate with the site teams to manage their permanent metering arrangements.

With any one of our developments containing hundreds of residential units - each one requiring an electric utility meter as a minimum - it is crucial that meter installations go ahead as planned so not to impact the overall construction programme.

To achieve this we maintain a close, progressive relationship with our energy supplier, who engages with the meter operators directly. Acting as the liaison between site, supplier and meter operator we ensure that site surveys are conducted so that all stakeholders are clear on their requirements in good time.

The next priority is to schedule the programme of works with the site team and address any potential risks appropriately. Then once the operatives are on site, we ensure that progress reports are regularly communicated to measure how the meter install is being delivered and determine if any additional resource is required.

How does Mace deal with energy management?

Under guidance from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, businesses with electricity costs below 20% of gross earnings are not considered as energy intensive. Under these guidelines it is unlikely that the construction industry will ever be considered as energy intensive,

which is understandable when comparing energy costs to the overall project value. The cost of energy is dwarfed compared to costs for labour and materials. However, if you analyse energy consumption against staff count then construction becomes an energy intensive industry indeed. For example, the unit of energy consumption per employee at Mace is 7,225 kWh per year. Comparing this to data from the International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Co-operation*, the unit of electricity consumption per employee for the UK service sector is just 4,373 kWh. Either way this does not mean that energy is any less important to the industry; quite the contrary. We just work with it in a different way. As builders and developers, we have very specific requirements in the way we buy, consume and manage energy.

Buy_____ A high proportion of our energy is procured through temporary building supply (TBS) contracts for construction projects. At bid stage I engage with the bidding and construction teams to profile energy consumption and determine the expected site load. This involves documenting each piece of equipment’s power loading and scheduling it against the construction programme. This has two benefits: 1) reduces risk factor for THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2017

majority of our work focuses on the accommodation areas and we have achieved some fantastic results. For instance, 35,000 kWh - equivalent to 4.1 tCO2 – was saved when we changed existing fluorescent bulbs to LED throughout the site and welfare lighting.

We also engage permanent supplies.

Residential, commercial, landlords, gas and water connections are all procured through the Energy Hub. These are typically procured on short-term supply agreements prior to arranging a change of tenancy into the client’s name once the project has achieved practical completion.

This is a critical aspect of our work as there is the added risk of commercial disputes arising from supplies being handed over incorrectly. We mitigate this by working to an established methodology agreed with the client.

What areas of every day business at Mace are most challenging in terms of energy management?

Consume True to our corporate social responsibility values, Mace consumes electricity from 100% renewable sources. Every electrical supply in Mace’s name, whether it is a new connection or existing supply, will be on a renewable tariff. This is mandated across the business and is a non-negotiable.

In construction, programme is king so we must manage energy strategically. Our key priority is to ensure that the sites have got the

power they need when they need it.

Simultaneously, any savings that we can achieve have a positive impact on the bottom line. The approach that we take is to sub-meter larger sites and report minute by minute data back to a central energy management platform. By working closely with the Sustainability team we analyse the data and identify the available savings whilst not affecting the construction programme. The

Construction is a very temporary industry by nature. Typically, our construction teams will mobilise on site, work on the project for no more than three years, then handover to the client and vacate. This results in a high churn of energy accounts with supplies regularly being connected, disconnected or transferred to the client through a change of tenancy.

Over a nationwide portfolio spanning hundreds of projects, managing this flow of work becomes a challenge.

Specific knowledge and ongoing management is required to keep on top of it all. We achieve this by centralising all accounts through the Energy Hub so we know exactly where we stand with any of our accounts at any given time.

As construction managers we are the product of our supply chain and this presents a number of challenges when it comes to energy management. Utility meter installations, especially on larger projects, require a lot of resource from meter operators. We cannot directly employ them nor can we have direct insight into other projects they have in the pipeline.

Added to this, permanent meter installations typically occur toward the final stages of a project; when the pressure is on to achieve practical completion and handover to the client.

EVAN JOANETTE

Policy Manager at the Consumer Council for Water

Opening of the Retail Water Market More than six months have passed since businesses in England were given the freedom to shop around for a better water deal. Evan Joanette, Policy Manager at the water watchdog the Consumer Council for Water (CCWater), reflects on a steady start to the non-household retail water market.

Shifting landscape

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2017

Choice is not something you would immediately associate with the water industry in England and Wales, where regional monopolies have dominated the landscape since privatisation of the sector in 1989. But the opening of the non-household retail water market on 1 April 2017 marked the biggest shake-up of the industry for more than quarter of a century.

22

Wait and see Before the market opened, customers told us that their level of interest would depend on whether competition could deliver a clear benefit to their business. Customers wanted enough information to make an informed decision. But the biggest challenge has remained awareness of the market itself.

In July, we carried out a survey of small and medium-sized businesses which revealed only around 4 in 10 SMEs thought they could switch their water services. Many of those that were aware were unconvinced their business would benefit. They either felt they were already paying the right amount for their services, or simply did not feel there was enough on the table to motivate them to switch.

has in identifying root causes of complaints and making pragmatic recommendations about how to improve practices and policies. They have also been willing to share good practice between them in industry meetings and forums.

Looking ahead Over the coming months we want to see the market begin to take service levels beyond what they were before competition. Retailers need to deliver a better service for every customer, from SMEs right up to large multi-sites with higher water demands.

We will also look to see if water retailers are rising to the challenge of helping businesses improve water efficiency, which was a market objective. We know that for very large customers with high consumption, efficiency savings will translate into water bill savings (and energy savings too). But will we then see retailers reaching out to smaller customers in the same way?

Over the past six months, businesses, charities and public sector organisations have been able to shop around for a different supplier of the retail water services, including billing, meter reading and account management. Around 20 retailers have been competing for their custom, the majority of which were associated with the existing water companies. New entrants have also come on board to try and carve out a niche. That number is likely to grow in the coming months with additional new entrants in the process of applying for a licence from the regulator.

However, there is reason for encouragement too, with half of businesses telling us they would look to explore the market in the next six months. The challenge now for many retailers is convincing businesses they have something that can benefit them.

Early switching

As the watchdog, we are seeing more contact from businesses following the market opening. We expected this as the industry adjusted to the teething problems that competition and switching would inevitably bring. Over half of the complaints we have received from non-household customers since 1 April remain about billing and charges. Clarifying bills should be where retailers are most able to add value to customers and look to innovate.

Author’s Profile: Evan is a Policy Manager at CCWater focusing on retail competition. He has 20 years of customer service experience in the private and public sectors. Evan started off managing CCWater’s consumer relations team, pressing water companies to resolve customer disputes. Since 2015, he has helped to shape the water market in England.

To their credit, retailers are taking most issues on board and many of them have been working with us to try to ensure they are quickly rectified. We have already seen some of them improve their customer literature and put more resource into their contact centres.

Retailers are keen to draw on the industry experience that CCWater

The opening of the retail water market will be discussed at EMEX on Wednesday 22 November at 10:30-11:15 - ‘Are Retail Service Providers Delivering Expected Benefits in the New Competitive Water Market?’ and at 11:25-12:10 – ‘The Retail Water Market: End Users Wade in and Share their Experience’

The first few months of competition has seen a slow but steady stream of customers dipping into the market, although the vast majority have stayed put. The latest figures published by marker operator, MOSL, suggest around 2 per cent of eligible supply points have switched retailer.

The weekly rate of switching has hovered around 1,500 supply points.

If that pace holds, we might expect up to four per cent of supply points to have moved to a new retailer by the end of the financial year.

Given that most businesses have at least two or more supply points, what this does not tell us is how many actual customers have made the switch. We also do not know how many have negotiated a better deal with their existing retailer.

Improving service While it might not always be possible to lure customers with big financial savings, the promise of a better service is still appealing to businesses. It is also an area we think many retailers can improve further.

CCWater is going to be talking to customers again, this time about their actual experiences in the market. We want to know just how easy or difficult it has been to switch or negotiate a better deal and whether customers are getting what they want and need from retailers.

We expect to publish the results of this research next spring.

Chief Executive at The Energy Managers Association

Start Clearing Space for a Battery

Very soon you could have batteries ranging from 100KW to 2MW on all your sites. Why should this be exciting? Well the answer is that the battery will not only supply power in the event of a blackout, but will also earn you oodles of money.

At the moment, batteries, though they could be installed tomorrow, often fail to show a sufficient economic return to install.

This situation is about to change because of what batteries are used to achieve. Batteries up to now have been seen in two roles - emergency power and frequency response; the game changer is the use of batteries to level the national grid. Instead of big centralised power generation being built, imagine batteries based in thousands of sites such as hospitals, schools and office blocks, that could be used to reduce demand equivalent to a large power station. The value of this demand reduction at peak is immense and, with a few simple changes to the electricity code, could be realised through Balancing Mechanism Units (BMUs). So what is the problem and how will batteries address it?

There is already the power on the grid to charge the batteries but it will need careful management to allow charging off peak to discharge at peak. At present the grid works on a model that has changed little since the 1930’s. Enormous amounts of power are produced in big coal, nuclear and gas plants. The demands of the grid are met through excess generation.

This is a simple, if enormously wasteful, process that worked when coal and gas was cheap, and carbon emissions ignored, but became a real problem when the UK retired a large part of the generating fleet without replacing base-load generation.

The UK now has a shortfall in generating capacity; we have been

building a lot of renewable power, excellent for low carbon generation but unfortunately is often intermittent in nature. Here is where batteries come in. We generate to meet peak demand which means that due to inflexibility of power generation at off peak periods, really large amounts are wasted. We could store that power in batteries at sites that could range from domestic to industrial.

The batteries would be managed remotely which means that an insignificant demand reduction can be scaled through all the batteries on the network to deliver impressive levels of demand reduction. Here is where the money comes in; the grid pays through the nose for carbon intensive diesel generation or spinning reserve to meet shortfalls in peak demand.

Instead of generating more power why not pay the same amount for the same amount of reduction? Batteries sited in areas of grid stress could be paid more for demand reduction, which would give a fiscal reason to pick where the batteries are targeted.

Here is where you as an energy manager can turn batteries into a profit centre. Battery operators

could pay you to site batteries in your buildings. The batteries would not impose any limits on how much energy you can draw at any time because if the battery is discharged you just go back to drawing from the grid. However, at peak periods the grid will pay a significant amount for BMUs - say from around £50 to a record £1,500 a MWh. You could purchase the batteries yourself or more likely rent your space to a third party for either lower energy bills or straight cash which would be an off-balance sheet solution.

The changes to make this happen are simple, instead of batteries being a behind the meter solution, the meters will be attached to the battery. This allows the discharge of the battery to be measured and earn BMUs. The caveat is that the batteries will only be allowed to discharge at site rather than exporting to grid. This is because any discharge can be guaranteed as demand reduction and it will cut down on the cost of upgrading the grid.

The mass roll out of batteries could be here in just six months, with some changes to the code. The market being driven by financial incentives rather than subsidies will mean that the 1MW battery on your site, rather than an exciting new gadget, will be so common it will become the ignored box, which is perhaps the definition of a quiet revolution.

Rupert will chair a seminar session on the topic of ‘Balancing Mechanism Units: the Main Income Stream for Battery Storage’ at EMEX from 13:10–13:40 on 22 November in the Renewables, Supply and Storage theatre.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2017

In five years, most large buildings will have a battery on site.

However, as an energy manager, the battery may not be either under your control or owned by your organisation. It also will be metered separately and charge and discharge without you even knowing about it.

How to mitigate risk due to the upcoming legislative changes The energy management sector is entering a ‘smarter new world’ of fundamental structural change, underpinned by ambitious energy saving targets and the introduction of new legislations.

Energy management professionals are under constant pressure to fine tune energy strategies to achieve savings, while at the same time confronting issues associated with a heavily regulated energy market.

This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the main pieces of energy legislation surrounding the energy management sector.

Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) Phase 2

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2017

It is official. The compliance period for Phase 2 of the UK Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is underway and qualifying organisations can now begin the compliance process.

24

Planning for early action will help to avoid some of the bottlenecks and other challenges that occurred during the first phase of ESOS, where around 2,800 organisations had to send notifications advising that they would be late in reporting compliance.

Furthermore, according to the Carbon Trust, the hundreds of compliance audits conducted for Phase 1 found that just 16 percent of participants were fully compliant.

A full three-quarters of audited participants needed to undertake remedial actions to become compliant and one in twenty were deemed to be non-compliant.

The Environment Agency has also found that in England there were around 500 organisations that qualified for ESOS in the first phase but

had not engaged with the scheme, resulting in over 300 enforcement notifications sent out to date, with more to come.

As well as avoiding enforcement action or the need for subsequent remedial actions, early action can help unlock the financial savings brought by greater energy efficiency.

The earlier the opportunities are identified, the sooner energy saving projects can be implemented.

Therefore, implementing ESOS Phase 2 today will help your organisation minimise the risk of disruption during the compliance process, and get maximum financial value from cost-effective energy efficient schemes.

All the facts and figures on this section have been provided by the Carbon Trust (ESOS Phase 2 has arrived – start planning for how to get maximum value from going through the compliance process by Hugh Jones).

Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards The following requirements will be enforced by the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards: • The regulations will be mandated for both lease renewals and new leases from the 1st of April, 2018.

All domestic and non-domestic properties are in the scope of the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards.

• From the 1st of April, 2023 the regulations will also be relevant to all privately rented properties, including property occupied by a tenant and property with a lease already in place.

• The minimum energy efficiency standard will be set at an “E” EPC rating.

• The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards exclude any property which is let on a tenancy that is granted for a term of 6 months or less and any property let on a tenancy for 99 years or more.

Data from the National EPC register indicated that about 20% of the properties have an EPC rating E, therefore the regulations will have significant impact on the approach of landlords to energy management, and consequently on the vision of energy management in the property sector.

Heat Network Regulations 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 on each floor, if no one else does the same. Consequently, energy bills would become higher under this scenario.

The Network Regulations, in force from December 2014, suggests that this methodology may not be acceptable, and landlords are now required to give tenants actual information based on their real gas consumption. This approach will significantly contribute to further improve energy efficiency.

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 is 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.

Water Market Deregulation 2017 The water market in England was deregulated in April this year, giving businesses the chance to tap into savings and other opportunities.

Wales has decided not to deregulate, however companies with use of over 50 ML are able to choose their providers.

Licensed Providers (retailers) will buy water and sewage services from the water companies, bundle this with their own services and value-added offerings, and sell their “packages” on to England’s businesses. About 1.2 million customers are able to pick and choose each retail provider.

Prices will be reviewed in 2019 with the main aim of increasing the successes of the previous price review and benefiting both domestic and non-domestic users.

Climate Change Levy (CCL) Increases from 2019 The Climate Change Levy (CCL) is a government tax on energy for businesses. It is levied from businesses final energy usage bills and is meant as an incentive to reduce energy use for the country with the funds collected reinvested into renewable energy schemes.

The Treasury has outlined that Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) will be abolished from 2019. According to HM Revenue & Customs, the lost Revenue will be recouped by the Government through a 50%-75% increase in the Climate Change Levy (CCL), which equates to £0.00847 per kWh in 2019 (Climate Change Levy: main and reduced rates. HM Revenue & Customs (2016)).

Despite the fact that domestic and registered charity users are exempt from the CCL, this scheme will affect UK public and private organisations alike, with Energy Intensive sectors, covered by the Integrated Pollution and Prevention Control Directive, having discounts of up to 80%.

All these pieces of legislation changes are looming and companies need to act now in order to understand the implications on their businesses and to put in place strategies and actions to mitigate the risks they may pose.

USER'S GUIDE by

THE ENERGY MANAGERS ASSOCIATION

Guide to Thermal Storage This new EMA Energy Managers’ guide has been designed with Ecopilot (UK) Ltd to offer some basic information and guidance on understanding thermal storage, how it works within buildings and what the common misperceptions are when accessing buildings’ thermal inertia.

An overview The vast majority of buildings are thermally inert by nature. This means that a building’s framework has a self-regulating ability to maintain the correct temperature – but is this being utilised by the buildings’ managers?

the external and internal temperature influences surpass the equilibrium point, the valve to the cooling coil would be modulated open to reach the set point of the space temperature.

works with a building’s inertia could be one of the most viable measures to install in the property that you manage.

The result of this would be that the building would have been heated and cooled within the space of one day, requiring energy input to both systems. With a more intelligent and long term control strategy taking into account the internal and external influences this could certainly be avoided.

Research in the field and barriers for take up in the past

The basic idea involves utilising the heat, for example from machines and people, which is stored in the framework of the building. Actually, controls and regulating technology only need to observe the temperature curves and intervene when necessary. The secret was said to be the ability to do this in a controlled manner without negatively affecting the indoor climate.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2017

Most control and regulating systems currently in use are set to instantly compensate for each temperature variation that occurs in a building. As a result, the installed systems are forced to work against the natural self-regulation, which leads to the waste of both cooling and heating capacity.

26

An example of this would be early in the day, following a night set back or system shutdown when the internal air temperature and external temperature are cooler.

With a standard control strategy, the temperature measured by the return or extract air temperature sensor would increase the duty requirement of the supply air, modulating the heating valve to the heating coil open to reach the required space temperature set point.

During the course of the day, the outdoor temperature rises and therefore the external temperature influence on the building increases.

The effect of this is that the temperature internally increases therefore the duty requirement of the heating to the supply air is reduced, eventually reaching equilibrium and the heating valve is closed. Should

As early as the 1970s, research results from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm showed the importance of adopting a holistic view and taking advantage of a building framework’s thermodynamic properties.

A thermally inert building can store surplus heat at high temperatures and then emit this heat when the temperature drops. This figure llustrates the most common heat flows in a building.

Varieties of systems that optimise buildings with regard to a building’s natural thermal inertia are available on the market today. Measured reductions in energy consumption of 20–40% (from the 500+ installations already carried out) for heating and cooling of buildings are common after installation. Pay-off times for the systems normally appear to be approx.

2–5 years. The interesting thing is that these results are achieved by letting a building’s technical installations work with the laws of nature to store the free heat and cold that would otherwise have been “discarded”. If you manage properties with modern computerized BMS systems (no older than approx. 10 years), a system that

3. Does your business require flexibility in energy supply?

The UK’s energy mix is fast changing and demand reduction is a key area the government is very keen on.

Demand Side Response (DSR) is a fast-growing market that enables National Grid to balance Britain’s electricity system cost-effectively, while our energy landscape changes rapidly. If your business has the flexibility to increase, decrease, or shift its electricity use, then the power is in your hands to take full advantage.

In January 2017, as part of its commitment to reduce industrial energy costs and decarbonise the UK economy, the Government committed £28 million to energy innovation projects. That, and many other statistics show just how fast innovation is coming to our shores. Ofgem figures suggest innovation by energy networks has already enabled close to £1bn of cost savings between now and 2023.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2017

Innovation can mean huge wins for business. From DSR, battery storage, onsite renewables, to EV charging-points, EMEX will provide attendees with some insights on how these innovations can future-proof British businesses and some practical advice on how they can take part in this emerging economy.

34

Lord Redesdale, CEO at the EMA, explores how changes in the electricity codes are developing so trading energy demand reduction through the use of batteries can become a compelling investment for businesses with onsite renewables and balancing mechanism units.

See Renewables, Supply and Storage (theatre 4) agenda, page 46 and the Flexible Power zone page 36.

4. Does your organisation keep on top of the coming taxes and regulations?

Gary Shanahan, Head of Business and Industrial Energy Efficiency, Tax and Reporting at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) will

Evan Joanette, Policy Manager at the Consumer Council for Water; Adam Yarnall, Network Utilities Manager at Camping & Caravanning Club; Ian Gregory, Head of Utilities at University of Birmingham and James Tiernan, Group Energy & Environment Manager at Unite Students, will reveal how they approached the opportunity offered by the recently deregulated water retail market. They will also discuss the barriers and the opportunities they unveiled as they switched their service.

ISO 50001 energy management system is being revised into the new structure and is expected to be launched in 2018. Attendees will get a brief on the 6 key tools in ISO 50001 and how organisations can prepare, implement and transitions to the new ISO 50001.

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 NHS, British Airways, Harrods, Hilton Worldwide, Boots, RBS, TATA, British Land, Ministry of Defence, AstraZeneca, Sodexo, 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.

xStorage Store energy today, save tomorrow Storing energy with Eaton xStorage is storing up savings.

You can avoid peak charges by time-shifting your energy use, or cut costs by storing excess energy from renewable sources until it’s needed. Stored energy can save your business or your building from unplanned power outages. And storing energy means there’s revenue in store for you too.

Sell excess energy back to the grid. Join a frequency response programme. Or become part of the growing EV charging infrastructure. Storing today will also help save tomorrow – increasing network resiliency through relieving pressure at peak times, or helping to optimise use of renewables. Whatever tomorrow holds, take control today with Eaton xStorage.

IoT is Getting Boring – and that's a good thing!

Today, it would appear, everyone gets the Internet of Things (IoT) and digitalisation – or at least have a clearer understanding of what it can do for their business.

It is everywhere, extending the digital revolution into the physical world. Web and mobile are digital talking to digital, whereas IoT converts the physical into digital and then into physical again.

Without much explanation or confusion, customers now understand the business case for:

system performance according to weather changes, energy price, or any other related variables.

BACnet_____

To help achieve this, manufacturers of VSDs are developing a host of tools and built in sensors that can log data about the behaviour of motors, pumps, fans and other connected powertrain components. By hosting communication devices and using external sensors, users can extract the right data to give a meaningful insight into how their building or factory is performing.

One example of this is BACnet.

BACnet MS/TP and BACnet IP are data communication protocols mainly used in the building automation and the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) industry. The protocol allows equipment such as air conditioning units, pumps and ventilation devices to communicate with a programmable logic controller (PLC). This creates buildings with a high degree of automation.

In some drive (VSD), for example, is an up by building service consultants countries there are limitations on the essential part of IoT and of building are updated to take advantage of equipment that you can add to the automation. IoT brings an easiness to the rapid developments in digital grid. For example, in the UK the last planning maintenance and adjusting technology.

Ultra-low harmonic drives are now available and are ideal for HVAC applications. Such VSDs feature harmonic distortion with levels less than four percent on all load conditions. These are ideal for data centres, hospitals, tunnel ventilation systems and shopping centres. Such VSDs also feature reactive power control such that the VSD itself has unity power factor (no reactive power generated) and compensates for reactive power in other equipment.

Energy efficiency, maintenance and support Counters, within VSDs, show exactly how much energy is used compared to direct-on-line (DOL) control methods. The savings are displayed in kWh or MWh. In addition, the VSD can show how much carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have been saved as well as the financial impact of having a VSD installed. This feature is vital in enabling organisations to prove the validity of investing in VSD technology.

Meanwhile, looking after a low voltage motor installed base has already taken a massive leap with the launch of a smart sensor. The device attaches, without wires, to the frame of a low voltage motor and then using a smart phone or tablet, users can check on whether the motor is due for maintenance, about to fail or is running fine. The smart sensor, either retrofitted or factory fitted,

Conclusion All these sensors and devices give a wealth of data. But it is how you perform the analytics and, more importantly, how you connect that data back into your business that will set you apart. Data in isolation makes no sense. It’s what you want from this data that will provide a true return on investment.

You need to ensure that you have good analytics and operational insights coming out of the data.

TECHNOLOGY by

DOROTHY STEIN

Managing Director at Greengage IT Ltd

It's Time to Reduce IT Energy Use The COP21 Paris Agreement requires countries to set ambitious carbon reduction targets necessary to “hold the increase in global temperatures to well below 2°C and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels”. It is widely recognised that energy efficiency plays a significant part in achieving carbon reduction targets, contributing about 10% of the necessary reduction that signatory countries have committed to. The EU has a target of 20% improvement in energy efficiency from 2007 to 2020, and further energy efficiency targets will follow.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2017

As an Energy Manager, you will be highly experienced at managing energy consumption across your organisation’s estate, covering heating, ventilation and lighting, with increasingly sophisticated metering and building control systems. You will be running energy efficiency initiatives, and looking for year on year improvements. You may also be including scope 3 emissions in your reporting, looking at your organisation’s supply chain, disposals, the carbon impact of the use of your products, etc.

However, there’s one area of energy consumption that tends to slip through the net – IT. The internet, cloud and mobile instant communication are having a revolutionary effect on our lives inside and outside the workplace. In 1969, the first message was sent over the very early internet from University of Los Angeles (UCLA) to Stanford, Northern California. No-one dreamt of the possibilities this would unleash. Unlimited information, instant communication, video streaming, social media, education, e-commerce and the vast range of services which the internet offers, are changing the face of societies across the world. And offering great opportunities for every organisation and business, as they scramble to adapt.

Global consumption of IT services is increasing exponentially, and the corresponding energy used by IT is rising. The energy footprint of the IT sector is estimated to consume approximately 7% of global electricity1. 34% of this global total is consumed by devices outside the data centre2, both in organisations and personal use.

This massive and growing energy consumption offers huge opportunities for improving efficiency.

So why does IT get overlooked in the sustainability conversation?

1. IT departments have other priorities Digital transformation programmes are sweeping across the public and private sector, bringing business strategy and technical programmes together, to maximise business value and customer or citizen engagement from the latest technology.

Information Systems departments are maxed out implementing new projects and programmes; and saving energy just doesn’t get far up the agenda.

2. We’re moving our servers to co-lo or Cloud, won’t this solve the problem?

Moving servers from informal server rooms or a formal internal data centre to a more efficient data centre or cloud hosting, and increasing virtualisation, will bring efficiency gains. If you are measuring scope 3 emissions then you should select a data centre or cloud provider that is energy efficient and/or using renewables.

However, around 60% of IT devices are not servers, datacentre or cloud, but distributed devices in businesses, organisations and homes3.

Energy managers need a view of the energy landscape across all the IT devices in their estate The benefits of monitoring IT energy use in your organisation: 1. Baseline of IT Energy use A baseline shows the scale of the problem, the percentage IT energy use for the building or estate and gives an indication of possible cost savings.

2. Monitoring Monitoring tools can help identify hotspots, and opportunities for energy saving. Unusually high and unexplained increases in IT energy use may indicate security breaches and malware, and provide a useful tool for picking these up early.

3. Energy Reduction and cost savings There may be easy wins which can be achieved through communication with employees and behaviour change.

4. IT Energy Reporting Other more technical IT energy savings initiatives can be developed. Regular IT Energy Reporting will contribute to your ESOS submissions and help you achieve ESOS compliance or ISO 50001.

5. Interface with BMS and automation systems IT energy management services can interface with your BMS to provide a holistic view of energy use across the estate. There are also opportunities for extending IT management systems to control lighting, access control and CCTV.

3. In-house devices are getting more efficient, aren’t they?

Hardware manufacturers have made great progress on energy efficiency over the last 20 years and it’s true that servers, PCs and laptops have become more energy efficient. But our consumption of IT services is increasing and new devices are constantly appearing on the market.

Examples are video conferencing equipment, collaboration devices (with high definition cameras, sensors and microphones), digital signage, Internet of Things (IoT) - all these innovations have an energy footprint.

What’s Next for Wireless Lighting Control Technology?

Lighting controls for commercial buildings are not a new concept. In fact, controlling lighting has been, and will always remain, a fundamental aspect of energy management. Driven primarily by demand for energy savings and utility rebates, energy managers have increasingly adopted control strategies, from manual switches to scheduling and occupancy detection across their estates.

However, as IoT-enabled lighting technology continues to advance, smart lighting controls are increasingly pushing the boundaries of traditional lighting control and delivering heightened functionality. Today’s lighting control systems offer a greater scope for enhanced data communication and connectivity, presenting a wealth of opportunities for energy managers.

central interface, energy managers can not only cut costs for training and minimise the risk of human error, but also better visual the energy savings being achieved across their estates.

In the spotlight: retail savings The value of IoT-enabled cross-system integration between different lighting controls and building management systems has been emphasised by the impressive results achieved for a leading high street blue chip retailer by Harvard Technology.

With over 3,000 stores across the UK, the retailer characterised the problems faced by the wider European retail industry. Operating a large portfolio of stores seven days a week had quickly led to high energy overheads, impacting on the business’s bottom line. As with the majority of retail environments, the financial burden of energy costs had prompted the company to seek a technological solution to future-proof not only its lighting portfolio, but also the wider building management systems.

When an extensive renovation was proposed for the entire estate, which included a strategy for implementing state-of-the-art LED technology and wireless lighting controls, the retailer saw the opportunity to integrate several systems and improve efficiency across all of its stores. Specifying on behalf of the retailer, Matrix, a company of E.ON, selected EyeNut as part of a substantial retrofit scheme across its estate.

Cross-system integration

72

The emerging generation of wireless controls, for instance, can take energy management to the next level, integrating seamlessly with Building Energy Management Systems (BeMS) to provide a platform for controlling not only lighting, but also heating, ventilation, security systems and much more through one interface.

Through cross-system communication, the retailer has been able to rapidly collect massive quantities of real-time data that had previously been unattainable. Remote access to data on each store, or indeed multiple stores, can be accessed wirelessly from anywhere in the world via a computer, tablet or even smartphone, enabling store managers to track real-time reports on kWh usage and carbon, energy hotspots and even luminaire failures.

The unique connectivity to the BeMS allows data transfer between all building control systems, enabling information on scene setting, energy data, store trading conditions and emergency tests to be reported to the users. Such a complete synergy between lighting control and BeMS offers unique possibilities from an energy management standpoint.

Designed to be easily retrofitted into all stores, EyeNut immediately delivered significant savings in both energy and carbon emissions. This installation has resulted in energy savings of 34% through wirelessly controlled LED lighting alone. When factoring in the additional decreases delivered by the integrated Micro BeMS, savings were further increased by 20% - leading to a significant financial saving per annum.

Aside from the costs associated with training employees to use multiple systems, operating numerous control systems can also bring in a high possibility of human error, raising substantial security concerns. By combining a multitude of smart building control technologies on one

Emergency automated testing ]The requirement for modern and ingenious controlled emergency lighting in commercial properties around the UK is great, and as such, advancements in wireless

lighting controls continue apace in this area, bringing a number of innovative features and benefits that have improved emergency lighting functionality, including the ability to automate testing.

Energy managers have to adhere to very strict emergency regulations which not only require emergency lighting to be functional at all times, but also necessitate monthly and yearly functional and duration tests on all emergency luminaires. The advent of updates to the Code of Practice for emergency lighting of premises (BS5266:1 2016) – which requires emergency lighting to be checked on a regular basis and results to be logged by the person responsible for the building – have also intensified the requirement.

Wireless lighting control systems, and more importantly automated emergency testing functionality, represent a significant leap forward for emergency lighting. Such advancements mean instead of sending an engineer to a building to conduct mandatory tests on emergency lighting, energy managers can now remotely complete all tests from the comfort of their office on a desktop, laptop, tablet or even a smartphone.

The evolution of wireless sensors In recent times, there has been much talk about wireless sensors and sensor networks. Whilst sensors have been in place for some time now, the accelerated development of the Internet of Things (IoT), wireless lighting control systems and sensor technology mean sensors are likely to be one of the core technologies in the smart infrastructure of the future.

There exists a huge potential for smart sensor networks, facilitated by the wireless communication and ‘big data’ processing capabilities of cloud-based wireless lighting control systems. A wireless sensor network consisting of a large number of sensor nodes across an estate, for instance, can enable efficient data acquisition on anything from energy consumption to temperature, air quality to occupancy detection and much more.

There are many challenges to managing energy costs on multi-site estates, but with these complexities comes significant opportunities for energy managers, especially as the popularity of wireless lighting controls rises and the availability of technologically advanced and innovative smart lighting solutions continues to grow.

Can You Have your Cake and Eat It When It Comes to Saving Energy?

Open doors may be a necessary part of your operation; however, they can notably reduce the energy efficiency of your facility through temperature losses. What happens when your business policy clashes with the ever-demanding importance of saving energy?

Retail or commercial facilities would perhaps consider installing revolving doors. Although they can influence temperature losses, they can be expensive to buy and maintain, not to mention the effect they can have on high footfall entrances.

THE EMA MAGAZINE • ISSUE NOVEMBER—DECEMBER 2017

Manufacturing facilities are most likely to consider a fast-acting door or airlock (double doors). High levels of traffic can mean high speed doors are left open frequently and airlocks require a higher capital, they take up expensive floor space and can slow the vehicular traffic and in turn affect business productivity. So, how can organisations choose the right entrance solution that does not compromise a building’s energy performance?

Dean Gooch, Sales Manager CPA Engineered Solutions explains what to think about when trying to achieve savings through open doorways or similar.

poor indoor air quality.

Traditional methods of solving this problem tend to be ‘airlocks’, overdoor heaters, fast acting doors and strip curtains, however, even these methods have their limitations as to what they can achieve when it comes to saving energy, with a Cambridge University study saying “overdoor heaters can use a lot more energy than they save”.

If our considerations are saving energy and achieving building energy performance, air barrier technology could be the answer. This technology isn’t new and has been around for a few years in the UK and around the world.

The Enershield air barrier creates a ‘virtual door’ by re-circulating internal facility air and forcing it across an opening thus creating a significant seal (up to 90%). This seal separates the atmospheres on either side and reduces the transfer of temperature, humidity, dust, odour and insects. It is auto activated on door movement and allows access for pedestrian or vehicular traffic to move freely through the airflow without obstruction. It can be easily retro fitted to any size of entrance.
