Changing Agenda of Carbon
• In the 1930’s we changed from solid to cavity wall • Early 80’s - no “Part L”; • Boiler; Time Clock <50 kW> Compensator • 2002 - 2006 - 2010: constant improvements • Zero Carbon Buildings by 2019..... • Decarbonisation led refurbishment • What Next? • HE Campuses will witness the future, as they have the past.

Sustainable Refurbishment
• Refurbishment is key to the Transition to a Low Carbon Economy • Are we really doing all we need? • TRV’s, CFL’s, CHP & even PV’s won’t cut the mustard • Change is not a destination • Hoping for the best is not a strategy • Revolution – not evolution • Stone Age • Agricultural • Industrial • Computer • Carbon?..................or Decarbonisation Age ADVICE

Drivers for Decarbonisation in HE • Competitive Advantage • Minimising Energy Cost Inflation • Reduction in Carbon Taxation • HEFCE Targets [Funding] • Stakeholder Targets [Research Funding] • Investor Perception • Student Perception • Recession • Cash is King • Carbon is the Queen ADVICE

Pitfalls and Panacea
New Build “problem” - Refurbishment’s “Solution”? • Combined Cooling, Heat and Power – use excess heat Over Insulate and Overheat? • Consider ventilation strategy and energy use • Possible to refurb. and build buildings not fit for purpose Cooling is not a Capital Offence • Student efficiency / staff retention • Need to address all the issues, shading, ventilation, etc. Workable Solutions • Not “White Elephant” research project studies
