Theatre Royal Plymouth. The first Theatre in England To receive the Carbon Trust’s Energy Efficiency Award: Kevin Faulkener

Theatre Royal Plymouth. The first Theatre in England To receive the Carbon Trust’s Energy Efficiency Award Kevin Faulkner Premises Manager Theatre Royal (Plymouth) From a Paul Renyard presentation! Which was borrowed from a Kevin Faulkner premises presentation!

Display Energy Certificates

Still in bragging mode!

And again!

By looking away from the glitz!
And getting down and dirty!
We did it, so can you.

Where do we start?
2.2kw kettle run 3 times a day for a total of 10 minutes = only 0.37kwh
100w light bulb for 24 hrs = a massive 2.4kwh (and you may have hundreds of them)
THEREFORE….Ignore (for now) large power items/machinery that are on for a short period of time. (And the shows, just 3 hours a day)
SO THE IMPORTANT PART OF Energy =KW x H …is the H
Start on your 24 hour lighting.
Check 18 hour Ventilation plant
Check HWS
Kettle versus the light bulb! Which uses the most power when both switched on? Which uses the most power in a typical working day? Assuming that the kettle is used by our very busy maintenance department (3 times a day!) and that the light bulb is on 24 hours in an emergency escape route in the basement.

3x 15w replaced with 3x 3w (45 ↓ 9) 15w replaced with 3w (1Khrs ↑ 15K) 35w Halogen replaced with 3w single LED

Use of LEDs, High Frequency, Low energy lighting & Fibre Optic 100w light requires a further 100w to cool = 200w total electricity consumption !!

Water savings….18hr use

Legionnaires
Hotter quicker – less waste
Planned Maintenance

2 x 750kw boilers on 24hrs a day plus associated pumps and fans! Simple 10 minute adjustments to BEMS reduced running time to 8hrs a day on demand only. Further enhancements came later.

Heating &/or Air conditioning ?
Under floor and space heating set to 24 o C
Overhead air conditioning set to 22 o C
Plant default should be OFF not ON

Room temperature control !
Under floor heating set to 24 o C
Doors opened by staff to cool area down
Simple adjustment of set point, solved.

Why use chillers when most vent systems can use fresh air to cool and also body-heat/recirculation to heat? We repaired the air dampers and linked to BEMS. Therefore chillers and boilers remain off most of the time.

Air damper or not, this fresh air damper from our studio Theatre was only useful for scrap. Recycled of course!

BEMS are designed to reach required temperatures as efficiently as possible, Once there, the system should be allowed to vary a little in temperature (known as a dead band), Otherwise the system will hold that ideal temperature whatever the cost! Shown below is a ventilation system feeding basement dressing rooms and offices. So fine tune the controls to provide the best environment at the lowest cost.

Brute Force vs Technology 750KWh atmospheric ‘Flame Thrower’ 50% efficient 2x 50KWh high efficiency Combi 98+% efficient (Zenex Coolflue Technology) 24 hour domestic hot water (showers) We saw earlier that two large boilers were used to heat the DHWS, This is very wasteful in summer! Any domestic boiler system would have been better but we used 2 very efficient Zenex Technology boilers, total cost £20k, Payback1.5 years!

We fitted Zenex boilers for DHWS, by pre-heating the cold water to your calorifier, massive savings can be achieved. Other boilers are available!

We dared to enter traditional no go areas. but the artistes loved it, and less of a fire risk! Not a priority as hours of use is low. 60W incandescent 7W Fluorescent

2007 compared with 2002 Electricity 19% lower Gas 46% lower Water 33% lower CO2 33% lower Saving annually at today's prices Electricity £20,300 Gas £19,054 Water £10,000 270 Tonnes less of CO2! Current annual utility bill is £122,000 (would have been £172,000)

2007 compared with 2002 Electricity 14% lower Gas 30% lower Water 20% lower Co2 10% lower Saving annually at today's prices Electricity £43,097 Gas £31,429 Water £12,500 240 Tonnes less CO2! Current utility bill is £394,000 would have been £481,000

And today’s lesson………
YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
Lots of easily achievable, cost effective wins
Excellent topical PR
Feel good factor !
… .public body …providing a public service….setting a fine public example……

Thankyou
Paul Renyard Senior Manager
Bailey Environmental
TAC Satchwell
Zenex Technologies
Pennon Group
Western Electrical
My Staff
And anyone else that knows me!

(Please ignore the 2004 glitch!) CO2 reductions in the last five years

History
Age of buildings and equipment
If we need it - turn it up
Always done that way !
Reactive repair
Lack of investment
Awareness
Who cares…. Not my money….. Or is it ?

Energy & Environmental Management System
Why invest time & effort ?
Provides direction
Documentary evidence of progress and intent

Proactive Approach
Planned & Preventative maintenance
Work Requester – rapid repair
Dilapidations survey and forward planning
Performance Monitoring
Replacement & Procurement Policies
Energy efficient direct drive motors
Efficient or more effective lighting
Green refrigerant gas, chemicals etc etc….

Use of Technology
BAS 2800+
BMS Sigma
Remote access and monitoring
Zoning
Lux sensors
Motion sensors
