The presentation covered energy efficiency initiatives at Rolls-Royce in Bristol. It discussed establishing an energy charter and targets, identifying areas of high energy use, training energy champions, implementing shutdown procedures for holidays, upgrading lighting, and capturing heat from test cells. Measurable savings included £4,000 per weekend from shutdowns, £95,000 annually from LED lighting, and £7,500 per year from installing detuner covers. The presentation also outlined Unite Students' strategy to procure energy efficiently, reduce demand through behavior change and hardware upgrades, and lower emissions through renewables.

Summary
Objective
This project will deliver energy consumption and cost reductions through a combination of capital
investment in viable energy hardware improvements and a management lead behavioural change to
eliminate energy waste.
Executive Sponsor P Craig Date 1/5/2014
Current Stage Operational areas of the Defence business are well advanced in terms of identification of numerous
schemes for capital submission and the ‘no-cost’ behavioral change required to eliminate energy waste.
Greater focus and management commitment is required in office locations to achieve the benefits we
know are available.
Project
Management
I Carr Version 1
Problem / Opportunity Objectives Scope
Out of hours surveys and analysis of data confirms high occurrences of
energy waste. Typically a potential cost saving of £9,000 per weekend
has been calculated in Bristol due to equipment and lighting being left
on during out of hours periods and holidays.
This needs to be addressed as a priority by all areas of the business.
This is seen as a key business opportunity that will contribute to the
‘COST’ element of the Groups 4 ‘C’s focus.
The reduction in consumption will also make a positive and measurable
contribution to the Group Green House Gas (GHG) reduction target.
To ensure all Defence businesses locations have effective
plans to eliminate occurrences of energy waste.
Gain the commitment and support of the management
community at all levels.
Increase the current ‘energy champions’ community to
mandate a member in all departments, delineated by its
physical boundaries or owner manager.
Implement written ‘shut down’ plans for weekends, holidays
and out of hour periods, in all departments.
To build upon the activities and Energy Champion roles
already in place across the business.
In Scope
All areas of Defence business.
Equipment, machinery and systems that can be
readily switched off, without impact to the
business, process or equipment.
All Personnel.
Out of Scope
Only equipment and systems which are critical
to remain live (i.e. servers, identified machinery).
9. Rolls-Royce proprietary information

Energy Champions Training
Calling all Energy Champions
Defence news asked Executive Vice President Customer Services Paul Craig why he feels saving
energy is important: “The Defence Leadership Team is 100% behind this initiative. Everyone is focused on cutting costs -
but some solutions can be achieved by just flipping a switch. With very little effort required to save large costs and reduce
energy - the benefits speak for themselves.
"By following a simple checklist, switching things off or turning things down etc. before we leave our place of work every day
and especially before a longer break, we can save thousands in cash across every Defence site around the globe – so the
question is why wouldn’t we do it? We wouldn’t leave lights and lots of electrical appliances plugged in at home while no-one is
around so why do we think it is okay to do that in work? Perhaps if we all imagined the energy bill being paid for out of our own
wallets then maybe we would take a minute to switch things off before we left work.
“I have nominated myself as sponsor of a Defence Energy Charter aimed at all employees. The charter includes some key
objectives for managers in all areas and I want all managers to embrace the Charter and sign up to their requirements. A key
tool in succeeding will be the identification of Energy Champions in all areas like those pictured in Bristol recently receiving their
training certificates.”

Keep it simple, and understandable yet make it meaningful
• Respondents want the scheme to provide outputs that are relevant to each business
• Respondents want ESOS to add value and identify real measures that can be
implemented
Avoid duplication in existing regulation and requirements
• There a range of energy efficiency policies operating in the UK – ESOS needs to fit
• Take advantage of alternative routes to compliance – e.g. ISO50001
Minimise costs
• Allow discretion on the number of site visits required within audits
• Using internal team members for their knowledge and skills
• Only having lead auditor requiring accreditation under the scheme – but need for
whole audit team to be of sufficient quality to ensure that output is meaningful

51. Lessons learned
• Structured approach vital to keep on track
• Understand & prioritise opportunities & solutions yourself
• Make targeted use of external support to achieve specific aims
• Customer satisfaction is critical
• Support & buy-in from senior management & building
operations teams is key
• “A good plan today is better than an excellent plan tomorrow”:
Need to be flexible & ultimately actions are what count
54
52. • Definitely an opportunity
• Undertake data collection & survey that would be difficult to
justify otherwise
• Combining ESOS & compliance with the Minimum Energy
Efficiency Standards (MEES) for EPCs to minimise costs
• Collect accurate & useful data to inform future energy strategy
• Capture data in an accessible & usable format
• Target the “outliers” with most significant potential savings
• Drive towards ISO50001 for subsequent phases

110 Introduction to the business energy efficiency policy landscape
“The choice between going green and going for growth is a false choice. Green and
growth do go together, and the statistics back this up”
The Colour of Growth, CBI, July 2012
"...make no mistake we are in a global race and the countries that succeed in that race,
the economies in Europe that will prosper, are those that are the greenest and the most
energy efficient."
David Cameron, Energy Efficiency Mission launch, 4 Feb 2013
Energy efficiency belongs at the heart of a low-carbon economy. By reducing energy use
and cutting down on waste, we can reduce energy bills, make our energy system more
sustainable, and drive down greenhouse gas emissions.
Edward Davey, Secretary of State
“Large UK businesses are paying out more than £1.6bn too much on their energy bills
every year because many are yet to seize the full opportunity
to cut bills by around 15% through energy efficiency measures”
Carbon Trust, The Business of Energy Efficiency, October 2012
107. 111 Introduction to the business energy efficiency policy landscape
“We estimate that through socially cost-effective
investment in energy efficiency we could be saving
196TWh in 2020, equivalent to 22 power stations”

112. Policy Simplification I: Overview, CRC &
ESOS
• DECC has taken steps to simplify our policies to reduce overlap and
administrative burdens on industry
• CRC simplifications have delivered a 55% reduction in admin costs, saving
participants around £275 million up to 2030
• ESOS allows flexibility to organisations to choose their 12 month period of
energy data collection, so data gathered under existing schemes can be
used for their energy audits.
116 Introduction to the business energy efficiency policy landscape
113. Policy Simplification II: CCAs and EUETS
• The simplified CCAs scheme removed any overlap with EU ETS as well as
simplifying overlap with the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme
• We have simplified EU ETS through a more proportionate and consistent
penalties system and improving the independence and efficiency of the
appeals process
• A small emitters and hospitals EU ETS opt out offers 247 installations an
estimated £39million in savings between 2013 and 2020 while maintaining
environmental incentives
117 Introduction to the business energy efficiency policy landscape
114. 118 Introduction to the business energy efficiency policy landscape
The current policy package is on track through to 2020 but additional
action is needed to maintain progress after 2020.
Carbon Plan scenarios require energy
efficiency to contribute a reduction in
final energy consumption per capita
between 2011 and 2050 of 21-47%
