Hemochromatosis is a genetic disorder characterized by excessive iron absorption and storage. It was first described in 1865 and the gene (HFE) was identified in 1996. Iron is absorbed in the duodenum and stored in the liver, heart and pancreas. Hepcidin regulates iron absorption and storage by binding to ferroportin. The HFE protein assists with iron sensing and regulation of hepcidin. Untreated iron overload can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Evaluation involves iron studies and genetic testing. Treatment is regular phlebotomy to reduce iron levels. Prognosis is good if identified early and treated with phlebotomy. Family screening is important to identify other

Virtual memory allows a process's logical address space to be larger than physical memory by paging portions of memory to disk as needed. Demand paging brings pages into memory only when they are referenced, reducing I/O. When a page fault occurs and no frame is free, a page replacement algorithm like LRU selects a page to swap to disk. If processes continually page in and out without making progress, thrashing occurs, degrading performance. The working set model analyzes page references over a window to determine the minimum memory needed to avoid thrashing.

not seen as too complex or too risky.
— Compliance with regulation is a
significant driver but policy and
regulation is overly complex.
— A minority are taking the next step.
— No shortage of funding but barriers
exist due to length of payback of
investments.
— Erosion of confidence due to concerns
over impartiality of advice provided.
— Removal of government incentives has
also undermined confidence.

How do you really measure sustainability performance?
Need a benchmark to see if a building is preforming in operation – key requirements:
• DEC methodology – but better benchmarks
• Energy Consumption Guide 19 proportional splits (ECG 19) and BBP Real Estate Environmental Benchmarking
(REEB) and to set benchmarks. Luckily both benchmarks are pretty much in alignment.
• Landlord and tenant separate benchmarks
• Managing agents KPIs and ensures ‘best practise’ is achieved and proven
• Asset Managers – Monthly Intensive Care List linked to personal appraisal targets
16. The issue for Landlords and Tenants
• No split between Landlord and Tenant
• Cannot show improvements (or not) in
what each control
• DECs use one benchmark for all offices
• Many offices are ‘stuck’ at G

29. Key Experiences from Foundation
• Consumer acceptance and positive consumer experience are
critical
• Build business strategy for smart metering on solid economic
value
• Review and redesign of end to end supply chain to Smart
Metering equipment delivery- this is complex
• Team Sport ! – collaborative approach between technology
vendors, retailers, policy makers and regulators
| 30
30. Key Experiences from Foundation
• Standards provide starting point but early in maturity
• Comprehensive testing of end to end in the lab is critical
• Field evaluation is critical component of ‘Go’ Criteria
• Major release timings to find and fix issues for the next release
| 31
31. Summary
• Foundation phase has provided some critical learnings
– Customer acceptance, perceptions & communications
– End to End Testing cycles & value of field trial
– Extent of Business change
– Managing the post go-live
• What are the next foundation learnings …….
– Scale of foundation is estimated to be upwards of 10MM meters

56. EY’s 3D Energy Strategy
57 EY Energy Optimisation - Strictly Confidential
Have your energy reductions
flat-lined? Does shifting peak load stack up?
To hedge or not to hedge?
Many corporates are already
delivering some level of Price
strategy to source lower cost
energy.
However, to maximise energy
savings, exploit the full opportunity
and become sector lenders, the
Volume and Time dimensions are
essential.
EY’s vision is to help clients transform into energy optimising organisations across the 3 dimensions of price, volume and time
57. Six key themes characterise the leading organisations in energy strategy

Barrier Solution
• Project size too small
• Reduced opportunities for large ticket size
investors
• Less efficient use of time vs money
• Bundle/Wrap Projects
• e.g. Vertical/Horizontal implementation across
5 year time horizon
• Difficulty of achieved savings valuation • Third party Independent verification
• E.g. Energy Efficiency Verification Specialists
(EEVS), CSA Group, Energy Saving Trust
• Agreement on payment mechanism structure • Simplicity of structure is key
• 2 Options:
1) % of savings achieved – e.g. x% of savings
achieved; or
2) Proportion of power used – e.g. £50p/kWh
of power saved
