Flexible energy: the value of demand responseCGI Nederland
Het Koninklijk Instituut Van Ingenieurs (KIVI) organiseerde op 12 november het Jaarcongres Stad in de Delta. Daarbij stond de toekomst van steden aan de kust centraal: hoe zorgen we ervoor dat deze steden droog, leefbaar, duurzaam, veilig en bereikbaar blijven? Een complexe vraag, waarbij slimme ICT-oplossingen een grote spelen. Niet vreemd dus dat CGI bij dit congres een presentatie mocht houden. Joris Knigge ging tijdens deze presentatie op de vraag waarom we nu al moeten ‘voorsorteren’ op de komst van nieuwe slimmere energienetwerken. Een van de redenen hiervoor is dat het elektriciteitsgebruik de komende jaren gaat stijgen, onder meer als gevolg van het grotere aanbod aan elektrische vervoermiddelen. Dat levert naast uitdagingen ook kansen op. Want hoe beter de balans tussen vraag en aanbod, des te betaalbaarder wordt energie. Een overschot aan zonne-energie rond het middaguur zou bijvoorbeeld heel goed geabsorbeerd kunnen worden door elektrische auto’s.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Introduction:
Discuss work history and the fact I was working in Local Government and NHS for 20 years.
The challenges and very tight budgets ensured these organizations had to look at energy in great detail.
This ranges from operations to projects
Operations included heavy investment in time and money for retrofit projects such as the installation of AMR, energy efficient lighting, CHP’s Power perfectors. Where every penny counted the importance of measurement was always a key consideration and all projects would have to be tracked and success of failure measured.
Most new build projects would be funded by the Welsh Government and this funding would come with strict energy and sustainability controls and there would be a minimum BREEAM standard required for each project.
Who are we and what do we do?
Our job is to connect people to the energy they use. We all rely on having energy at our finger tips: our society is built on it. From the warmth and light we rely on at home, and the power which keeps our factories and offices going, to the mobile communications and other technologies that are essential parts of our modern lifestyle.
National Grid owns and manages the grids to which many different energy sources are connected. In Britain we run systems that deliver gas and electricity across the entire country. In the North Eastern states of the US, we provide power directly to millions of customers. We hold a vital position at the centre of the energy system: we join everything up.
That puts us at the heart of one of the greatest challenges facing our society; the creation of new sustainable energy solutions for the future - and the development of an energy system that can underpin our economic prosperity in the 21st century.
Under our regulatory terms we are not allowed to generate and feed back into the grid regardless of size.
But on the other side of the spectrum we certainly use energy just like any other business, in fact we use lots of energy. And in property many of sites hold data centers which in themselves a power hungry services set in areas which are apposed to change and risk.
Electricity Transmission:
Approximately 4,470 miles of overhead line, 870 miles of underground cable and 329 substations
Gas Transmission:
Approximately 4,760 miles of high pressure pipe and 23 compressor stations
Gas Distribution:
National Grid own four of the eight distribution networks which consist approximately 82,000 miles of gas distribution pipeline
National Grid's transmission system, covering England and Wales, is linked by interconnectors to the transmission systems of France and The Netherlands. In addition to jointly owning and operating the England-France and England-Netherlands interconnectors, we are developing proposals on a number of other interconnector projects.
Get the definition on sustainable and ask the audience:
Highlight the fact energy and sustainability are key points in our vision but what does that mean as a company and what does that mean to property?
Shared value is at the heart of our Corporate Responsibility strategy, which focuses on three areas that we're passionate about, and that directly contribute to the success of our business. Three areas that balance our responsibility for connecting everyone to the energy they use today, with the need to create sustainable energy solutions that underpin a successful society tomorrow. We roll up our sleeves and get involved with the things that matter to us and society; inspiring, preserving and designing for the future so that energy continues to play its critical role in all our lives
A selection of our proud achievements and areas involvement “outside of our day job”
Special Olympics GB - We've been a Premier Partner of SOGB for the past six years and are looking forward to working with the team in developing the volunteering opportunities available to our UK employees. Over the next three years we will be looking at ways to focus regional team activities and events around our presence in local communities. We'll also be helping SOGB develop their strategic volunteering opportunities through skills development and broadening opportunities to a younger audience in support of the Step Up to Serve Campaign.
Step up to Serve - goal is to double the number of young people taking part in social action to over 50 per cent by 2020. That would mean an additional 1.7 million young people involved in practical action in the service of others. Achieving this will need the involvement of us all. And this is why National Grid is proud to be a Pioneer Business with Step Up to Serve
National Grid Affordable Warmth Solutions:
aims to assist homes in the 20% most deprived areas in its gas distribution network area offering the following services;
Provide new gas connections for communities and homes not currently connected to the National Grid gas distribution network.
Offer qualifying householders free or discounted gas central heating systems, cavity wall insulation and loft insulation.
Offer energy efficiency advice, which includes identifying with energy suppliers appropriate tariffs for householders.
While National grid had a property utility spend of around 26 million corporate property spend around 6 million pounds per annum.
Corporate Property has 102 properties and many of these have no gas
I’ve just noticed the totals in my table didn’t include water because the query calcs have only been carried out for elec and gas (in case you were confused! I was for a moment!)

CRC reduction commitment is calculated from the 2008/09 benchmark, a time in which the company made the 2020 and 2050 commitment
Strategy - The strategy was designed to review your property holdings, identify potential savings and improvements and take action to deliver them. The project included managing physical changes such as property closures and also maximising the properties we have and ensuring we don’t have empty building’s swallowing up valuable resource. As a result Our Occupied Estate Strategy is looking to rationalise the estate across the UK into 4 key hubs and at the same time, create workspaces which support organisational objectives and future ways of working
Bill validation –National Grid partner UES and carry out the bill validation function and it’s fair to say that this vital role has produced some massive saving’s over the first few years. They also act on behalf of National Grid and deal directly with our energy suppliers to rectify day to day queries that are raised by both National Grid and themselves.
Smart Work Space - Despite 21st century technology, many companies are still working in very 20th century spaces.
It’s fair poorly designed office space can result in lost productivity and disengaged staff, which could potentially lead to a high staff turnover. Having worked for the NHS in a poor environment I can fully appreciate the impact these environment can have on morale and productivity.
National Grid recently commissioned infrastructure services firm AECOM to deliver a radical redesign of its headquarters in Warwick. The redesign had to put employees first and foremost, delivering key objectives to enable them to work more productively and collaboratively. It also had to make sure that flexibility was at the forefront of the agenda.
Working with a leading UK university, AECOM and National Grid carried out a study to show, for the first time, an objectively measured link between employee productivity and workplace design. The study suggests that transforming the workplace not only has a direct impact on staff performance and satisfaction, but that it also can translate into bottom-line benefits. It has allowed us to make significant strides in measuring the impact of the workplace on employee output, something that others have to date only been able to gain through subjective measurement in employee surveys.
A range of cognitive performance tests to measure staff performance before and after the office redesign.
Outcomes were very positive, with an 8% improvement in staff performance, equating to what National Grid believes amounts to £20 million of increased productivity per year. A further £8 million to £10 million in reduced annual operating costs was achieved, leading to a total positive financial impact of up to £30 million per year.
Results revealed that employees gained back 5% in productive time due to improved access to meeting spaces. Importantly, there was also an 8% increase in employees’ comfort and satisfaction levels following the redesign.
Refurbishments - were carried out with sustainability and energy efficiency playing an ever increasing importance. This meant we could sweat the asset and get more people in the buildings while the running costs remain the same of less.
Compliance – On top of all of the above we always ensure we a compliance and on key area in relation to energy over the above period is CRC
We now have c6,000 staff working within SWS environments, which now include Osprey House, Hinckley, Wokingham….Solihull / Strand next
We are now also focusing our efforts beyond the core estate to the operational front line…….
Meeting room issues have been tackled using an electronic booking system – Condeco – Describe how it works, and integrates with Outlook
Energy reduction was mainly achieved through lighting efficiencies, and even with a 14% reduction we still managed a higher light level across the floor plate which staff are really positive about.
Gold SKA Award for final floor plate:
Efficient taps
Low flush toilets
Energy reduced usage 29 kWh/m2/year CIBSE guidance used
Installed lighting load in the general office area is less than 11W/m2.
Energy efficient lamps
Lighting controllability – Lighting can be easily controlled, zoning and timing. What is easy???
Energy efficient hand-dryers
Pipework insulation
A replacement of the boiler system was carried out in 2012 replacing the old inefficient boiler with a new modular boiler system which would inevitably achieve a certain amount of savings but could we have done better, could we have saved more. Looking at the system now I would have to say yes.
Boiler system is constantly used even in summer for the provision for hot water, could we have direct fired instantainiace water heater?
T5 lamps used with full control sensors installed currently set at 30 minutes. Doing a night time safety walk reveled many of the lights were still on at midnight due to cleaning and set points. As a result we requested the set point be reduced to 10 minutes but national grid was then advised this could have a detrimental effect on the life expectancy of the T5 tubes.
Reduce light pollution Criteria
All lighting control motion detector time lags are reduced to a
maximum of 10 minutes and lighting lux levels are reduced between
the hours of 23.00 and 07.00 in accordance with Table 1 of ILE GN01
(see guidance below).
This has to raise the question as to why we spent so much extra money on the installation of a highly intelligent lighting system if the light fittings installed are detrimentally effected by the system when working at its optimum level.
Light tubes
Sub-metering
HVAC zone controls
Soft landings framework Criteria - The client must adopt the soft landings framework as the tool for providing an integrated team approach to design and commissioning during the design phase, construction phase and occupancy phase.
Since 2008 Corporate Property have made good progress in embedding climate change and sustainability into normal business. The previous strategy has proved to have been a great success and this is reflected in its current CRC reduction of over 60% from the 2008/09 benchmark indicated in.
Our new target is to reduce our own operating emissions by 80% by 2020 exceeding the corporate centre target on carbon reduction commitment tax. So taking the 2015 target and setting this as our 2020 target.
So bearing in mind the our previous discussion on smart and remembering that Strategy is god

Within the corporate property estate the top 20 building’s account for 80% of our utilities spend. Within those top 20 buildings four of those buildings account for 57% of our utilities spend.
Previously we had all our HH meters delivering real time information following the start of this projects we have now have an additional 47 gas and water meters installed
Uncovered 21 discrepancies with billing data, including 6 supplies discovered
Savings realised to date e.g.:
Exchanged faulty valves reducing overnight flow at 31HR (annual savings £773) or 390 m3 and an Olympic pool is 375 m3
Replaced faulty water pressure relief valve at 35HR (annual savings £1,030) or 520 m3
BEMS parameters adjusted at 35HR (annual savings £26K) Cover the impact the maintenance contractor has on facilities and how something simple like leaving the heating/cooling system on hand can cost over £26k per year.

The million dollar question with National Grid is often who is responsible for what sites. While we have a reasonable idea there is no definitive list held centrally which can cause much confusion and not just in regard energy. As a result our Energy manager Becky Fleet currently has queries with 45% of gas and electric supplies. Now that is a massive amount considering we have been through the meter verification previously and it proves the value of getting out from behind a desk and looking at what is actually out there.
This isn't helped by the fact any supplies located that have no defined line of business owner automatically get included into the corporate property bucket of properties.
This poor data then feeds through to Optima which is the system used by UES for the billing data and verification. You know what people say about crap in….... Crap out
So even though we now have very good data on our top 20 sites, currently UES don’t use that data to forecast and verify billing data. So we are currently working with both parties to maximise the benefit of the AMR’s installed so both parties can work together, exchange data and improve the billing consistency. While electricity in terms of HH supplies is currently good gas is very erratic and suffers from massive peaks and troughs over the course of the year and we should be using the AMR devices installed to make that leap forward in our reporting.
Is a management team Corporate Property runs a scorecard aimed at looking at all out key objectives and measuring progress. In terms of energy this historically was a result of our supply chain partners undertaking manual meter readings on out top 6 consuming sites. This caused many problems, firstly people often got the meter reading wrong, secondly they were more often or not submitted late.
So following the work we carried out to install AMR and the fact HH meters have always been providing data we have been able to plot a monthly comparison to the same period last year and paint a picture of the electricity reduction or increase.
Due to the poor data quality in regard gas and water this has not been possible, so we have no accurate picture on how we are doing in comparison to the same period last year. This issue will be resolved in March next year when we a one full year of data and this shows the need for good quality data to set expectation and accurately benchmark performance.
Buildings
Heating – turn heating down, replace inefficient boilers, install de-stratification fans (fans used in commercial and industrial buildings with high ceilings), shorten hours of operation
Ventilation – specify higher efficiency motors, consider variable speed fans, review time settings and turn off when not in use
Air-conditioning – review temperature controls, consider variable speed drives, free cooling (using external air as a source of cooling)
Lighting – install occupancy sensors, install daylight sensors, review and improve the maintenance plan (more regular maintenance), replace inefficient incandescent bulbs with high efficiency LED lighting or energy saving fluorescent lighting (for example, T5 lighting)
Building fabric – install cavity wall and roof insulation, install high
Building control – install a computer-based building management system, ensure control systems are set correctly for different weather conditions and occupancy levels, install variable speed drives
Industrial
Refrigeration – reduce the heat loads on systems through reduced air infiltration, free cooling, raise process temperatures, improve control of auxiliary equipment (pumps/fans), install better temperature control, keep doors closed, don’t overfill units, ensure lights are off inside units when not in use, clean condensers regularly
Motors and drives – install high efficiency motors, install variable speed drives, implement automatic switch off controls and procedures, install time switches, interlocks or sensors, monitor motor output to identify energy wastage
Transport
Fuel consumption – monitor fuel consumption, monitor driver fuel performance, conduct fuel efficiency driver training, invest in telematics systems that can identify areas for improvement
Driver fuel performance – can be enhanced by switching off the engine when safe to do so, minimising idling, shifting to higher gears earlier, accelerating and braking gently and smoothly, avoiding excessive speeds, use of cruise controls and closing windows at higher speeds. (Could be supported by linking to driver incentives.)
Routing and scheduling – review logistics routes, reduce empty running, maximise loads
Maintenance and vehicle improvements – tyre management, implement fleet renewal programme, aerodynamic improvements, improved maintenance schedules
