The document discusses tools for reducing energy demand such as the Green Deal and Energy Company Obligation programs in the UK. It notes that while tools for demand reduction are being developed, the key challenge is generating demand for their use. It suggests reframing questions around low carbon contributions rather than emissions cuts. Motivating savings rather than waste is also discussed. Setting energy efficient exemplars in normal homes, not just super homes, could help make low carbon living normal. Reinvigorating citizens as active influencers rather than passive consumers is presented as important for increasing demand.

High time we switch to led lighting
Most homeowners and businesses want to improve the appearance of their properties, and lighting plays a significant role in achieving this. As lifestyles have advanced, people have become more aware of technology and the environment, making more informed decisions about lighting and other purchases. LED lighting is being adopted more as it is cheaper and more compact than traditional lighting, saving both space and money. According to U.S. estimates, widespread use of LEDs could save 195 terawatt hours of electricity per year, equivalent to $15 billion in savings. LEDs use up to 75% less electricity than incandescent bulbs and last much longer.

There is increasing pressure on energy producers from climate risks. One key concept which is gaining prominence in lieu of the risks is “Carbon Bubble” and the related impact of divestment movement. As a part of the Paris climate agreement, 192 countries reaffirmed their commitment to reduce emissions and limiting the global temperature increase to less than 20C. Energy producing companies are under scrutiny from investors, shareholders, employees and customers and other related stakeholders to reduce carbon footprint and to demonstrate that their business are aligned to help build an efficient “Low Carbon Portfolio”.

Webinar - Creating an SDMP for your NHS trust
The document summarizes a webinar about creating an SDMP (Sustainable Development Management Plan) for an NHS Trust. It includes presentations from three speakers: Claire Igoe from Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust discussing their experience developing and implementing an SDMP; Alex Hammond from ETL discussing shaping an SDMP to a Trust's needs and making it engaging; and Adam Newman from Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust discussing the value of an SDMP for an NHS organization.
Creating an SDMP for your NHS Trust
The NHS Sustainability Campaign has been advocating the mandatory implementation of Sustainable Development Management Plans for the past year.
SDMPs, as they are often referred to, are not currently a mandatory requirement for any NHS Trust. They are part of the NHS Contract, but not reported on or considered when measuring performance.
This is leading to carbon measures been ignored by over 30% of the NHS Trusts in England, thats around 80 Trusts! This is staggering and also demonstrative of the lack of leadership needed to drive sustainability.
As part of our campaign to support Trusts with SDMP's we hosted a webinar, CPD accredited, on December 6th. The webinar explored how to create an SDMP, what is needed at implementation, how to get top-level engagement and much more!
Sponsored by WRM who had Adam Newman, Sustainability Lead for Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust speaking on their behalf.

Reducing Energy Costs with Behavioural Science
1) The document discusses using behavioural science and "nudges" to encourage more sustainable behaviors and reduce energy costs, particularly in healthcare settings like hospitals.
2) It provides examples of behavioral interventions that have been successfully implemented in the NHS, such as prompts to increase organ donation and reminders to reduce missed appointments.
3) It describes a behavior change pilot project at NHS Barts that used education, prompts, and social norms to encourage closing doors, turning off lights, and shutting down unused equipment, resulting in 800 tons of CO2 saved and £105,000 in annual energy cost savings.
Jim Halter Sustainability Presentation 2011
The document discusses the need for sustainability given the depletion of natural resources and increasing population and waste. It outlines how Waste Management responded by creating sustainability teams to transform operations and culture. The teams focused on optimizing material value, efficient transportation, sustainability practices, and municipal partnerships. This led Waste Management to implement metrics and benchmarks to track progress, and establish a vision of meeting environmental responsibilities while driving business opportunities and shareholder return through sustainability.
Climate Change + Sustainability =The New Business Model For the Future
Climate change and sustainability are shaping the new business model for the future. Businesses need to assess how environmental impacts will affect their revenues, costs, profits and more. Those that prepare by developing sustainability initiatives and green skills training will have a competitive advantage over those that do not adapt to this changing environment.

Two Approaches of Seasonal Heat Storing | Ebbe Munster
The document discusses two approaches to seasonal heat storage: borehole thermal energy storage and pit heat storage. For borehole thermal energy storage in Braedstrup, 19,000 cubic meters of soil were used at a cost of 240,000 euros. For pit heat storage in Marstal, 75,000 cubic meters of water were used at a cost of 2.4 million euros. Preliminary results show the borehole storage recovered 44% of stored heat while the pit storage recovered 18% of stored heat during the first part of the season. The biggest challenges were unpredictable soil conditions for borehole storage and weather dependence for pit storage.

Why Energy Storage? | Grant Wilson
The document discusses why energy storage is important for balancing energy supply and demand. It notes that energy storage has always played a role in matching supply to changing demands over different timescales. However, the tasks for which energy storage is needed are changing as energy systems decarbonize and incorporate more variable renewable sources like wind. Large-scale energy storage for seasonal balancing will likely rely on fuels or thermal storage rather than electrochemical storage due to cost considerations. Shorter-term within-day balancing could utilize a wider variety of storage technologies at different scales.

The Role of Storage in Smart Energy Systems | Henrik Lund
This document discusses the role of energy storage in smart energy systems. It begins by defining smart energy systems as an approach that combines and coordinates smart electricity, thermal, and gas grids to identify synergies between sectors to achieve optimal solutions. Energy storage plays a key role in integrating renewable energy sources. Different types of energy storage are compared, including pump hydro storage, natural gas storage, oil tanks, and thermal storage. Power-to-heat, power-to-transport, and power-to-gas/liquid fuels are identified as important technologies to balance renewable energy sources hourly through various storage methods. The overall goal is a least-cost, 100% renewable energy system modeled hourly using tools like EnergyPLAN to analyze synergies between smart
Energy storage in urban multi-energy systems | Marco Carlo Masoero
This document discusses energy storage in urban multi-energy systems. It outlines electrical energy storage (EES) and thermal energy storage (TES), describing their various roles and technologies. EES can help integrate distributed generation and provide grid flexibility and ancillary services. TES allows decoupling of heat generation and use in district heating. Both are key to efficient multi-energy systems at urban scales. The document also briefly discusses power-to-fuels technologies that can store renewable energy as synthetic methane or hydrogen.

It aims to share challenges and solutions, and build capacity across Scottish sectors. ICARB holds annual conferences in Scotland on topics like metrics, methods, sectoral accounting, and city-level accounting. It also organizes workshops on building energy mitigation and storage. The most recent conference was in 2014 on energy accounting.
Global Protocol for Community Scale GHG Accounting | Susan Carstairs
The document summarizes a trial application of the Global Protocol for Community Scale GHG Accounting (GPC) in Lochaber, Scotland. The results showed high per capita emissions of 18.77 tons of CO2e compared to the national average, due to large local industries like smelting and quarrying. Compiling the data required high, medium, and low quality sources. While the GPC provided a consistent method, areas like transport emissions and tourism effects were complex. A local emissions inventory could help motivate emissions reductions but should also account for consumption-based emissions, which studies show to be higher than territorial emissions.
City Level Carbon Accounting | Philip Scott
This document summarizes research into carbon accounting at the city level in Scotland and continental Europe. It finds that Scottish cities account for carbon individually with little collaboration, while collaboration is stronger in cities in countries like Denmark, Norway, and Germany due to organizations that facilitate information sharing. The research also identifies methodological issues with city-level carbon accounting and recommends solutions like higher collaboration through an independent organization, simplified methodologies, clearer data sources, and an integrated tool to improve transparency, accuracy, completeness and comparability of accounting.
Accounting for Carbon in Copenhagen | Morten Hojer
The document discusses Copenhagen's efforts to become carbon neutral by 2025. It summarizes that over the past 20 years, Copenhagen's economy grew 25% while reducing GHG emissions 40%, showing that climate action and economic growth can go hand in hand. Copenhagen has identified initiatives that could reduce emissions by 1.2 million tons of CO2e annually through 2025, requiring major public and private investments totaling over 36 billion euros. The document argues Copenhagen's experience shows the economic benefits of early and ambitious climate action in cities.

The document discusses key topics in carbon accounting for cities and communities from lessons learned in business carbon accounting. It outlines three main things: 1) Harmonization through common standards, processes, and platforms for data exchange and validation. 2) Assessment including establishing an emissions baseline, measuring performance against targets, and holistic evaluation. 3) Emerging trends such as benchmarking, full lifecycle analysis, and industrial ecology through industrial symbiosis and resource efficiency networks.
Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories | Cha...
The document summarizes the Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories (GPC). It describes the GPC's development by ICLEI, C40, and WRI to provide a standardized framework for cities to measure and report their greenhouse gas emissions. The GPC outlines key components such as defining organizational and operational boundaries, classifying emission sources by sector and scope, and providing three reporting levels (basic, basic+, expanded). Version 2.0 of the GPC improved the reporting framework with additional subsectors, adjusted sector definitions for different reporting levels, and added guidance on goals, calculations, and data sources. The GPC aims to help cities take climate action and benchmark their mitigation performance over
Review of Domestic Level Carbon Accounting Tools: Lessons from a Passive Hous...
This document reviews and compares various domestic carbon accounting tools for assessing the carbon footprint of buildings, based on a case study of a Passive House. It analyzes tools such as the Athena Impact Estimator, Basic Freight Modelling Calculator, EcoTransit, RICS SMM7, and others. For each tool, it provides details on how it works and calculates carbon emissions, and evaluates its strengths and limitations for domestic building carbon assessment. In general, it finds that the tools provide varied levels of accuracy and customization, with many relying on approximations, limited construction options, or non-domestic data that impact their suitability for UK building carbon analysis.
CDP Progress & Challenges for Cities | Amanda Haworth
This document summarizes a presentation given by Amanda Haworth Wiklund of CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) about CDP's work with corporations and cities on climate change issues. It provides an overview of CDP, including its mission to collect and share environmental data from companies. It then summarizes key findings from CDP's 2014 corporate and cities reports, such as continued emissions increases among top emitters, opportunities for large companies to reduce emissions in carbon-intensive activities, and actions being taken by cities to reduce their climate impacts.
Making Emissions Inventories Comparable and Useful | Sebastian Carney
The document discusses making emissions inventories more useful. It recommends focusing on the future rather than the past and establishing clear goals. A PESTLE analysis can help identify political, economic, social, and technological factors. An inventory should include emissions factors, data sources, and risks. Consistent reporting formats and representing uncertainty are important. Scrumcasting can bring together users and suppliers to identify roles and develop scenarios. The overall aim is to establish what can be done and present data consistently to build capacity.

Glasgow has set targets to reduce its carbon emissions in line with these goals. The document outlines Glasgow's carbon emissions inventory by sector and energy consumption trends. It also describes Glasgow's sustainable energy action plan process for setting emissions reduction targets and monitoring progress. Challenges and opportunities for improving carbon accounting are discussed.
Vision for a Renewable Scotland: Are We All Better Together? | Iain Staffell
The document discusses the potential impacts of splitting electricity markets between Scotland and England & Wales. It notes that by 2020 there could be 10 GW of wind capacity in Scotland and 13 GW in England & Wales. Splitting the markets could lead to lower and more volatile wholesale prices in Scotland, reducing incentives for further capacity development. However, residential electricity prices in Scotland could be around 10% lower than if the markets remained unified. The document also briefly outlines growth in other renewable technologies like solar and marine power through 2030.
