2.4 Recent energy saving schemes have included the application of solar film to Cunninghame House windows, installation of thermostatic valves to radiators, energy efficient lighting, installation of photovoltaic (electricity generation from light energy) panels to Cumbrae primary School and Bridgegate House. 2.5 In addition to reducing energy consumption, these projects also contribute towards carbon emission reductions. 2.6 Water conservation schemes have included rain water harvesting (use of rainwater for flushing) and installation of limited flow taps, with the latter having the potential to deliver over 40% savings. Energy and Water Usage Control and Monitoring 2.7 Nearly all Council owned premises are linked to a Building Energy Management System, currently managed from Perceton House, which controls temperature settings and monitors usage. The Utility Management system allows the actual electricity usage to be known to the nearest half hour. There is also Automatic Meter Reading Equipment installed to some gas meters. These all help to identify areas of excessive usage, where energy efficiency projects may help reduce consumption and also where previously executed projects may not be realising their full potential. Utility Account Management 2.8 Services pay for electricity, gas and water through their allocated budgets, but submit bills to the Energy Team for checking against the known energy consumption. 2.9 Account analysis has identified in excess of £400,000 of over-billing over the last three years which has been subsequently claimed back. 2.10 Advice is also provided to Services as to which tariff would be most economic to suit their usage and needs. All electricity, gas and water is procured centrally via Scottish Procurement using their risk management model for forward purchasing. The tender process is now taking place for the next three years electricity supply from April 2013. 2.11 A member of the Energy Team represents the Council on the Scottish Energy Officer’s Network (SEON) which helps negotiate the contract requirements for Scottish Procurement’s energy contracts. 196
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) 2.12 EPCs are a statutory requirement for buildings of 1,000 m 2 or over, but proposed amendments to the EU Directive are likely to reduce the qualifying area to 500 m 2 . This would increase the number of applicable buildings within North Ayrshire by 50. In addition, carbon emissions will form part of the certificate. The certificates are essentially an asset rating which compares existing properties against current energy and building standards. The certificates capture information on the building's energy efficiency and carbon emissions, comparing them to the potential emissions should improvements be made. 2.13 Each EPC is accompanied by a recommendation report which details suitable improvement measures with the potential cost and carbon savings, and these are currently non-statutory. Energy Self Audits 2.14 A software package is being developed by the Energy Team to allow building users to carry out their own energy audits. This will allow them to minimise expenditure on utilities usage. Energy Lessons and Eco Schools 2.15 The Energy Agency is commissioned to provide energy lessons to primary and secondary schools. These involve talks to school assemblies, individual classes or eco-committees and encourage pupils to take the message on energy efficiency back home. This forms part of the Curriculum for Excellence. 2.16 There is a Schools Environmental Projects Group which provide support to schools on the Eco Schools Energy Topic. This is supported by Education and Skills, the Infrastructure and Design Service Energy team and Environment and Related Services. ISO 50001 2.17 This sets standards for energy procedures and practices for energy management and the Energy Team is working towards the Council meeting these standards by October 2012. This will assist in monitoring and targeting reductions in energy use and consequent carbon emissions. 197
