Low Carbon Skills Fund Phase 5 secures £16 million (Public sector)

What is the Public Sector Low Carbon Skills Fund?

To make Net Zero more achievable, the UK Public Sector is taking a strong stance by setting a target to reduce emissions in public sector buildings by 75% by 2037 (against a 2017 baseline). With over 300,000 individual properties under its wing, accounting for around 2% of the UK’s total emissions, the Public Sector Low Carbon Skills Fund has come to support.

The Public Sector Low Carbon Skills Fund (LCSF) offers grants to public sector organisations to develop heat decarbonisation plans. These plans help prepare for the procurement and delivery of heat decarbonisation and energy efficiency works. This includes investing in upskilling and seeking expert advice to create more robust energy efficiency strategies.

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero of the British government manages the LCSF scheme, which is delivered by Salix Finance. This phase of the programme aims to strategically position organisations and better prepare them to align with the UK’s 2050 net zero target.

Low Carbon Skills Fund Phase 5 has been announced for the new financial year 2024 to 2025.

Building Resilience for Extreme Weather with ETS Solutions

Unprecedented effects of climate change are on the rise and in evidence, where extreme heatwaves and wildfires have occurred in Southern Europe within the last week. This year, summer in the UK has been warmer so far compared to last summer, with June temperatures being at an all-time high. However, this July, it has shown polarizing weather patterns with rain and grey clouds as opposed to the 40C heatwave in Southern Europe. Despite this, the Met Office has not ruled out that the UK could also experience a heatwave in the coming weeks. Whilst the heatwave can be deemed favorable for some people, with a trip to the beach or taking on outdoor activities, it poses a grave threat to businesses and their occupants.

Businesses need to prepare for unprecedent weather patterns like heatwaves as it can rapidly overwhelm internal conditions of a business asset; particularly if the asset is not well equipped with architectural or technological advancements such as building optimization and designs, BMS controls and energy-efficient HVAC technologies. If it is done correctly, a well-regulated internal condition can improve occupancy and minimize health risks. Additionally, businesses can reap financial benefits where it can help reduce energy costs, operating costs, and maintenance costs. Therefore, it is crucial for businesses to optimize the building performance and energy efficiency of their asset.

Commonly, businesses have uncontrolled and unlocked HVAC controls within their assets which allows anyone to control HVAC parameters to their liking at any time. However, this could be costly and destabilize internal conditions if it is mismanaged. For example, one system is trying to cool the area to reach 20C whilst the other is trying to heat the area to 22°C. Thus, it is imperative to integrate HVAC units with the BMS or consider implementing a BMS strategy where the system has the same control parameters. Failure to do so, could lead to local AC units fighting the centralized heating system, resulting in occupants complaining or as far placing the occupant’s health at risk. There are multiple long-term benefits to BMS controls, however it serves most effective during extreme weather conditions like a heatwave because occupants will not be accustomed to the scorching weather and will profusely demand businesses to operate within comfortable internal conditions.

Final thoughts

At ETS, we take a data-driven and technological approach to help enhance efficiency and control with BMS and automation. With the use of legacy systems and tailored smart solutions, our Automation Controls provide a holistic service from design and specification, installation, and commissioning, to maintenance and seasonal tuning.

Harnessing Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Energy Efficiency: The Future is Here.

Artificial Intelligence breakthroughs are becoming more and more common. Everyone is racing to understand how ChatGPT can revolutionise their world. Unfortunately, ChatGPT’s attempt at this blog didn’t quite cut it…

One of the big concerns or threats of AI when it appears in Sci-Fi pop culture is whether AI will allow the machines to overthrow and replace us, their human overlords. Fortunately, despite several good uses of Artificial Intelligence technologies, that doesn’t seem to be likely just yet within Energy Management. However, that doesn’t mean that AI hasn’t drastically improved our capabilities.

Smart buildings

Smart buildings rely on automated control of their various systems to minimise energy consumption. BMS systems make use of IoT (Internet of Things) technologies to react to conditions as they change, rather than requiring a manual input from a maintenance engineer or energy manager.

This may not seem related to AI at first thought, but AI has been around for a long time and doesn’t only refer to machines that “think” like a human. Artificial Intelligence also includes computer systems that can make pre-determined decisions from a multitude of different inputs. In this case these inputs are a range of sensors measuring light level, temperature, air quality, water pressure and more throughout the building.

Even with a BMS installed, a building isn’t always guaranteed to be operating as efficiently as it can be. A key part of energy management is analysing consumption data; either for the entire building at main meter level, or on certain circuits to identify issues with specific assets at sub meter level, or a combination of both.

working with large estates

When working with large estates, or when analysing data for a longer period of time, it is not always straight-forward how to pinpoint the biggest faults and issues in a dataset. Fortunately, AI is well suited to “grunt-work” in data analysis and there are several platforms that can identify anomalies in consumption profiles very quickly, and certainly more cost-effectively than a human energy manager could.

The AI model is trained using data from a baseline period – usually 12 months. Sometimes it is possible to use a shorter baseline, but due to seasonality it is best to allow the models to use a full 12 months of data to understand and define what “normal” consumption is for the building. The models will then use external factors, such as outside temperature (and derived heating/cooling degree days) to compare the actual consumption to the adjusted expected consumption. If these are outside a pre-configured tolerance, then the anomaly is raised for an energy manager or engineer to investigate.

identify and isolate an anomaly

AI systems are able to identify and isolate an anomaly, but I am yet to see a solution that can then explain why the anomaly has occurred and what the steps to resolve the issue are without human input. The data models continuously improve by processing inputs from an energy manager or engineer after they’ve investigated the issue and either:
  • confirm that this was not an anomaly and was caused by an operational change on site. If this is the case, the model then learns not to raise similar issues in future.
  • confirm this anomaly relates to a fault and tells the model to continue to raise similar anomalies if they occur.

Of course, when you combine the two use cases, the learnings from analysing consumption can be used to reprogram the BMS to then prevent similar occurrences from happening in future. 

AI is a productivity tool

Right now, AI is a productivity tool within Energy Management, enabling us to proactively prevent wasted consumption on site using a well-programmed BMS, and reactively identify any anomalies in energy consumption. It allows us to work much more efficiently and spend our time resolving issues, rather than trying to identify them. 

BMS technologies have recently started to go one step further, and AIoT (Artificial intelligence of things) is the combination of IoT technologies with systems that “think” for themselves and adjust building controls automatically based on the inputs they receive. 

AIoT BMS systems may be the first step on the road to completely automating energy management, but at ETS we aren’t quite ready to remove our 25+ years of energy management experience from the solution we offer to our clients. If we find a way to download and preserve that knowledge within the systems, perhaps it will then be time for us to put our feet up and relax…

Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting (SECR) – Updates

Streamlined Energy and Carbon reporting was introduced as part of the Companies (Directors’ Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018 to encourage organizations to report on a range of environmental matters including their energy and GHG emissions and the use of key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The report is expected to give organizations a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

If you are a UK registered quoted company, a large unquoted company, or a large Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), then you are required to include your energy and carbon information in your directors’ report. The guidance for streamlined energy and carbon reporting was published in March 2019 and took effect on 1 April 2019.

MANDATORY CLIMATE-RELATED FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

The Climate-related Financial Disclosure became a mandatory requirement for companies required to present a strategic report for the financial year starting on or after 6th April 2022.

All UK companies (quoted companies, large unquoted companies, or large LLP) that are currently required to produce a non-financial information statement will need to disclose how climate-related risks are identified, accessed, and managed. The actual and potential impacts of these risks are to be analyzed, and KPIs should also be used to set targets and gauge performance. This will form part of your organization’s Non-Financial and Sustainability Information Statement in your 2023 energy and carbon report.

According to the department for business, energy, and industrial strategy, it comprises of identifying the physical and transition risks of climate change on investment and business decisions. Climate change has resulted in higher average temperatures which pose physical risks such as the increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events which could affect the organization’s operations. To address climate change, the government has introduced certain regulations and strategies, for example the net-zero strategy, which will drive a change in technology, markets, policies and customer sentiment. The risks associated with this transition will need to be addressed.

It is intended that this disclosure will help companies identify the impacts, risks and opportunities associated with climate change and make relevant decisions on what can be done to address these for the organization, operations, and people. It will also better equip investors and provide greater information to other stakeholders.

How can ETS help?

The qualification criteria and requirements for SECR and the new mandatory climate-related financial disclosure are complex and can be challenging for organizations to ensure compliance.

One building or a large estate. Every Energy Saving Matters.

Complying with Carbon Regulations: A Chance to Drive Commercial Growth and Achieve CSR Goals

There have been drastic changes to company goals over the years. Focus is no longer just on productivity as it pertains to economic and business performance but also on achieving ESG and sustainable goals. Carbon reporting is now becoming a major demand for shareholders and customers as there is an interest to see how businesses are performing commercially and environmentally.

Finding the right balance between commercial and carbon goals can be a challenge for businesses. There is the desire to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions without incurring greater costs. Another challenge is the lack of skill that can efficiently bridge the gap and ensure that both commercial and carbon targets are met. The false notion that one target must be sacrificed over another limits innovation and mitigation.

With the government pushing for a robust legal and regulatory framework to meet national and global carbon targets, businesses will need to take responsibility to comply with these changes. Rather than viewing this as a forced agenda it is possible to take advantage of the situation to drive commercial growth, pursue carbon targets, reduce energy costs, and satisfy companies CSR plans.

A Sustainable Solution

ETS has a sustainable solution to energy management and carbon emission reductions:

  • Policy and planning – These are strategies that filter across the different organizational teams that impact energy. It also covers governance and compliance to meet company targets. The organization can benefit from government investments channeled towards carbon reduction and green technology. This means that company finances can be utilized in other areas where needed.
  • Data and diagnostics – Having the right data is a start to driving efficiency as inefficiencies and saving opportunities can be easily identified. A detailed analysis of energy use and costs is no longer done in isolation but can be compared to commercial key performance indicators such as occupancy, sales, and revenue.
  • Optimization and implementation – Implementation and control of suggested solutions following data diagnostics can ensure that systems can be put in place to improve performance. Optimization creates real-time benefits for the business, clients and stakeholders as information can be readily available.
  • Monitoring, measurement, and analytics – Insight through reoccurring data can be used to monitor, measure, and propose adjustments to the energy coming in and out of the business. This is done to international performance measurement & verification standards (IPMVP).
  • Audit and Iteration – Continual improvement to policy, data, optimization, and performance to achieve a recognizable, sustainable, and auditable energy management system.

How can ETS help?

ETS not only employs the engineering aspect of detecting and analysing but we are also equipped with the knowledge and resources to implement, control, and automate. We are also able to take you through the process of implementing strategies that could help businesses get government benefits to meet your carbon targets. To discuss your requirements, get in touch.

balancing business environmental needs thats smart energy management

Historically, many businesses have been primarily motivated to maximize profits and never had altruistic reasons to help protect the environment. Now everyone has been placed in a predicament where climate change and environmental degradation has led to unprecedented changes to the planet. This is spurring businesses to become environmentally conscious. However, businesses are reluctant to make that change, in fear that it would affect their main objectives and goals. This is where the problem lies. There is a common misconception that environmental sustainability cannot coexist with other business goals, namely profit maximization and perpetual growth. Businesses need to be made aware that there are proven concepts that integrate environmental means into a business, which can encourage innovation and disrupt the market for the better. Also, it helps a business to remain commercially relevant and resilient against any foreseeable climate-related risks. Therefore, it is upon businesses to find the best balance between business and environmental needs to achieve their goals.

DIGITAL VERSUS PHYSICAL

Most individuals and organizations are aware of the benefits of efficient energy management system. However, they tend to shy away from it because of the effort and skills required to collate data, to analyze data and to maintain an efficient system. 

Having the correct set of data is necessary to create a clear picture of your energy inputs and outputs. This makes it easy for inefficiencies and energy saving opportunities to be identified. However, the manual task of having to track energy use, costs and carbon emissions can be tedious and is prone to human errors. 

Digitalization in energy management is important for optimal tracking, reporting and control as well being able to collect data efficiently and effectively. It is referred to as smart energy management because it involves the use of computerized information, and it reduces the risk associated with manually managing an energy management system. 

Finding the balance

Improper management of your energy data and systems can be discouraging and frustrating for your business. At ETS, we have a competent team and resources to meet this challenge. We manage your energy management system by using energy data available in an insightful way to identify inefficiencies and saving opportunities.
