Home Energy Efficiency improvements in the private sector (75 properties)
Ongoing development and use of virtual servers and implementation of power management on server infrastructure. Covid has led to a significant increase in home working with an estimated 14.78% off staff hours being spent working from home in the reporting period.

This programme is making our schools and public buildings more energy efficient and in the process contributing towards lower carbon emissions. Examples of this programme of work include the following: 1) The rewiring and Electrical upgrading of the stairwell lighting and Emergency lighting in the Kilncraigs building This Is the replacement of 63x28w circular fittings with more efficient 16w LED fittings and the fitting of 8x 3w exit boxes replacing the existing 8w ones. Energy savings are as follows Existing system total = 1828w New system total = 1152w Saving = 675w Cost of Installation is £16,268.00 Saving in yearly testing costs = £ 1,262.38 per year. There will also be a substantial saving in the maintenance cost of these lights because these units are guaranteed for three years so they will require less frequent replacement. 2) The Installation of a full new external Lighting system at Johnston court In Alva Involved the replacement of old 28w circular bulkheads with more efficient 16w LED circular bulkheads Existing system 38x28w total = 896w New system 38x16w total = 608w saving of 288w Cost of the Installation £5743.00 This system Is covered by a manufacturers 3 year guarantee so the maintenance cost compared to the old system is far better and the system Is more efficient. 3) The replacement of all external lighting at Marchside court with more efficient LED lighting. This Involved the replacement of old 28w circular bulkhead fitting with more efficient 16w LED fittings. The energy saving are as follows: Existing system 8x28w total = 224w New system 8x16w total = 128w Saving of 96w Cost of Installing £ 256.00 This system Is covered by a manufacturers 3 year Guarantee so the maintenance cost compared to the existing system is greatly reduced. 4) The upgrade of Emergency Lighting- within Menstrie OPH this lighting failed the recent testing programme so we have taken this work in house and decided to replace all the old units with more efficient self testing LED units which will also reduce future testing costs. The saving are as follows: Existing system 65x 8w units total = 520w Exit Boxes 6x8w total = 48w New system 65x3w units total = 186w Exit boxes 6x3w total = 18w saving of 364w Cost of units = £ 1423.75 The saving forecast on the testing alone is £1,173.48 per year so the units will pay for themselves In less than 2 years. 5) Alloa Family Centre Upgrade of emergency lighting following testing. Is We have taken this work In house and have decided to Install more efficient self test units with a view to also reducing further testing costs and maintenance issues. The cost and energy saving are as follows: Existing system 30x38w units total = 240w Old 600x600 tubed panels 13x120w =1560w New system 30x3w units total= 90w 600x600 LED panels 13x60w = 780w saving of 930w Cost of replacement units £1,095.90 The savings forecast on saving on testing alone Is £764.54 per year so the units pay for themselves in less than 2 years. 6) Menstrie PS upgrade of emergency lighting system following testing to LED self testing units reducing energy and maintenance costs the saving were as follows: Existing system: 20x28w circular bulkheads total = 560w 17x8w rectangular bulkheads = 136w New system: 20x16w LED circular bulkheads = 320w 17x3w Led Bulkheads =51w Saving 325w Cost of replacement units £962.15 The yearly savings forecast on testing alone £ 657.86. so the new units pay for themselves in less than 2 years. 7) Marshill House upgrade to emergency lights following testing to self testing LED units and energy savings are as follows Existing lights 15x8w bulkheads total = 120w New system 15x3wbulkheads total = 45w saving 75w Cost of units £284.25 Savings forecast from testing alone = £266.70 per year New units will pay for themselves In less than 2 years. 8) Banchory PS upgrade to lighting following emergency lighting. Testing this work will be carried out in house and changed to more efficient LED lighting. The energy and testing savings are as follows: Existing lights 16x8w bulkheads total = 128w Replacement 16x3w bulkheads total = 48w saving 80w Cost of units £303.20 Savings forecast on testing alone £284.48 New units pay for themselves in less than 2 years
Ongoing development and use of Virtual servers
From April 2020 to April 2021 there was 162 gas installs completed with greater energy efficiency than the ones they replaced. From April this year to date there has been 17 new installs completed.
During 2020/21, £475,956 of energy efficiency savings were provided within the community bringing the total of savings since incorporating the HEAT team into our Energy Efficiency projects to £2,525,288 and equates to 37,345.45 Lifetime Total CO2 Savings (Tonnes). It is considered that the HEAT team provide a lasting legacy of energy efficiency advice and education that goes far beyond the installation of EES ABS measures.

Enabling works/pre-construction - Construction of new Campus at Tullibody South – closure of 1 Primary School, 1 Civic Centre/library/nursery Data figures are being captured but this requires to be formalised to allow to accurately identify the carbon savings. It is envisaged that that the establishment of a Carbon Management Group or similar type body will allow for more accurate figures in future reports.
