Including 6 closely related terms such as use energy, building energy, and energy saving.
… its GHG emissions, in both buildings and transport. These measures include energy efficiency, technological upgrades, expansion of on-site renewables, and behavioural change (increasing awareness and encouraging staff to use energy efficiently). In addition, we are also looking at opportunities to switch energy supplies to low carbon/renewable energy tariffs. Net Zero Reduction Pathways…
… trajectory modelled using the Science Based Targets Initiative, based on their Better than 2°C Scenario5. This approach considers sectoral change (forecast growth, decarbonisation of electricity grids) across different industry sectors. All building energy scenarios and Net Zero trajectories are based on the Council’s location-based6 GHG emissions footprint, assuming that energy supplies are sourced…
…. Each scenario is designed to demonstrate the relative impacts of implementing suggested reductions measures for the property portfolio and transport assets. A combined scenario (assuming all transport and building energy reduction measures are implemented) has been modelled to demonstrate the maximum potential reductions that can be achieved. Page 13 of 31 4.4 Combined Maximum Reduction…
… 2021/22. ✓ Maximum energy saving is achieved in the first-year post installation with energy consumption remaining at a lower level thereafter. ✓ Transition of commercial fleet to EV in two phases - FY 2025/26 and FY 2029/30. ✓ Grey fleet mileage reduces at 5% per annum with assumed increase in use of EV/hybrid vehicles. ✓ Page 14 of 31 4.5 Building Maximum Reduction Pathway…
… This scenario details the maximum possible reductions and savings from implementing all energy efficiency measures (outlined in Section 3.1) across the property portfolio. As with the Combined Maximum scenario significant GHG emissions reductions are modelled to occur during the 2021/22 reporting year. This scenario assumes that the maximum amount of energy saving is achieved in the first year (post…
