Including 5 closely related terms such as energy use, energy saving, and energy savings.
… and improvements to our heating system, to reduce emissions by over 4,000 tonnes / year and energy savings close to £1 million a year. This strategy therefore looks to build on this good practice and experience and continue to reduce our emissions in the future. We also continue to support emissions reductions from across Buckinghamshire in the way we deliver services, for example by: • Increasing…
… of lower emissions of oxides of nitrogen and sulphur dioxide. However, as the lockdown eases, transport movements have risen, and it is possible that the energy used by people working at home is greater than the energy required when they are working in commercial spaces (offices etc). Therefore, any transport emissions savings could be cancelled out (negated) by increased domestic property emissions…
… for watering gardens etc in periods of drought. This means that you don’t have to use drinking water for the same purpose and as producing drinking water uses energy etc you’ve reduced the emissions associated with watering gardens. Given the link between mitigation and adaptation measures, this strategy doesn’t list actions as being specifically one or the other type of measure. We have referenced…
… carbon emissions no later than 2050 To enable this comparison, it is necessary to estimate our emissions for 1990 as we do not hold accurate data on our emissions from this year. Data gathered during the carbon audit covered emissions as far back as 2009; we have assumed that energy usage (i.e. in kilowatt hours) was the same in 1990 as 2009, updating electricity emission with the correct…
… to managing the strategy, refining our processes, and building funds so that we can continuously improve delivery against our targets and objectives. Actions 1. Continued engagement with central government on air quality and greenhouse gas emissions issues. 2. Explore carbon offsetting fund and low carbon energy generation investment options. 3. Establish and maintain interdepartmental working…
