… of accelerating the Council’s investment in NERD Demonstrator Projects within the context of the delivery of the Council’s Capital Programme or wider investment opportunities in the public or private sector. This will include a pilot project as part of the Mauchline Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme which will trial new building energy efficiency measures on listed buildings. COP26 will provide us…
… the largest two elements of our energy consumption. Electricity is increasingly being generated from renewable energy sources and in time will provide a reliable source of green energy, however, to fully decarbonise heat, our use of fossil fuels to provide heat must be all but eliminated. Natural gas can no longer be used in offices and homes. New systems to provide virtually zero-carbon heat must…
… first’ approach to energy efficiency in refurbishment of existing buildings where possible, with the adoption of EnerPHit building standards and principles to drastically reduce energy demands through a focus on building physics. Where possible, our building refurbishments will also prioritise the migration from natural gas heating to zero direct emission heating to mitigate the increased…
… and fuel poverty reduction targets. Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy (LHEES) 38. The recently published Draft Heat in Buildings Strategy outlines how the Scottish Government intend to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Scotland’s homes, workplaces and community buildings and to remove poor energy performance as a driver of fuel poverty. To meet these objectives, the Scottish…
… Government is supporting a place based, locally led and tailored approach to heat decarbonisation and energy efficiency – The Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy (LHEES). The aim of an LHEES is to set a framework for the delivery programme of a targeted area-based scheme, led by local authorities, addressing how each local authority in Scotland will reduce their energy demand and decarbonise…
