Including 10 closely related terms such as heating systems, heating system, and heating.
… electrification of space heating systems be implemented, the predicted savings stated elsewhere in this report from fan/pump upgrades and BEMS/heating control optimisation may need to be discounted to avoid double-counting of emissions reductions. This has been accounted for in the Carbon Reduction Pathway in this plan. Electrification of space heating carbon reduction opportunities (3) Section 3: Carbon…
… 1 Scope 3 Scope 3 An explanation of excluded emissions is included in Appendix 1 1515 Section 2: Carbon footprint In the 2019 calendar year, 2,583 tCO2e were emitted from the Council’s own operations and associated activities. • Scope 1: gas (primarily for heating buildings) and transport fuel consumption in the Council’s own fleet; • Scope 2: electricity consumption within ELDC…
… to the extraction, refining and transportation of natural gas. • Options for mitigating emissions from gas heating include substitution with district heating systems and electric heat pumps, as well as improving building fabric materials to improve heating efficiency. • Electricity emissions are likely to decrease year on year as more renewables are integrated into the UK national electricity grid and more coal…
… implementable immediately, i.e. not within the next 1-3 years. It should be noted, however, that these measures are estimated to reduce the Council’s footprint by over 50%. Electrification of vehicle fleet and space heating systems recommendations assume that electricity is procured on renewable electricity tariffs until the UK electricity grid mix fully decarbonises. The emissions savings provided…
… of the gas-fired space heating systems within Council offices and Council-operated leisure facilities represents a significant carbon reduction opportunity. While replacing (in some cases) relatively efficient gas-fired heating systems with air source heat pumps (ASHPs) is not expected to result in significant energy or cost savings, this could potentially reduce ELDC’s carbon footprint by ~9%. ASHPs can…
