Including 4 closely related terms such as heating system, heating, and heating.
… consider appropriate for each building's individual requirements, but the below provide the key methods for reducing emissions: • Led Lighting • Wall and roof insulation • Replacement windows where possible • Move away from fossil fuel boilers, including air / ground source heat pumps • Improved heating system controls • Renewable installations (e.g. solar PV panels) • Heat recovery from…
… by the Council. Scope 2 emissions are indirect greenhouse gas emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling. They are accounted for by the reporting organisation as they are a result of the organisation’s energy use. Scope 3 emissions include all sources not within an organisation’s scope 1 and 2 boundaries. Scope 3 emissions often represent the majority…
… on the performance of the building itself, which includes things like heating and lighting. The certificate also lists the potential rating, and this indicates what can be achieved if all the recommended cost-effective measures are to be installed. Energy efficiency ratings will vary according to the age, location, size and condition of the building. The potential rating on the certificate will take…
… the need for boiler replacements and the upgrading of lighting to LEDs. Additionally, thinking about the need for re-roofing, roof and wall insulation means that we can find places to save energy when it comes to reducing heat loss. Similarly, we will look for places where the installation of solar panel systems might be helpful. There are a range of different interventions the Council could…
… mechanical ventilation systems. Building management systems (BMS) might also be installed, where a building’s electrical and mechanical equipment can be controlled and regulated. This includes lighting control, heating, and ventilation, for example. Similarly, an evaluation of buildings might also include building rationalisation, where we look into ways to simplify buildings in order to improve…
