This document outlines Perth & Kinross Council's path to achieving net zero carbon emissions from its buildings. It discusses challenges such as decarbonizing the electricity grid and electrifying heat. It also describes the council's initial failings with energy modeling and steps taken to address them, including developing staff training, creating detailed modeling specifications, and improving post-occupancy evaluation. The document advocates for a fabric first approach and passivhaus standards to reduce energy consumption while acknowledging passivhaus has limitations and dynamic energy modeling is still required.
How Local Authorities can meet Net-Zero Carbon targets by 2030: Chris Anton
- 1. PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL PATH TO NET ZERO 0 5,000,000 10,000,000 15,000,000 20,000,000 25,000,000 PKC Building CO₂ kg Emissions PKC Building CO2 Emissions
- 2. WHAT MAKES THE PATH TO NETZERO NOT SO SMOOTH?? • Decarbonistaion of grid & grid capacity • Electrification of heat • Hydrogen • District Heating • Conflicting LA policies/strategies/programmes • Financial Reporting Vs. Carbon Reporting • Capital/Revenue Budgets constraints • Increased building use • Increasing population and building GIFA • Lack of Resources • A lot of talk and not enough action
- 3. FOCUS ON REDUCING CONSUMPTION • Energy Modelling • Data Analytics • Building Management Systems • Fabric First Approach
- 4. PKC ENERGY MODELLING INITIAL FAILINGS • Standard training programme • Specifications not detailed • Implementation within construction programme stages • Modelling used for section 6 compliance • Handover of completed models
- 5. 1. DEVELOPED TRAINING & INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE • Employed Professional Trainees • Employed Modern Apprentices • Invested in Graduate Scheme • Consultant based training • Focus on analysing and developing standards • Apache HVAC training • Set a programme of works for staff to use skills
- 6. 2. DETAILED SPECIFICATION • Worked with specialists • Detailed data requirements for Models • Concept & Developed Model • Design Work Groups • Detailed Strategies to improve data analytics during in use stage • Set requirement for Modelling on all projects
- 7. 3. IMPROVING POST OCCUPANCY EVALUATION • iSCAN Software • Performance against Developed Model • Set Reporting timelines • Sub-metering Strategies • Data Quality • Combined Performance Review
- 8. NEXT STEPS • Passivhaus Positives • Client focus on requirements • Move away from outdated design methods • PHPP software focuses on predicted loads • Certification for build quality • Focus on simple build form • Focus on good air quality Negatives • Doesn’t get to NetZero • Dynamic Energy Modelling is still required • Capital costs increasing • Revenue costs increasing • We cant champion without data
