DECARBONISATION: The War on Carbon

What are the implications for 2019?…… and beyond……

What is Decarbonisation?

6

• The reduction or removal ofcarbon dioxide emissions fromenergy sources.

Why the urge?• The Paris Agreement, which the

UK Government has signed-up to,commits to:

• Mandatory greenhouse gasemission targets set in the UKClimate Change Act, whichrequires emissions to be cut by80% by 2050 compared to 1990levels.

• “ To limit the increase in theglobal average temperatures towell below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuingefforts to limit the temperatureincrease to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, recognizing thatthis would significantly reducethe risks and impacts of climatechange”

Climate change: How 1.5C degrees of global warming could change the world

• Pushing the Committee onClimate Change to recommendmore stringent carbon reductiontargets for all constructionsectors.

Fuel Prices and CO2 FactorsThe implications of adopting SAP 10

Grid Electricity is decarbonised by 55% compared to SAP2012

There are two main implications-• The first is that the carbon emissions

from electric heating will now reflect the current reality, instead of being many years out of date.

• The second is that technologies generating electricity, such as gas-engine CHP and PV, will only be credited with reducing carbon by the amount of current grid carbon electricity, instead of the historic figure used in SAP 2012.

DRAFT LONDON PLAN KEY FIGURES – PLANNING PERSPECTIVE

Page 12: AIG + Partners · Rohan Shiram Energy & Sustainability Director Centrica Business Solutions 2 1.Decarbonisation: The War on carbon 2.New Draft London Plan and its implications 3.BREEAM

12

CURRENT LONDON PLAN POLICY – ENERGY TARGETSEnergy strategies for development in London are guided by the current version of Chapter 5 of the London Plan and the relevant policies contained within:

Page 13: AIG + Partners · Rohan Shiram Energy & Sustainability Director Centrica Business Solutions 2 1.Decarbonisation: The War on carbon 2.New Draft London Plan and its implications 3.BREEAM

13

DRAFT LONDON PLAN POLICY – ENERGY TARGETS The draft plan replaces the policies previously contained within Chapter 5 with Chapter 9 – Sustainable Infrastructure.

Page 14: AIG + Partners · Rohan Shiram Energy & Sustainability Director Centrica Business Solutions 2 1.Decarbonisation: The War on carbon 2.New Draft London Plan and its implications 3.BREEAM

14

The overall policy target relating to carbon emissions remains a 35% on-site reduction beyond Part L 2013 standards, with zero carbon offset through a cash-in-lieu contribution (or verifiable offsite measures).

There are however a number of changes:

• ‘Be Lean’ target - raised from Part L compliance, to a residential target of 10% improvement through demand reduction and energy efficiency measures and 15% for non-residential (to be reviewed subject to Part L amendments).

• New fourth tier – ‘Be Seen’. This requires annual monitoring and reporting of post-construction energy demand and carbon emissions for a period of at least 5 years.

• An acknowledgement on operational emissions - showing a declining proportion of overall emissions, and a whole life-cycle approach to capture: o Unregulated emissions (cooking and appliances).

• Embodied emissions – raw material extraction, manufacture, transport and construction. o Maintenance and material disposal.

DRAFT LONDON PLAN POLICY – ENERGY TARGETS

Page 15: AIG + Partners · Rohan Shiram Energy & Sustainability Director Centrica Business Solutions 2 1.Decarbonisation: The War on carbon 2.New Draft London Plan and its implications 3.BREEAM

15

• All referable applications will be required to undertake whole life-cycle carbon emission assessments, with major non-referable development required to calculate unregulated emissions as a minimum.

• Carbon offset payment is proposed to increase from £60/tonne for 30 years to £95/tonne (although with boroughs still able to set their own payment levels).

• Energy strategies are required to include additional details including: o Plan for monitoring and reporting of energy demand and CO2 emissions for at least 5 years post-

construction. o Proposals to address air quality risks.o A strategy for achieving zero carbon on-site by 2050. o Analysis of costs to occupants of energy strategy

• Grid-sourced electricity Carbon factors - , reduced from 0.519kgCO2/kWh to 0.233kgCO2/kWh. This has two key effects:

o Reduces emissions from electric heating systems – direct electric and heat pumps Reduces benefit of onsite electricity generation – solar PV and CHP

Air

Through good design specification CWG buildings and Estate enhance internal and external air quality.

• Design envelope and entryways to minimise

pollution infiltration

• Design ventilation system to eliminate external

pollutants

• Prevent mound and microbe growth by using

UV treatment

• Select healthy material to improve indoor air

quality

• Provide Smoke free environment

• Minimise construction pollution through good

practice

• Monitor air quality on the estate regularly

• Improve air quality through extensive green

infrastructure

Water

Water Consumption

• Achieved up to 55% reduction in water

consumption in our outstanding buildings.

• Reduced water demand through use of

low flow rate fixtures

• Specified drought resistant planting in all

our parks and gardens.

• Facilitated good quality drinking water to

all visitors and users.

Drainage

• Implemented very efficient Sustainable

Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) on the

estate

• Provided flood storage attenuation system

with sunken garden at dock level in our

cross rail station

CWG estate design aims to reduce water demand and manages surface water in a sustainable way

Energy and

Carbon

• Passive design analysis for all commercial

buildings to reduce energy demand

• Facade design to reduce demand and provide

optimum daylight and views

• Renewable energy technology in buildings.

• Innovative use of Renewable energy by use of

solar powered benches and UK’s first transparent

solar panelled bus stop

• Use of low embodied carbon materials

• Efficient mechanical and electrical systems to

reduce operational energy

• Green transport systems like cycling, electric

vehicles and public transport nodes.

We investigate passive design measures and implement energy hierarchy in designs

Biodiversity

One of the first developers to produce a

biodiversity action plan in the UK and converted a

brownfield site into thriving estate maximising

green infrastructure

• 30 years ago Canary Wharf was inherently a

brownfield site with no natural ecosystem. Today

the estate has:

• 4 urban parks

• 24,000 sqm of park/amenity space

• 348,000 sqm of open water habitat

• 2000 sqm of tree cover with a mix of over 30

species

• 13 buildings with living roofs covering 8000 sqm

• The estate is home to over 30 species of trees,

protected plant species, bird and bat boxes,

insect hotels and beehives.

Health and

WellbeingWe create thriving spaces that promote good human health, wellbeing and productivity to all users

and visitors.

• Public realm design to encourage a sense of

community

• Active transport systems including walking and

cycling encouraged with river walks, cycle parking,

parks with walkways

• Outdoor activities like yoga in cross rail, marathon

and various activities to encourage active lifestyle

• Selection of materials to help with indoor air quality

• Access to nature and river views for mental health

promotion

• Healthy eating options on the estate
