CO2 emissions from London, 2006(excluding aviation)

100% = 44.3 million tonnes CO2

Domestic 38%

Ground Based Transport 22%

Industrial 7%

Commercial & Public

Sector 33%

Domestic CO2 emissions from London, 2006

100% = 16.7 million tonnes CO2

38% of London’s total CO2 emissions are from housing. Almost three quarters of this is from space and water heating.

Current activity

• Confusing for the customer– Different suppliers, delivery bodies and funding

streams etc.

• Disruptive for the customer– Require multiple visits to treat the whole house

• Often focus is restricted to insulation which is of limited applicability in London– Only 30% of homes in London have a loft

• Not cost-effective

• Scale is not big enough to reach the targets– Current schemes would take over 200 years to meet

targets

• London Warm Zones– Central heating, insulation and benefits advice

– 18 local authorities

• Low Carbon Zones– All buildings (domestic and non-domestic), various

measures

– 10 areas in London

• CESP– Hard to treat measures in low socio-economic areas

• Cold busters– Heating and insulation

• Mayor’s insulation programme– DIY insulation

• CERT– Central heating, insulation and other energy

efficiency measures

• Warm Front– Central heating and insulation

What is HEEP?

• To develop a delivery model to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in London’s domestic sector through retrofitting energy efficiency measures that:– Is cost effective;

– Can draw upon existing funding streams; and

– That can be scaled up to reach the 60% target and can be rolled out across London.

Objective

• The model will:– Be an area based and whole house approach to

ensure cost effective delivery;

– Provide a range of cost effective easy measures and energy saving advice in order to offer something to every home; and

– Link in with existing insulations schemes such as CERT to draw these funding sources together into a coherent package.

The model

• The programme is a collaborative partnership between– The London Development Agency (LDA)

– The Greater London Authority (GLA)

– London Councils

– The Energy Saving Trust

• It will be delivered on the ground by all 33 London Boroughs

Delivery

• The LDA has provided seed funding of £9.5m to develop the delivery model and begin roll-out of the programme.

• Additional funding will be levered in through the delivery of the scheme by linking with existing schemes.

The customer journey

• Easy measures:– Energy advice

– Low Energy light-bulbs

– Tap aerators

– Radiator panels

– Stand-by switches

– Visual display unit

– Showerheads

– Hot Water Tank Insulation

– Draught proofing

– Save a flush

– Shower timer

– Block Gaps (Floors & Skirting)

1. Marketing => customer contacts HEEP and books an appointment

3. In the home:

– Conducts a survey

– Provides energy advice

– Delivers cost effective easy measures

– Books appointment for insulation measures

– Provides benefits advice / refers to DWP

– Links to other council services e.g. fire safety

2. Door knocking => HEEP assessor visits the property

4. Data fed back to:

– Local authority

– Central HEEP team

– Energy Saving Trust

5. Energy Saving Trust advice centre provides follow up advice

Phase 1 – scope & mobilise(April 2009 – July 2010)

• Technical trials

• Demonstration projects

Phase 2 – London-wide roll-out(July 2010 to March 2012)

Phase 3 – London-wide roll-out(April 2012 to March 2015)

Delivery

• Summer 2009

• 3 trials in areas in: Croydon, Hillingdon and Southwark

• 817 homes treated

• Approx. 500 tonnes CO2 saved through easy measures

• Approx. 290 tonnes CO2 saved through referrals:– 118 cavity wall

insulation referrals– 154 loft insulation

referrals– 30 heating upgrade

referrals

• November 2009 to July 2010

• 9 boroughs

• Anticipate approx. 10,000 homes treated

• Final delivery model and specification to be produced by March 2010

• July 2010

• All boroughs

• Anticipate approx. 200,000 homes treated

Annual Lifetime Carbon Dioxide Savings

Total savings possible

optimistic scenario

• LDA seed funding

Activities to achieve these targets:

• Lobby at a high level to shape and obtain future funding from programmes such as CERT post 2012

• Encourage boroughs to set up financing models to sustain and develop the area based approach

• Explore PAYS opportunities with private sector partners for high scale retrofit

• Influence any post decent homes programmes

• Link the programme with the wider agendas on skills and Green economy

• Total savings possible if all barriers are overcome i.e. all possible measures are installed in all homes
