Buildings & Estates Managers' Network

South West Buildings & Estates Managers' Network


"Get Sorted on Sustainability"
An Energy & Carbon Management CPD Event

held in association with
The Environmental Association for Universities & Colleges (EAUC)


Friday 20 November 2009
from
9.30 am - 4.30 pm
at
Bishops Hull House, Taunton

Previous meetings of the South West Buildings & Estates Network have suggested that a meeting updating members on the latest developments regarding Sustainability would be very helpful.  Learning South West has therefore teamed up with the Environmental Association of Universities and Colleges (EAUC) to develop this bespoke event for South West colleagues.





Overview:

In March 2010 the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills will publish its Carbon Reduction Delivery Plan, which will include ambitions for the college sector in England.

In support of this forthcoming Delivery Plan, the aim of this  one-day training course is to provide participants with a sound understanding of the requirements of the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations which came into force in 2007.  Aspects of these regulations which relate directly to the college sector include the introduction of Display Energy Certificates, inspections of air-conditioning systems and disclosures of information.  Participants will gain a sound understanding of the requirements for legal compliance of these regulations as well as examples from the college sector and soundbites from Government regarding future direction of this legislation.

An essential part of reducing energy consumption and carbon in buildings is gaining baseline and ongoing monitoring data in order to ascertain areas of significant energy usage and wastage.  The second half of the day will therefore introduce participants to carbon footprinting and provide practical advice for carrying out a carbon footprint analysis.


Aims & Objectives of the Day

•   Introduce the EAUC’s renewed Sustainability Online Resource for Education tool (SORTED)

•   Provide an overview of the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the forthcoming EPDB II (2013)

•   Explore the key requirements relating to Display Energy Certificates (DEC)

•   Introduce the concept of carbon footprinting

•   Identify how carbon footprinting is relevant to the further education sector

•   Explore the challenges associated with carbon related data collection and collation, and

•   Provide a carbon footprint assessment methodology
