Energy Efficiency - Projects

• Several Major collaborative projects; • cRRescendo (funded by the EU Concerto initiative)• Mains Gas Injection from biogas (UK Growth Area

Funding)• Electric Vehicle initiative – (UK ETI funding)• CYBER/DISPLAY (EU Intelligent Energy programme)

• AND my day job – managing the day to day energy use of the council

Changing emphasis within the council

• In the beginning you paid your utility bills• Then there was the Energy Manager• Then the Sustainability/LA 21 Officer• Then the Carbon Manager

• Now the Climate Change Team!

Initiative Overload

• More and more climate change related legislation

• Seek common purposes and methodology to reduce the administrative burden

• CYBER has common ground with UK EPB legislation, CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, NI185 & 186 and CSR leadership.
