RE:FIT – London’s public sector building energy efficiency programme
• An Energy service companies (ESCOs) carry out the works and guarantee the resulting energy savings
• This guarantees the payback of the initial investment with the delivery risk transferred to the ESCO.
• Hence this is a cost neutral means to reduce energy bills and carbon footprint of buildings
Insulation Building management technologies
Cooling equipmentLow carbon heating
• Energy Performance Contracting approach: The public sector building owner identifies a portfolio of buildings they would like to retrofit, sets a target percentage energy savings and a payback period
RE:CONNECT – 10 Low Carbon Zones
1. Muswell Hill2. Archway3. Queens Park 4. Barking Town Centre5. Ham and Petersham
LCZ programme objectives:
• 20.12% Carbon reduction by 2012
• Focus carbon saving efforts in geographical areas
• Enthuse communities to reduce their carbon output
• Demonstrate behaviour change with physical measures that can deliver significant savings at the neighbourhood scale
• Leverage of significant additional funding
6. Wandle Valley7. Hackbridge 8. Brixton9. Peckham10. Lewisham Town Centre
Example Zone: Muswell Hill, Haringey•Retrofit projects co-managed with local community group
•15 volunteers trained to advise and market energy saving services to neighbours
•Local social enterprise uses Feed-in Tariff revenues to re-invest in energy saving measures + bulk-buying co-op
•£350k investment from government to match LCZ funding for schools and community buildings retrofit/solar + educational projects
•Council is putting forward £300k loan fund (proto- Green Deal)
•657tCO2 saved (9% saving across Zone); 32% (high) uptake of homes retrofit

Localism
•Delivered by local authorities and delivery agents
•Recommendations to increase uptake:• Local authority brand more trusted• Local community group involvement is
crucial• Need to generate a community presence• Enable neighbourhood referrals• Use local volunteers
The future
• Local delivery at a community level will continue to be crucial
• Other ways of funding and financing will be needed e.g.:
•Green Deal
•Energy Services Contracting
