Launched by independent charity the Institute for the Sustainability, the guides are initially aimed at SME tradespeople and professionals working in London’s built environment sector and offer step-by-step guidance and best practice advice on a wide range of low carbon retrofit topics. According to the Institute, the guides draw on leading academic and industry expertise. Their primary purpose is to help SMEs exploit the UK domestic retrofit market – a sector expected to mushroom into a £200 to £500 billion industry over the next 40 years as the UK Government embarks on a massive programme to insulate the country’s existing housing stock.
AEA, the leading energy and environmental consultancy has appointed Chris Dodwell as Knowledge Leader in International Energy and Climate Change.
Chris joins AEA fromthe UK Department of Energy and Climate Change where he was Head of International Climate Policy. Previously, Chris was Head of International Climate Negotiations leading the UK delegation to the UNFCCC talks in Nairobi and Bali. Chris also has extensive experience of carbon market policy having led the UK’s implementation of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme.
Chris will bring a wealth of expertise and experience to further develop AEA’s expanding international climate change business and to raise its profile in key markets. Chris will be building on AEA’s recent success on projects including: studies for the European Commission on monitoring, reporting and verification of international climate finance, potential reform of the Clean Development Mechanism and options for Member States to achieve their climate change targets.
UK businesses that voluntarily report greenhouse gas emissions experience benefits in cost savings, improved green reputation and investor relations, according to new research.
The report published today by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) found that companies use emissions data to set reduction targets and influence wider business plans.
According to Parker Hannifin, a change to the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) scheme included in the government’s Spending Review has made it more important for companies to cut their energy bills. Now, monies raised through a levy on major energy users that were to be redistributed to companies who had done well in reducing their energy consumption, will go instead to the Treasury, alongside general taxation.
Chancellor George Osbourne said that this move was to reduce bureaucracy, but omitted to say how it would affect the private sector companies he says he wants to help. Calculations suggest that a moderately large company could be £100,000 out of pocket.
“Companies that thought they had a guaranteed chunk of money coming in through the CRC will now have to find a replacement,” said Andy Parker-Bates of Parker SSD Drives. “Few markets are so robust that turning up the sales wick will produce prompt results, so the best option is to crank up the energy reduction measures already in hand.”
He added: “It’s tempting to say that Mr Osbourne has made everyone a loser, but there is a definite positive to this. The most sensible thing to do is maintain or even increase the proposed investment into energy saving technology and reap rewards that way.”
An energy audit will identify areas where energy usage can be cut and how to do it. If there is an investment, payback calculations will help to identify a schedule of projects.

The property industry will be able to give its views to the government on changes to the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme over the next month.
Today, the Department for Energy and Climate Change has today launched a consultation on proposed changes to the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme. It announced changes to the scheme in last month’s Comprehensive Spending Review, which will simplify the scheme by removing potential bonuses for companies that cut energy use.
Critics say the changes to the scheme have turned it into a “green tax” rather than an incentive scheme. The CRC was introduced in April. CRC participants would, under the proposals, only have to buy the first allowances in the scheme in April 2012, one year after the date proposed initially. The government is also proposing to postpone the second phase of the scheme.
Other amendments include information disclosures, the treatment of Northern Ireland departments and the updating of a number of references in the original CRC Order.
The carbon tax is designed to incentivise large public and private sector organisation to take up cost effective energy efficiency opportunities through the application of reputational and financial drivers. The consultation period is due to close on 17 December.

Planned changes to a Government scheme aimed at reducing carbon emissions will impact heavily on businesses, a Bradford-based energy boss has warned.
Gareth Henderson, managing director of Orchard Energy, which has offices in Bradford and Brighouse, said he would monitor changes to the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme following Chancellor George Osborne’s decision to divert revenue raised from businesses into the public purse from 2012 .
The scheme was introduced by the previous government in April and requires participants to buy allowances to emit CO2.
