Energy efficiency is the low-hanging fruit
1/3 of building energy can be saved with no or low cost action
How do you begin picking the fruit?
SMEasure 60% of building energy use is space heating and hot water
On average you could save 40% or more
Recent dramatic increase in energy prices
Green credentials
Government regulation (DECs)
International accreditation (ISO50001)
Importance of building energy management
Data collection

Optimise Your Business Growth Through Green ICT
( ICT - Information and Communications Technology )
• ICT is transitioning from Cost Centre
to Business Enabler
Businesses spending less time on
systems and infrastructure
maintenance
Capitalising on Cloud Computing
Costs of Inefficient ICT?
Servers wasting £15 billion per year
worldwide (IDC 2009)
£300 million in energy costs wasted in the
UK by businesses leaving PCs on
(PC Energy Report)
48% of money spent on servers is on
power and cooling (IDC)
85-90% under-utilisation of servers
ICT responsible for 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent to aviation (Gartner)

“Paperless” Office Less Paper
Deduplication is the process of removing duplicate data. It is a form of compression that eliminates any redundant data.
This means that less storage is taken up and less electricity is consumed.
This not only saves in CO2 emissions but also operational cost and server performance.
Deduplication - Housekeeping

Cloud Computing - Benefits
• Widens your workforce resource pool
• Almost global customer reach
• Collect data directly from customers with online forms
• Work collaboratively within your business on
documents, for projects with Intranets and Extranets
• ICT systems that work intuitively allowing you to
focus growing your business

targets, all based on 2008/9 baseline
What issues do we face?
• Renewable energy obligations &
building regulations
• Carbon Reduction Commitment
- £2.5 million and rising
• £50 million utility bill; increasing energy
prices and water rates
• Tax landscape: property and land taxes,
EPC’s / DEC’s
• Government targets – tough and hardening

Green Construction - Summer
Ventilation system draws in fresh air which is cooled in the
heat exchanger and provides fresh cool air to the rooms.
Air is extracted continuously from the bathrooms.
The heat pump heats the hot
water buffer and at the same
time cools the cold buffer. The
fan coils use the cold buffer to
further cool the rooms.
Excess heat is passed back
through the ground loop to re-
charge the ground energy.

reduce heat gain in
summer months.
Green Construction - Winter

Ventilation system draws in fresh air which is warmed in the heat exchanger
and provides fresh warm air to the rooms. Air is extracted continuously from
the bathrooms and the heat recovered.
The heat pump collects the heat
from the ground loops and heats
the hot buffers in the roof
providing hot water for baths and
showers and room heating via the
fan coils.
Heating & chilled buffer vessels
externally weather compensated
for maximum efficiency.

as part of refurb programme.
Existing Estate Projects
Examples of our aggressive retrofit roll out of proven
technologies into our existing estate along with
estimated annual savings
• LED replacement. 30W to 3W & 7W = £1.5m saving
• Voltage Optimisation installed at 80 sites (with
another 38 planned this year) – average savings
year to date = £6,200 per site
• Air-con “Melcotel” controllers install programme
at 75 A/C sites = estimate 20% saving on kit
Existing Estate Projects (cont.)
• External light programme – time clocks & photo
sensors install at 300 sites = £50k saving
• Thermal insulation roll-out – lofts, plant rooms,
valves = estimate 20% saving on site gas usage
• P.I.R .light motion detectors in key areas (linen,
staff, FOH toilets etc) = £50k saving
• Thermostatic radiator valves, Nordic reflectors,
remove towel rails = £150k savings
