1 Developing Scotland s Efficiency Programme Kathleen Robertson Scottish Government

2 A Plan for Scotland Programme for Government Climate Change will be a prominent feature of this parliament. The Scottish Government will: publish a Climate Change Plan - setting out infrastructure priorities for the coming decades a new Strategy, a visionary statement of plans for low carbon energy production and use over that period. Steering decisions on: How we heat and power our homes and businesses, How people and goods move around the country, how land is used and how the standard of the buildings where we live and work can be improved to reduce the cost of energy.

3 Scottish energy consumption Domestic energy consumption

4 GB energy consumption - per day Heat Transport fuels Electricity consumption Source: University of Sheffield

5 Current Landscape Non-Domestic Efficiency and District Heating Domestic Efficiency Resource Efficient Scotland LCITP CARES and LECF HEEPS: Area Based Schemes Warmer Homes Scotland Home Scotland Section 63 District Heating Loan Fund and Salix Loans Heat Network Partnership HEEPS: Loans ECO EESSH

6 Progress to date EPC Rating Insulation Measures (dwellings) Fuel Poverty Non-domestic Public Sector Efficiency Framework Greenhouse Gas Emissions District Heating Over two-fifths of Scottish dwellings now EPC rating C or higher (SAP 2009) Majority of lofts insulated 71% of cavity walls insulated 14% of solid walls insulated 35% of households in fuel poverty in 2014 ~ 60% of households in EPC E, F, G are fuel poor Older, off-gas dwellings more likely to be fuel poor. Potential to support up to 300 million of energy efficiency retrofit activity across the Scottish public sector estate. In 2014 Scotland-wide emissions down 45.8% (with allowance for EU ETS) on Residential emissions in 2014 down 26% on 1990; public sector emissions down 36.2%; and business and industry emissions down 39.6%. 112 operation al schemes supplying around 10,000 homes and a range of public, commercial and industrial buildings.

7 Scotland s Efficiency Programme (SEEP) Sticks Other Fiscal Incentives? Carrots EESSH Social housing Regulation Advice and information Requirement for assessment at point of sale or rental? grants Area based & national retrofit schemes REEPS s64 private housing S63 non domestic District heating regs Benefits jobs, health / social justice, energy bills, emissions reduction Voluntary assessment Marketing and communication Changed behaviours & perceptions Transition to low carbon economy loans Requirements: - - industry Skills and capacity across all of Scotland. - create stable long term market for investment and private finance

8 What that means for the average building Low energy lighting Insulating walls and loft Draught proofing Insulating floors Low carbon heat/cooling sources

9 Next steps SEEP Pilots Phase 1 announced 30 September Consultation and engagement Scenario discussions (November 2016) Draft energy strategy and draft Climate Change Plan consultation early 2017 Consultation on regulation of PRS early 17 Consultation on District Heating regulation early 2017 Consultation on ECO Consultation on phased regulation of other existing buildings, as well as look at financial incentives Warm Homes Bill

10 Thank you

11 SSN Exercise Working in groups consider: 1. What would make you or your organisation improve your building s energy efficiency? 2. What support would you need? 3. What prevents you from taking action? 4. What level of improvement would you aim for?
