CARBON
• 34% cut by 2020; 80% by 2050• 5 year budgets; independent
Committee; annual report to Parliament
• Extensive enabling powers

2008 Budget
Already have all new homes to be zero carbon by 2016
All new schools to be zero carbon by 2016
Ambition for all new public sector buildings to be zero carbon by 2018
Ambition for all new non-domestic buildings to be zero carbon by 2019

“Sustainable Procurement is a process whereby organisations meet their needs for goods, services, works and utilities in a way that achieves value for money on a whole life basis in terms of generating benefits to society and the economy, whilst minimising damage to the environment”.

The Carbon Hierarchy

Carbon Hierarchy
Halve the demand, double the efficiency and halve the carbon in the supplies and you are down to one-eighth of the emissions

Value Engineering or do you mean Cost Cutting?
In particular be wary of cost cutting on:
• Fenestration and rooflights: Especially where rooflights are central to the daylighting and/or ventilation strategy.

The Journey – Leadership from Government
The Journey – Leadership from industry
Never Waste a Good Crisis
Develop a New Generation of LeadersWe must develop a new generation of leaders who can communicate their vision and drive change in culture and behaviour
Adopt New Business Models that Promote ChangeBusiness models are fundamental to changing behaviour. We must move away from models that encourage short term thinking and find ways to incentivise long term value creation
Procure for ValueAll customers in the chain need to professionalise their procurement to achieve best value, rather than focusing on lowest price.
