Opportunities Assessment

Objectives

An initial opportunities assessment survey was carried out for Channel 5 Broadcasting. The agreed objectives of the assessment were to identify and prioritise up to 10 actions that could be taken up by the site to save energy, carbon and money. Channel 5 requested that the proposed actions included staff awareness issues  and policy recommendations.

Delivery

The opportunities assessment included: a site survey, energy consumption analysis, energy and carbon benchmarking, review of energy management practices, development of an action plan and a presentation of results. The consultation identified that there were opportunities to reduce energy consumption at the site and a 9 point action plan was developed. In subsequent consultation, b:ssec provided support for the implementation of the recommendations, in particular, monitoring and targeting and staff training/ campaigns.

Results

The aggregated savings from the implementation of the proposed opportunities equated to 200 tonnes of CO2 per annum, representing just under a 30% reduction  in energy consumption and the same for cost. The payback was estimated to be under a year.
