3. London’s homes: driving our energy future The Mayor’s main programmes: RE:NEW - Retrofit 1.2 million homes with energy efficiency measures by 2015 - All cavity walls and lofts insulated where practical by 2015 - A whole-house approach – free upfront RE:CONNECT Ten Low Carbon Zones Reducing CO 2 emissions by 20.12% by 2012 The Mayor’s London Housing Strategy and Beyond Decent Homes

6. RE:FIT – London’s public sector building energy efficiency programme An Energy service companies (ESCOs) carry out the works and guarantee the resulting energy savings This guarantees the payback of the initial investment with the delivery risk transferred to the ESCO. Hence this is a cost neutral means to reduce energy bills and carbon footprint of buildings Insulation Building management technologies Cooling equipment Low carbon heating Energy Performance Contracting approach: The public sector building owner identifies a portfolio of buildings they would like to retrofit, sets a target percentage energy savings and a payback period

7. RE:CONNECT – 10 Low Carbon Zones 1.Muswell Hill 2.Archway 3.Queens Park 4.Barking Town Centre 5.Ham and Petersham LCZ programme objectives: 20.12% Carbon reduction by 2012 Focus carbon saving efforts in geographical areas Enthuse communities to reduce their carbon output Demonstrate behaviour change with physical measures that can deliver significant savings at the neighbourhood scale Leverage of significant additional funding 6.Wandle Valley 7.Hackbridge 8.Brixton 9.Peckham 10.Lewisham Town Centre

8. Example Zone: Muswell Hill, Haringey Retrofit projects co-managed with local community group 15 volunteers trained to advise and market energy saving services to neighbours Local social enterprise uses Feed-in Tariff revenues to re-invest in energy saving measures + bulk-buying co-op £350k investment from government to match LCZ funding for schools and community buildings retrofit/solar + educational projects Council is putting forward £300k loan fund (proto- Green Deal) 657tCO 2 saved (9% saving across Zone); 32% (high) uptake of homes retrofit http://www.haringey.gov.uk/lcz http://www.en10ergy.co.uk/ http://mhsgroup.org/ http://twitter.com/#!/haringeygogreen

9. Localism Delivered by local authorities and delivery agents Recommendations to increase uptake: Local authority brand more trusted Local community group involvement is crucial Need to generate a community presence Enable neighbourhood referrals Use local volunteers

10. The future Local delivery at a community level will continue to be crucial Other ways of funding and financing will be needed e.g.: Green Deal Energy Services Contracting
