Better life Better climate How do we save energy, CO2 & money in our buildings? …and why the fight against climate change starts at home 1 1 Thomas Nordli, Group Communications, Rockwool International A/S Today’s programme 12.00 Lunch & introduction by Thomas Nordli, Group Communications, Rockwool International 13.00 Bus transport and introduction to Stenløse Low-energy village 13.45 Stenløse Low-energy village by Jan Poulsen, Egedal Municipality visit at Mr. Bo Andersen, Mosekæret 7, Stenløse Bus leaves for Copenhagen. Transport to hotels. 15.15 16 - 17.00 Drop off at Falconer, Royal & Skt. Petri Hotels and finally at the Opera 18.00 2 Dinner at the Opera (official programme) 2 Why save energy? Security of energy supply Reduce global warming Green jobs Cleaner air, better health Cut energy costs 3 3 The last oil 4 countries control most of the world’s oil reserves 3 countries control most of the world’s gas reserves 80% of the oil producing nations are facing, or already struggling with, declining production Energy demand is growing, reserves are declining 4 Sources: ASPO, BP, DOE 4 How long will our resources last? Most of our energy consumption is based upon nonrenewable sources Comparison between oil discovery and consumption Discovery. gbpy 45 40 35 30 50 Discovery Extrapolation Consumption IEA forecast 45 40 35 30 25 25 20 20 15 15 10 10 5 5 0 0 Consumption. gbpy 50 1900 1910 1920 1930 1940 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030 5 Source Aspo newsletter no 35 5 Climate change – where should we start? 6 6 Buildings are the biggest energy consumer and CO2 polluter 33% 26% 41% of all energy in EU is of all energy in EU is of all energy in EU is used for transport used by industry used by buildings 2/3 of energy consumption in buildings is used for heating, cooling and ventilation. 7 7 Where do you use most energy? 8 8 Higher emissions & losses to come 50% of world population live in urban areas. This will grow to 70% by 2030. Aircon will triple before 2030 (McKinsey/Vattenfall) CO2 emissions from buildings will grow by 50+% by 2030. Mainly in North America and East Asia (IPCC). Affordable and Sustainable housing should be a main priority 9 9 Buildings for the future? A building can last 100 years or more. Short-sighted energy inefficiency is costly. 10 10 More power plants or less energy waste? It’s more costly to build new power plants than to save energy The cost of saving a unit of electricity is 2.6 euro cents compared to a price of delivered electricity of 3.9 euro cents 11 Source: EU 11 Energy efficiency is the largest ‘energy resource’ – and it is far from exploited! The role of different resources in the world energy balance (1999) 12 12 Jobs – can we afford to save on CO2? 13 13 14 14 Insulation a highly profitable CO2 saving Insulation 15 Source: McKinsey 2009, version 2, Pathway to a low carbon economy 15 How low can we go? It is possible with existing and proven technology to have buildings with a fraction of the present average consumption! kWh/m2/year for heating 150 100 50 0 Average consumption in buildings Best present building code Passive Houses Sources: EU Commission, DK building regulations 16 and www.passivhaus.de 16 Jobs – Climate – Money Modernise energy efficiently! Every year energy waste worth € 270 billion and some 460 million tonnes of CO2 pollution could be saved cost effectively. More than 500 000 jobs could be created in Europe alone. 17 Sources: Ecofys & EURIMA 17 Job Growth from Energy Efficiency Aggressive increases in US building energy codes could result in Increase of nearly 1.1 million US jobs Increase in income of $28.5 billion US Decrease in energy use by 20.8 Quads 18 Source: the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy 18 Better quality of life (thermal comfort) 19 19 Energy refurbishment – the untapped potential Single-family house from 1927 Renovated 2004 Energy use for heating before: 5300 litre oil yearly Energy saving: 57% CO2-reduction: 8 tonnes/year Net profit $ 2,500 /year 20 20 Key recommendations Strengthen energy requirements considerably Make the Passive House our standard choice (mandatory in new UK buildings from 2013) Always make building renovations energy efficient Make public buildings energy efficient role models Provide one-stop energy efficiency packages for home-owners Provide up-front financing 21 21 The fight against climate change starts at home Buildings account for some 40% of energy consumption And a major share of manmade CO2 emissions Mostly for heating, cooling and ventilation Most of this expensive energy is wasted 22 22 A few facts about The Rockwool/Roxul Group 23 The world leader in stone wool Global no. 2 in insulation Turnover USD 2.8 billion 8000 employees 21 factories in 14 countries 23 Rockwool factories 24 24 Energy saving = Environmental profit In its lifetime (more than 50 years) Rockwool insulation can save more than 100 times the energy used for its production. Positive environmental balance after a few weeks. 25 25 Positive environmental balance (1:128) Rockwool Eco-balance: Energy Used in life-cycle Saved in life-cycle Rockwool/Roxul insulation is one of the major energy savers. A typical 250 mm Rockwool loft insulation product – manufactured and installed in Denmark and used over 50 years - will save 128 times more primary energy than was used for its production, transport and disposal. The energy balance becomes positive only 5 months after installation. 26 Source: FORCE TECHNOLOGY/dk-TEKNIK 26 CO2 emissions This year’s sale alone of Rockwool insulation will, over 50 years, save more than 200 million tonnes of CO2 (this is more than today’s annual emissions from the Netherlands) 27 27 Further information GROUP/INTERNATIONAL: Mr. Thomas Nordli, Rockwool International A/S, Group Communications, Denmark Email: [email protected] Direct phone: +45 46 55 80 33 Mobile phone: +45 24 28 92 24 www.rockwool.com 28 www.roxul.com 28 Tomorrow Sat. 8.30 – 9.20 Breakfast seminar How much energy, CO2 & money can we save in buildings? …and what does it take to get things moving? 29 Jens Laustsen, International Energy Agency (IEA) Eelco van Heel, CEO, Rockwool International A/S 29 Questions about how to build a better future? 30 Visit us at the COP15 ! 30 Today’s programme 12.00 Lunch & introduction by Thomas Nordli, Group Communications, Rockwool International 13.00 Bus transport and introduction to Stenløse Low-energy village 13.45 Stenløse Low-energy village by Jan Poulsen, Egedal Municipality visit at Mr. Bo Andersen, Mosekæret 7, Stenløse 15.15 Bus leaves for Copenhagen.
