RE:FIT – London’s public sector building
energy efficiency programme
• 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
Insulation
Building management
technologies
• 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
Cooling equipment
Low carbon heating
RE:CONNECT – 10 Low
Carbon Zones
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

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)

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
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
