Greening Your Church and School:Energy and Climate Change
What you can do in your Parish, School, and also in your home
to provide a secure, sustainable, low carbon future for our children to inherit?
But what of our future in 10 years?

• For the average family where are the largest uses of energy?
• Which activities in our lives cause the greatest emission of carbon dioxide?
• What should we do first?• Will we save money?

How many people know what 9 tonnes of CO2 looks like?
5 hot air balloons per person per year.
On average each person in UK causes the emission of 9 tonnes of CO2 each year.
"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he thought he could do only a little."
Edmund Burke (1727 – 1797)
• 10 gms of carbon dioxide has an equivalent volume of 1 party balloon.
2 family cars• small petrol ~ 10000 miles • medium diesel ~ 12000 miles
Medium size Detached House Gas central heating
•Cavity Insulation•Double Glazing•100mm Loft Insulation•Ordinary (non-condensing) boiler

Social Attitudes towards energy consumption have a profound effect on actual consumption
Data collected from 114 houses in Norwich
For a given size of household electricity consumption for appliances [NOT HEATING or HOT WATER] can vary by as much as 9 times.
When income levels are accounted for, variation is still 6 times
7
Electricity Statistics: Each house in Norwich consumes, 3727 kWh per year.
Broadland 5057 kWh Breckland 5612 kWh
North Norfolk 5668 kWh South Norfolk 5797 kWh
Kings Lynn and 5908 kWh Great 5144 kWh West Norfolk Yarmouth
A wind farm the size of Scroby Sands can supply twice domestic demand of Norwich or 66% on average.
(or 22% of total demand)
Saves ~ 70 000 to 75 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year or 40 000 hot air balloons each year.
The alternatives:
Persuade 30 000 motorists never to drive the car againOr 300 000 motorists to drive 1000 miles less each year.
Norwich 3727 kWh per year N K Tovey - 2007 – 2008 3000 kWh 2008 – 2009 2150 kWh
Energy use in your Church/ School/Home and our moral responsibilities
• Monitoring your use of energy.• Do you know where the meter(s) is (are)?• Do you know how to read them?• Do you check that your energy company is charging
you for the correct amount of energy?• Can you identify areas where you can cut carbon
emissions and save money at the same time.
The Hard Choices affecting us• Not only Climate Change• But also Energy Security• We need to be acting now

Social Awareness of Occupational Impact on Climate Change

Meters such as this have a label ft3 and they actually measure in hundreds of cubic feet.
The reading here is
6172.42 hundreds of cubic feet
If previous reading was
6160.31A total of 12.11 hundreds of cubic feet have been consumed.
To work out how must energy has been used in kWh multiply figure by 31.86 = 385.8 kWh
Measuring your gas consumption. Note: some gas meters read in hundreds of cubic feet, others in cubic meters.
If the meter reads in cubic metres (m3) then multiply by 11.25 instead 11
How much Energy does your church use?
St Paul’s Church, Tuckswood began taking weekly energy readings in mid July 2009
Gas is used for heating only Meter readings showed that consistently gas was being consumed (~180 kWh per week) costing over £9 each week even though the heating was off.

How much Energy does your church use?
St Paul’s Church, TuckswoodWhat about turning off Pilot Lights in mid May and back on in mid September? Saving would be
~£160 per year, 3100 kWh of gas 600 kg CO2
3 heaters like this are used to heat church
Saving is potentially greaterPilot lights were all kept off until 4th October.
Only one pilot light was turned back on that date
Other heaters will be kept off until needed
One heater now comes on at 08:00 on Sunday to warm up church 13

Weekly Energy Data from St Paul’s Church Tuckswood

Data from St PaulsSince Pilot has been back on
• 60% of gas consumption has been just for pilot light.
• 40% for actual heating of Church.
• Proportion likely to get better towards mid winter
But experiment.• Keep only one pilot on, but advance preheating on time switch.
• Church Wardens turn on other heaters only if needed when they arrive 30mins before service.
• Could save much more – may be as much as £250 a year

There is a looming capacity shortfall
Even with a deployment of
renewables.
A 10% reduction in demand per
house will see a rise of 7% in total demand
- Increased population decreased
household size
Our Choices: They are difficult: Energy Security
21
Do we want to exploit available renewables i.e onshore/offshore wind and biomass? Some People say NO!
Our Choices: They are difficult
Swaffham Scroby Sands
Thetford
Uk’s first Advanced Gasifier Combined Heat and Power Plant
UEA
To provide 5% of UK’s Electricity would need to cover whole of Norfolk and Suffolk with energy crops
22
Do we want to exploit available renewables i.e onshore/offshore wind and biomass?
• Hydro potential in UK is limited
• Photovoltaics, much more expensive than wind/ biomass AND has a much higher embedded carbon than wind, nuclear, etc.
Our Choices: They are difficult
Small scale hydro – Itteringham Mill
34 kW array - ZICER Building UEAProvides electricity for about 5 houses- Cost £500 000
23
Do we want to exploit available renewables i.e onshore/offshore wind and biomass?
• Wave power and tidal stream are technically limited and are not options for next 10 years except as small scale demonstration.
Our Choices: They are difficult
Pelamis Wave Power – Orkney half output of Swaffham
Experimental Tidal Stream DevicesLimpet Wave Power, Islay
24
Do we want to exploit available renewables i.e onshore/offshore wind and biomass?
• Tidal Barrages could provide ~10% of UK’s electricity needs, but there are many opponents and would not provide energy until at least 2020
Our Choices: They are difficult
Churchill Barriers, Orkney could provide equivalent of 40% of Sizewell B, but people are opposed to power lines through Scotland.
Beauly-Denny controversy
25
Do we want to exploit available renewables i.e onshore/offshore wind and biomass?.
Photovoltaics, tidal, wave are not options for next 20 years.
If our answer is NO
Do we want to see a renewal of nuclear power ?
Are we happy on this and the other attendant risks?
If our answer is NO
Do we want to return to using coal? •then carbon dioxide emissions will rise significantly
•unless we can develop carbon sequestration within 10 years UNLIKELY
If our answer to coal is NO
Do we want to leave things are they are and see continued exploitation of gas for both heating and electricity generation? >>>>>>
Our Choices: They are difficult
26
Our Choices: They are difficult
If our answer is YES
By 2020 • we will be dependent on GAS
for around 70% of our heating and electricity
imported from countries like Russia, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Algeria
Are we happy with this prospect? >>>>>>If not:
We need even more substantial cuts in energy use.
Or are we prepared to sacrifice our future to effects of Global Warming? - the North Norfolk Coal Field?
Aylsham Colliery, North Walsham Pit??
Do we wish to reconsider our stance on renewables?
Inaction or delays in decision making will lead us down the GAS option route and all the attendant Security issues that raises.
Through inaction and a coherent energy policy the UK Government is taking us down the Gas Route.
UEA is leading the Way

Are you up to the Challenge?: Will you make a pledge?

How much Energy is in a cubic meter of gas?
Daily variation in Calorific Value of Gas in early October 2009 MJ/cubic metre
The calorific value does vary on a daily basis
See http://www.nationalgrid.com/uk/ukgasdata/services/calval/calval.asp
Unfortunately volume of gas varies depending on temperature and a correction factor is applied which is typically around 1.02 – but see your bill for details
So total energy content of 1 cubic metre of gas at appliance = 40.505 MJ/m3
1.02264
