Guidance on the new HEAT Energy Performance Target

Initial 2009-10 Target

As part of the growing focus on Climate Change and other sustainability issues within Scottish Government Health Directorates (SGHD), a new Health Efficiency Access and Treatment (HEAT) target on Carbon emissions has been introduced. The initial baseline and ongoing measurement for this performance (E8.KPM1) will be based on energy consumption through the existing Environment Monitoring and Reporting Tool, (eMART), which currently collects and reports on all the NHS hospitals in Scotland. This also provides the data for the Annual National Environment Report.

However, as well as improving the energy efficiency of the estate, there is also the need to reduce NHS Scotland’s dependence on fossil fuels and hence reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore the carbon dioxide equivalent of the energy consumed by each hospital will be a HEAT supplementary measure.This will provide important context when considering performance on the energy consumption measure (see Table 1).

The initial baseline (see Table 1) will be the energy used by all the hospitals in each Board during 2007-08 as recorded by eMART and will be measured in gigajoules (GJ) (Note 1). The date for reporting against the HEAT target is May 2010, and the report will be the energy usage (and equivalent CO2 emissions) for the year 2009-10. However, each Board is required to report their performance on a quarterly basis.

The initial HEAT target is set to correspond with the current target of 2% pa. This is the target originally set in MEL (2000)19 and later incorporated in HDL (2006)21. This is already built into the eMART system and for comparison with the target; energy consumption is climatically adjusted to the base year. For the first reporting year 2009-10, the target will therefore be a 4% reduction, covering the two years, on the 2007-08 baseline as indicated for each Board in Table 1. However, this will be climatically adjusted; the target will therefore be either slightly higher or lower depending on the weather conditions during the year.

HEAT E8.KPM1 template (Annex 3) is attached.

Table 2 details the hospital sites that are included in the 2007-08 baseline.

To minimise the additional resources required by Boards, the target is based on the existing infrastructure in relation to environmental reporting through the Environment Monitoring and Reporting Tool, (eMART).

Note 1: One gigajoule is equivalent to approximately 278 kWhs.

For 2009-10 the performance measure will not apply to NHS24, NHS Education, NHS Health Scotland, NHS National Services, NHS QIS, and Scottish Ambulance Service. However, this will still leave the following input required by each NHS Board to meet the 2009-10 target:

  • The environment return, which is normally required annually, by the end of June in each year, requires to be brought forward to the first week in May 2009 for the 2008-09 return. Validation by HFS will be completed by the end of May 2009;
  • From April 2009 onwards Board’s are required to report on their energy consumption and corresponding CO2 emissions on a quarterly basis with the first quarter return for the period April to June 2009 reported in July 2009;

-To help ensure that this is achieved HFS would advise that, if not already being done, the data should be entered into eMARTs on a monthly basis;

-HFS will provide direct assistance, by phone or by email. Training courses will also be available in February/March 2009.

HFS will monitor the eMART system and be in communication with each Board to ensure assistance and guidance is provided where it is needed.

Future Target

The initial 2009-10 target will only measure Board’s performance against their respective hospitals as listed in Table 2; however work is in progress to address this and to extend eMART to cover the whole estate, (see Note 2) and include water and waste. This work currently includes;

  • expanding the baseline dataset covered by eMART to include the whole estate. All the health centres, clinics, offices, resource centres etc.; are being added to the eMART system;
  • working with Business Stream and Scottish Power to obtain, in electronic format, all the water and electricity usage for the community premises.These will then be automatically loaded into eMART then checked by each Board for accuracy. This will also be extended to the gas used in the community premises;
  • modifications to eMARTs to convert the water, clinical and non-clinical waste into the equivalent carbon dioxide emissions.

Note 2: The ‘Whole NHS Estate’ includes all occupied owned and leased buildings used in the provision of Healthcare Services including hospitals, health centres, clinics, resource centres, and offices, laundries, stores and Laboratories.

To help in these preparations Boards are requested to assist by:

  • providing a list of all premises owned, leased or contracted through PFI or PPP. The current list of sites presently in eMARTs other than hospitals for each Board is attached.
  • setting up community premises on the eMART system. This is a normal process currently carried out by the staff responsible for managing the input of data for the annual return;
  • completing data input for all community premises that use oil, as it is unlikely that that this can be done electronically, as the stock remaining at the end of each month is also required to calculate the actual usage;
  • completing the data for clinical and non-clinical waste for each community premises or provide the total waste for each stream, i.e.; type of waste, for the whole Board.

Hospitals Baseline 2007-08 and target for 2009-10

Table 1 details the actual energy usage for the baseline year 2007-08 presented in GJs and CO2 emissions in tonnes.

The 2009-10 target is the 2007-08 actual less 4% of the initial total.
