RE: FIT framework
These materials are from a Peer Learning event hosted by Nottingham City Council on 28th May 2013 that was held to introduce the RE: FIT framework to the East Midlands and to explain the support available to public sector organisations wishing to utilise RE: FIT. RE: FIT was developed by the Greater London Authority to retrofit public sector buildings with energy efficiency measures in order to reduce energy consumption, carbon emissions and energy bills. It is being rolled out more widely to enable any public sector bodies to take advantage of these benefits. The key benefit is that energy savings are guaranteed over an agreed timescale by an Energy Services Company through the mechanism of an Energy Performance Contract.
Support is available from Local Partnerships, a joint venture between HM Treasury and the Local Government Association, which provides commercial skills to the public sector, with funding provided by the Department of Energy and Climate Change that pays for secondments. Staff have been seconded from organisations that have used RE: FIT and include Nottingham City Council, Ealing Borough Council and Leeds City Council.
The resources below are the introductory slides, notes of a Q&A session with delegates at the event and a summary flyer that explains RE: FIT in one page.
See the GLA page on RE: FIT here for more background information on how it works in London.

Nottinghamshire Carbon Dioxide Emissions Visualisations
This visualisation below allows you to compare the overall carbon dioxide emissions per capita across each of the districts of Nottinghamshire. You can also see how the different components of this carbon footprint compare in more detail here - household, transport and industrial & commercial. All of the charts can be separately downloaded for presentations, etc. by clicking on the 'download' button at the bottom right. Please acknowledge Climate East Midlands as the source.
Further visualisations are available where you can see how the Nottinghamshire footprint compares to the other counties and cities of the East Midlands, or you can look at the separate footprints of other counties:
Derbyshire Leicestershire Lincolnshire Northamptonshire Download trend analysis
These visualisations use a dataset from the Department from Energy and Climate Change 'Carbon dioxide emissions within the scope of influence of local authorities' which is updated annually, two years in arrears. Some large sources of emissions like industrial processes and motorways are excluded from the dataset because they are only influenced by national level policies.
Developed by Warren Pearce, University of Nottingham on behalf of Climate East Midlands, September 2012.

Decentralised Energy case studies
Climate East Midlands commissioned the Carbon Trust to run a training programme on Decentralised Energy for local authority planners in 2011/12. This consisted of a series of Masterclasses looking at how different technologies have been utilised in different locations in the East Midlands and the planning issues involved. One of the outputs from the project is a set of Decentralised Energy case studies, which can be downloaded below.

Planning for Climate Change - new national guidance
This new national guidance, published on 25/4/2012 by the Town and Country Planning Asociation on behalf of the Planning and Climate Change Coalition guidance updates the earlier guide published in 2010 which itself was based on the draft Planning Policy Statement (PPS) on climate and energy, Planning for a Low Carbon Future in a Changing Climate, published in March 2010.
The guidance has been developed to reflect the Localism Act and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) through cross-sector dialogue, using the wide-ranging expertise of the Planning and Climate Change Coalition. The Guide is divided into two parts; Part 1 sets the context on climate change, Part 2 offers a set of principles and good practice guidance which local authorities and communities may find helpful in preparing their plans and implementing them through development management.
The new guide is supported and sponsored by Climate UK, the national network of climate change partnerships which includes Climate East Midlands.
