Methodology The College will implement its CCAP primarily as part of its Estates operational and strategic planning process. The Sustainable Development Committee will have the opportunity to review and input into future CCAPs as part of the planning process in advance of Board approval. The Sustainable Development Committee will also oversee the implementation of the plan and evaluate its effectiveness against the targets set. The plan will be reviewed annually and will take into account available resources and strategic priorities. All new proposals for projects which will reduce the carbon footprint of the building will be supported by a realistic business case which will outline the payback period and financial impacts. The priority for the College Estate is to close City Campus and reconfigure other campus buildings in order to rationalise the estate in line with the Glasgow Regional Curriculum and Estates Review. This will require significant investment and will deliver considerable cost savings and carbon reduction. Other carbon reduction projects will be planned subject to the availability of funding. Additionally, the Estates strategy will seek to ensure that existing technologies in buildings are well maintained and staff are trained in their use. This is anticipated to reduce costs and carbon emissions over the 5 years of the plan. It is anticipated that the Sustainable Development Committee will identify other potential projects for carbon reduction. These will be assessed on a financial basis due to the current restrictions on public funds. Where there are resources available for investment in such projects, they will be evaluated on a robust cost/benefit analysis in addition to the financial payback period. The CCAP will be evaluated annually, the main target for carbon reduction relates to the rationalisation of the estate which is scheduled for September 2016. Once this project is nearing completion, the development of plans for years 3-5 of this plan will be undertaken and progress reviewed. Summary of the 5-year Plan, Savings and Targets This section summarises Glasgow Kelvin College’s current carbon reduction plan and targets. Where savings are on-going a total for the 5 year plan is provided as lifetime savings.
