Energy Efficiency Commitment 2005 - 2008 CHP/Communal boiler calculation spreadsheet

User Instructions

This spreadsheet has been developed to assist the evaluation of the energy savings that could achieved fro
a CHP scheme under the EEC. Combined heat and power/communal boiler schemes displace (fully or partia
electricity based heating systems, generally in community heating schemes. The spreadsheet seeks to cov
types of scheme that could be proposed, but there may still be a need to undertake specific calculations for
example a scheme that involves both existing and new build property) . In these circumstances, further gui
from Ofgem before submitting a scheme for approval.
Principles of the Calculation:

The energy saving evaluation is based on determining the energy consumption of the site before and after t
CHP / communal boiler scheme. This before and after comparison is considered in terms of 'fuel standardise
as required by the general evaluation methodology for EEC 2005 / 2008 schemes.

Retrofit schemes
The scenario here would be an existing conventional boiler house where the boilers are to be wholly or part
or new communal boilers. The energy saving would be calculated by comparing the sites existing energy co
consumption under the scheme the energy supplier is proposing.
New build installations

In a new build scenario, the alternative to installing CHP or communal boiler plant would be to install a new
(such as individual new conventional gas boilers). The energy saving would be derived by first calculating t
the site under the CHP / communal boiler system being proposed. This figure would be compared to the ene
the alternative conventional system, that would be installed in place of the CHP / communal boiler plant.
Evaluation of energy savings

The following stages are undertaken in the evaluation of the energy savings from a CHP / communal boiler s
