Notice Title

Energy Budget Optimisation Software

Notice Description

Introduction The University of Birmingham is member of the Russell Group of research led Universities, with an estate comprising circa 180 buildings covering over 600,000m2 of floor space, 34,000 staff and students and an energy spend of over PS10 million per year. We have a commitment to reduce our carbon emissions by 20% by 2020 from a 2005/06 baseline, we have currently achieved 18%. The University operates an extensive 11kV private wire network and a number of district heating systems. These are feed from a number of generators (eg CHP, PV), which can provide 7MW of our peak electrical demand of circa 13MW. We have heat storage and cooling (both absorption and electric) installed on site. We have detailed information and consumption profiles of our use, down to building level (and beyond) on a 30 minute basis. Requirements for Software We wish to procure software with which technical and economic analysis of our operation can be undertaken with the objective of optimising the usage to maximise fiscal benefit and minimise carbon footprint. This software needs to be fully functioning now and not a development project.
