Anchor Environmental Sustainability & Net Zero Carbon Strategy 2023 – 2026
Objectives
Targets
• Make existing homes more energy efficient, comfortable and affordable to run • Build new homes which are more energy efficient and affordable to run • Make care homes more energy efficient • Ethical and responsible procurement of services that reduce carbon emissions • Reduce Anchor’s operational carbon emissions • Build colleague understanding of and engagement in carbon reduction • Report our total greenhouse gas emissions annually • Better understand and reduce fuel poverty and the risk of fuel poverty amongst residents • Seek to maximise grant funding opportunities for retrofit works to support as many leasehold homes as possible also reach EPC C by 2030 and net zero by 2050
• Reach net zero across all emissions by 2050 • Reach net zero operational emissions by 2030 • All rented homes will be at least EPC C by 2030 • All care homes to be EPC C well before 2030 • CO 2 / Energy Use / Cost savings average per household from retrofit initiatives and/or resident engagement initiatives
Existing Housing Make housing more energy efficient, comfortable and affordable to run.
Our baseline carbon footprint for 2021-22 identified that 59% of our total carbon footprint is from scope 1 (direct emissions – mostly from heating and hot water supplied to communal areas and residents’ homes via communal systems), and scope 3 leased assets (heating, hot water and electricity used within residents’ homes).
EPC bands - where are we starting from? Anchor Rented And Care Homes EPC Ratings 2022/23
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) bands are generated from Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) surveys and assess the energy demand and cost in the home. Band C roughly equates to a space heating demand of 90 kwh/m2/hr.
