Request Received: 2 January 2022
Please could you provide the price paid (per m^2, rounded/non-disclosive) for the Solar Panels at BASC, just south of Madingley Road, Cambridge? And the auditing/ validation around that price?
It might be best just to stick to the above, which is the only question I wish to pursue, but if you would like to tell me anything else about them, I will be very grateful:
- their embodied (audited/ and independently verified by triangulation and sensors) footprint?
- their achieved power output (over 2021 maybe) total kWh?
- the CO2 accounts of BASC/Cambridge?
- what is the utilisation (load) factor, and power consumption, of what are your fume hoods (what the vents look to be)?
- the electricity bill (for the same period) of BASC/Cambridge?
- BASC.ac.uk's auditing, and ecosystem, accounting/etc Standard (can't remember, maybe ISO or BS?)?
Many of them face the wrong way, if I am not mistaken*, and are also at an extremely low tilt angle. And BASC/Cambridge has, there, perhaps 6 (or 8?) refrigeration shipping containers, running.
Clarification received 22 January 2022:
Question 3 - refers to embodied carbon footprint, i.e. embodied CO2equivalent, preferably Scope 3
Question 6 - provide for example, a more specific location / which system
All of those "forced vent systems", comprising 3 or 4 groups of metal double wall (?) vents longer than ~3ft above the roof level at their base, I think.
