1 Position Paper Five key elements that will enable the Directive to raise energy efficiency, to generate growth and to create jobs across the Union Introduction On 22 June 2011, the Commission adopted the Proposal for a Directive on energy efficiency (COM(2011) 370 final). For the moment, the Directive is being discussed at the Parliament and at the Council of the Union. The () supports the Directive which, we believe, will not only lead to raised energy efficiency and a reduction in energy dependency across the Union (EU), but also, more importantly not least in the current times represents a great opportunity for growth and jobs creation in all EU s corners. s account today for 40% of the EU s overall energy consumption and for 36% of the EU s overall GHG emissions. We know that approximately 70% of the buildings that we will occupy in 2050 are already standing at present. Further, around 20% of the energy consumed by Europe s buildings is wasted, mainly due to inefficient maintenance, a lack of basic energy efficiency measures and poor energy efficiency behaviour by occupants. This waste represents a cost of approximately 270 billion every year, a figure that is set to increase to 53% by 2030 if no action is taken to curb it. Therefore, the renovation of both buildings owned by public bodies and buildings owned by private bodies is of great importance in order to ensure a sustainable future. In this position paper, would like to raise five key elements that, according to us, will enable the Directive to ensure a sustainable future: 1. A longer-term approach towards the renovation of public, non-residential and residential buildings 2. A harmonised set of policies to make buildings smart-grid ready 3. A clearer definition of Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) 4. A cost-effective approach towards the renovation of public buildings 5. A stronger recognition of the need to combine audits and energy management schemes
2 1. A longer-term approach towards the renovation of public, non-residential and residential buildings It is important to reconcile the Directive s goal, to raise energy efficiency with the Union s long term ambitions, especially in terms of GHG emissions reduction. In order to achieve this objective, supports the creation of a Roadmap stretching until Such a Roadmap should: 1. Give clear targets related to the energy consumption to be achieved depending on building type (public, non-residential and residential) 2. Address the existing diversity by setting up tailor-made targets and policies depending on building type 3. Provide tailor-made solutions in order to fully unlock the available funding and to ensure that the workforce is adequately skilled 4. Identify ways to enable buildings to become intelligent and to interact with their environment In conclusion, a coherent long term strategy encompassing the four above mentioned objectives is the only real solution in order to ensure a sustainable future. 2. A harmonised set of policies to make buildings smart-grid ready supports the introduction of Demand Response (DR) in the Directive. DR will enable final customers to temporarily reduce their demand in response to supply conditions, for example in the case of electricity. It also allows a dialogue between suppliers and final customers. DR will facilitate the integration of distributed generation and the introduction of distributed intelligence in both new and existing buildings. also strongly urges that the wording of the Directive go beyond smart meters when it comes to cost effective technological innovations. Smart meters are not in themselves smart: they allow the final customer to visualise his/her energy use in real time, but without being able to influence it. Clearly, such a measure will not drive energy efficiency on its own. What is needed is a clear reference to building automation and controls whenever smart meters are mentioned: they enable buildings to become intelligent and to communicate with their environment. Final customers will then not only observe but be able to act on their energy use. Further, building automation and controls, in comparison with other technologies, are technologies that are already available on the market, that are cost efficient and that have short pay-back times.
3 Additionally, the potential reduction with the introduction of building automation and controls in thermal and electrical energy consumption in all sectors is substantial: 26% in educational institutions and hospitals 27% in residential buildings 41% in hotels and restaurants 49% in wholesale and retail buildings 52% in office and lecture halls In conclusion, without enabling technologies, such as building automation and controls as well as Demand Response, achieving substantial energy efficiency improvements will only remain a dream. 3. A clearer definition of Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) believes that the energy service provider definition in the Directive should be removed and that the energy service company (ESCO) definition 1 should be reinstated. The ESCO definition is a well-accepted nomenclature in the market and is being used by many different stakeholders, for example those offering services, customers and policy-makers. Further, by reinstating an ESCO definition, consistency within the Directive and with other EU pieces of legislations will be ensured for example Directive 2006/32/EC on energy end-use efficiency and energy services and repealing Council Directive 93/76/EEC and the Impact Assessment accompanying the Directive (SEC(2011) 779 Final, 22/06/2011) as well as its accompanying Annexes (SEC(2011) 780 final). The energy service provider definition, on the other hand, is vague and open to different interpretations. also believes that the Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) definition that is featured in the Directive does not accurately reflect reality. Energy Performance Contracts are marketed and sold on the basis of the guarantee that they offer a guarantee that encompasses financial as well as kilowatt hours savings. This is not adequately highlighted in the Directive as it stands. We also believe that public authorities should also be called to consider the use of the Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) in order to lower the level of public investments. In conclusion, without the appropriate tools as well as the appropriate screws, it is very difficult to construct an energy efficient house. Therefore, precise and adequate definitions are needed. 1 In Directive 2006/32/EC, ESCO is defined as follows: energy service company (ESCO): a natural or legal person that delivers energy services and/or other energy efficiency improvement measures in a user's facility or premises, and accepts some degree of financial risk in so doing. The payment for the services delivered is based (either wholly or in part) on the achievement of energy efficiency improvements and on the meeting of the other agreed performance criteria;
4 4. A cost-effective approach toward the renovation of public buildings strongly supports the yearly 3% renovation rate for buildings owned by public bodies proposed by the Directive. Apart from the fact that it is important that public bodies set the good example, there are also significant savings in terms of kilowatt hours and money waiting to be realised. This would free up public resources for other uses. Therefore, we also strongly believe that the loft of 250 m 2 should be removed to allow the full potential to be realised. Further, ESCOs carrying out EPC, such as the eu.esco member companies 2, can support public bodies in the renovation of their buildings at no additional costs. eu.esco member companies typically work closely together which local Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in order to bring the guaranteed energy savings into life. Thus, the positive financial impact of the renovations extends beyond the buildings and the public bodies themselves into the local economy. In conclusion, public bodies need to set the good example and ESCOs carrying out EPC, will enable them to do that at no additional costs. Further, ESCOs are SME friendly. 5. A stronger recognition of the need to combine audits and energy management schemes is of the opinion that the most important aspect is not to undergo an energy audit in itself but rather, what is realised with the identified measures that it will bring forward. In other words, the implementation of the identified measures is "the" key issue in this case. In order to promote and to guarantee flexibility as well as to drive the implementation of energy management systems, large enterprises should not be subject to mandatory energy audits if they chose to introduce an energy management standard such as the ISO (International standard) 3 or the EN ( standard) 4. In conclusion, flexibility is key for large enterprises and by providing them with tools in order to raise their energy efficiency, such as an energy management standard, will ensure that they are on-board. 2 eu.esco stands for the Association of Energy Service Companies. It was founded in 2009 by. The association s goal is to accelerate the adoption of Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) by helping Member States to achieve their energy efficiency target. (
5 In summary, the Directive presents a great opportunity for Member States to achieve a workable and coherent framework of measures, aimed to realise concrete energy savings, to improve energy security and to boost the local economy through green investments and local jobs creation.
