1 Energy Audits Implementation of measures Links between Article 7 and 8 in Austria Concerted Action EED Vienna Austrian Energy Agency (AEA) Christoph Ploiner 23 rd March 2018

2 Brief overview Article 7 implementation in Austria Target : 218 PJ cumulative final energy savings 10 Energy Efficiency Act Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme (EEOS) & Alternative Strategic Measures 310 PJ Strategic Measures 151 PJ / Energy providers 159 PJ (all energy carriers) Individual savings obligation: 0.6 % based on previous year energy sales 25GWh At least 0.24 % (40% of 0.6%) in households or public transport Additional upscaling factor for energy efficiency measures in energy poor households (1.5) 2

3 Brief overview Article 8 implementation in Austria 9 Energy Efficiency Act Audit obligation Large enterprises (non-sme) ( > 250 employees / both turnover > 50 M and balance sheet > 43 M ) External energy audit / management system with internal energy audit 17 Energy Efficiency Act Energy Service Providers Qualification requirements: Combination of education and experience Publicly available register 18 and Annex 3 Energy Efficiency Act Minimum Criteria for Energy Audits Energy audits have to refer to actual data Annex 3 = List of required contents 3

4 Comparison of Article 7 and 8 EEOS Austria (Article 7) Energy Audit Obligation Austria (Article 8) Obligation Energy provider Large enterprises (non-sme) Intention Implementation of measures Analysis of consumption & identification of measures Scope Final Energy Consumption Total Energy Consumption Scope Austria Company (in some cases even non- Austria) e.g. Truck fuel consumption abroad Deadline reporting Service Provider Quality Subsidy Mid February of the following year Certified or accredited reviewer, officially recognised scientist, surveyor or qualified auditor Subsidised measures not or only partly eligible for the EEOS Not for implementing of measures Quality criteria according to Energy Efficiency Act Subsidy programs can trigger the implementation of identified measures 4

5 Reporting of Energy Audits Online Database Online application and database for reporting ( e-government ) Online-Form: Analysed sectors: Buildings Processes Transport Information on management system(s) Internal or external energy audit Energy consumption per sector & in total Energy savings potential per sector & in total Energy cost savings per sector & in total Register number of leading energy auditor Completion date of report Energy audit report (recommended) and/or Summary of energy audit report (obligatory) 5

6 Reporting of Energy Audits Templates Recommended templates for the audit report and the report summary Available on the website of the Monitoring Agency Templates for Energy Audit & Energy Audit Summary Contents of the summary (obligatory) Scope of the audit (Description and locations of the company) Names of the auditors Energy consumption of each energy carrier Energy consumption of most relevant devices Potential energy efficiency measures Plan for implementation of energy efficiency measures 6

7 Financing options for identified measures 1. Pay-back period within a few years => Standard investment 2. Energy efficiency measures which meet the requirements in the EEOS can be sold to an energy provider 3. There are several subsidy programs for energy efficiency measures, the most relevant one for individual measures in companies is Operational domestic environmental support (UFI) A combination of these options are possible under certain circumstances. 7

8 Decree on the national monitoring agency According to 27 of the Energy Efficiency Act Criteria for the eligibility of ee-measures Criteria for the calculation of energy savings Standardised calculation methods for frequently implemented measures Guidelines on the calculation of energy savings for individual projects Requirements for individual measures identified in an energy audit Documentation criteria for ee-measures Quality criteria for evaluators of energy efficiency measures 8

9 Criteria for energy audit energy efficiency measures in regard to the EEOS Final energy saving in Austria Implementation has to be completed has to be investment-related Qualified Auditor necessary Required report of energy savings evaluation Analysis of the energy consumption of the company Analysis of the energy consumption of the affected system (before and after energy efficiency measure) Methodology and results of evaluation Operational lifetime Documentation requirements Measures can be sold to obligated energy provider 9
