4 OBJECTIVES Understand the relevant key requirements and background of the European Energy Efficiency Directive Understand how ESOS has transposed these requirements Understand who is required to comply with ESOS Understand How to comply with ESOS

5 ENERGY EFFICIENCY DIRECTIVE The most recent directive (2012) which needs to be enacted in member states legislations during The Key Measures Article 3 Binding national energy efficiency targets Focus the mind of member state governments with the potential of penalties for non-achievement.

6 ENERGY EFFICIENCY DIRECTIVE 3 National Energy Efficiency Targets 4 Buildings Energy efficiency in end use 5 Demonstrate exemplar role of public sector 6 Purchasing energy efficiency in the public sector 7 Obligation scheme for suppliers 8 Audits and energy management systems 9 metering 10 Billing information 11 Cost of access to billing information 12 Consumer information 13 Penalties 14 District heating and cooling 15 Efficiency in transformation, transmission and distribution 16 Qualification, Certification and accreditation 17 Encourage success info and training 18 Promotion of ESCo s 19 Removal of Barriers 20 Energy Efficiency Fund 24 Review & Monitoring

7 ENERGY SAVINGS OPPORTUNITY SCHEME (ESOS) Transposes Article 8 Energy Audits and Energy Management Systems Requirement for large undertakings to do audits every 4 years unless ISO certified Promotion of availability of audits and EnMS Encourage Training programme for energy auditors Assists towards Article 16 Qualification, Accreditation and Certification schemes for energy service providers

8 WHO DOES ESOS APPLY TO Organisations must take part in ESOS if they, or at least one of their UK group members, are a 'large undertaking'. A 'large undertaking' is an organisation engaged in a trade or business which: or employs at least 250 persons has an annual turnover above 50 million (approximately 42.5 million) and an annual balance sheet above 43 million (approximately 36.5 million). Does not apply to Public Sector or organisations subject to an insolvency procedure

9 WHAT ABOUT CORPORATE GROUPS If corporate groups have one large UK organisation, then all UK components of that group MUST comply with ESOS. Note Whilst in UK law there is no requirement to undertake ESOS audits when this is not the case members of large corporate groups should check other jurisdictions and seek corporate guidance as some European Communications about the underlying directive suggest a requirement to look across borders within EU

10 COMPLIANCE PERIODS Compliance Period First period: 6 Dec Dec 2015 Second period: 6 Dec Dec 2019 Subsequent periods: every following four-years Qualificati Compliance on Date Deadline 31 Dec Dec Dec Dec Dec 2022, 2026, etc. 5 Dec 2023, 2027, etc.

11 REQUIREMENTS (SUMMARY) If ALL organisation covered under accredited ISO management system deemed to comply inform Environment Agency If some but not all under ISO then you must conduct an ESOS assessment Note: Just because you have an ISO Certificate on the wall does not mean you comply (90% energy within scope including transport Accredited Is your CB Accredited (to ISO 50001) If not on the Cert ask them for proof.

12 WHAT REQUIRED TO DO? measuring their total energy consumption identifying their areas of significant energy consumption (at least 90% of the total) selecting a route to compliance in respect of each area of significant energy consumption and undertake the activity to comply (see next slide) appoint a 'lead assessor' to undertake, oversee or review their audits and overall assessment.

13 SIGNIFICANT ENERGY USE At least 90% of total energy use must be covered by ESOS compliant energy audit Display Energy Certificate Green Deal Assessment ISO Certified Energy Management System Unless you have an ISO Certified Energy Management System (for all of scope of ESOS) you MUST have a Qualified lead assessor review your activities

14 AUDIT REQUIREMENTS Can take pace any time during compliance period Audits already carried out before ESOS was introduced can contribute to its implementation as long as they meet the scheme's requirements.

15 AUDIT REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED) An ESOS-compliant energy audit is one that: Is based on 12 months verifiable data for a continuous period, beginning no earlier than 6 December 2010 for the first compliance period and Data from no more than 24 months before the start of the audit The data also may not have been used for an energy audit in a previous compliance period)

16 AUDIT REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED) Audit must analyse the participants energy consumption and energy efficiency Auditor should break down the uses of energy in the organisation and analyse the variations in energy use to identify efficiencies that may be present. Essentially the audit is required to identify the areas of significant energy use within the organisation

17 AUDIT REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED) Identify the energy and cost saving opportunities within the organisation Reasonably practical and cost effective Outline approx. cost and benefits of implementation Analyse over lifetime LCC/ NPV No obligation on organisation to implement.

18 SITE VISITS These are required Sampling may be used for multiple sites of similar/ identical nature Number of visits must ensure collection of adequate data and analysis of all areas of significant energy use. Evidence of sound justification required for approach taken for sampling etc (Records of decision taken)

19 WHO CAN DO AUDIT Needs to be signed off by an ESOS approved Lead Assessor. Can be organisation employee (as long as approved lead assessor) Reviewed at director level within organisation.

20 REPORT COMPLIANCE Must report compliance with environment Agency by 15 th Dec 2015 for Phase 1. Must retain Evidence Pack containing: Details of the undertakings making up your participant and identification of the responsible undertaking (see Section 3.3). Details of the responsible board-level Director(s) or equivalents that have taken the lead on signing-off your compliance with ESOS. Details of your Lead Assessor (see Section 5). The calculation of your total energy consumption. A list of your identified areas of significant energy consumption.

21 EVIDENCE PACK (CONTINUED) Details of the routes to compliance used to cover each area of significant energy consumption. Your reasons, where applicable, for using less than 12 months of data for the measurement of total energy consumption (see Section 4.4.4). Your reasons, where applicable, for using less than 12 months of data to support an ESOS Energy Audit (see Section ).

22 EVIDENCE PACK (CONTINUED) Details of the audit methodology used in your ESOS Energy Audits (see Section 6.2.4). Your reasons, where applicable, for being unable to use verifiable data on energy use or energy expenditure to support your calculation of total energy use and the methodology of any estimation made. Justification, where applicable, where your auditor does not consider an energy consumption profile in their audit of an area of significant energy use (see Section ).

23 BENCHMARKING Benchmarking comparison of your energy performance to organisations/ systems/ processes of similar activity is important to get a good assessment of the potential for improvement and should be done where possible Buildings Transport Industrial processes Equipment (eg boiler efficiency v/s stated manufacturer levels

24 LEADING THE WAY AEE qualified professionals should lead the way in delivering audit reports that are Consistent with the organisations operations and activities Outline opportunities that lead to real energy, cost and carbon improvement for the organisation under assessment A practical direction to the report reader A credit to the lead assessor and AEE We need to lead the way with effective reports and not just tick the box for compliance

25 REMEMBER As an AEE Certified Professional you are obliged to: Abide by the AEE code of Ethics and deliver work of the best professional standards Co-operate with any investigation into any complaint made against any AEE Certified Professional Keep up to date with developments in the industry by undertaking Continuous Professional Development Activities
