1 The IEE Programme Timothée NOEL Project Officer Executive Agency for Competitiveness & Innovation BuildingEQ-Symposium in Berlin, October 1, 2009

2 Today s focus context the IEE Programme in the building sector

3 What is at stake? Security of supply Energy supply must be secure and affordable energy objectives Climate change The future has to be low-carbon Financial crisis A relaunch of the economy is needed Climate and energy package Second Strategic Energy Review

4 Main policy actions EU Objectives Set of legislation Support Programmes Current directives on the: Generation (cogeneration, RES) Products (labelling, eco-design) Buildings (EPBD) Services (ESD) Taxation FP7: research Structural Funds LIFE+: environment CIP: innovation & competitiveness ( includes IEE)

5 Buildings: At the core of EU prosperity 40 % of EU energy use 36 % of EU CO 2 emissions 9% of EU GDP 7-8% of EU employment Cost-effective savings potential: 28% by 2020 Key EU legislation: Energy Performance of Buildings Directive

6 Making energy efficiency visible Energy Performance Certificate Energy Class D Energy Class D

7 Sharpening the Buildings Directive Strengthen the current requirements Stimulate market entry of low/zero energy low/zero carbon buildings To give an additional 5-6 % saving of total EU energy consumption 5 % saving of total EU CO 2 emissions 280, ,000 potential new jobs

8 Today s focus context the IEE Programme in the building sector

9 Converting policy into action The Intelligent Energy Europe Programme (IEE) IEE is an EU support programme promoting increased energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources by overcoming the non-technological barriers (legal, financial, institutional, cultural, social barriers)

10 A programme to help convert policy into action EU energy efficiency and renewables objectives Creating and spreading effective methods and best practice Training and education Know-how transfer Market intelligence Inform policy development and implementation Real changes on the ground

11 Intelligent Energy Europe in figures Budgets: IEE 2, : 730 million Maximum funding rate: IEE 2, : 75% Projects supported to date: 400+ projects 60 local/regional energy agencies Number of beneficiaries: > 3,000 Projects involve at least 3 partners from different countries Projects take 2 to maximum 3 years to deliver

12 Funding areas Energy efficiency Mobility Renewable energy sources Local leadership Special initiatives

13 Today s focus context the IEE Programme in the building sector

14 in the building sector Many energy-efficient solutions are known and available but several non-technological barriers hindering their introduction Lack of information Traditions, inertia Insufficient capital, only short ROI Fragmentation of the market Split incentives

15 Overview of ongoing building Projects 70 on-going or recently completed projects in the buildings sector: 38% 31% Retrofitting of social housing Support to EPBD Technologies and energy management 31% ~ 34 million support

16 Support EPBD Implementation Legislative Framework Market Informed Actors Characteristics Existing Stock New Construction Renovation Transactions Demography..... Consumer Demand Market Regulators Robust scheme

17 Using Energy Performance Certificates Raise occupants/tenants awareness Change behaviour Define tailored schemes Advice occupants/tenants with cost-effective energy saving measures Define property valuation Manage buildings stocks Improve buildings operation

18 Examples of IEE projects 1/2 IDEAL EPBD Analysis of consumer response to certificates in the residential sector Early monitoring of schemes in 10 countries questionnaires and interviews Feedback to CA EPBD CYBER DISPLAY Municipal and commercial buildings Local communication campaigns Behavioural change Creation of front running municipalities applying national legislation

19 Examples of IEE projects 2/2 ESAM Social Housing Operators New methods and information systems for energy diagnoses, certification and renovation strategies Tests in 6 countries involving 20,000 apartments IMMOVALUE A strategic study for integrating energy efficiency and LCC aspects into a new international property valuation methodology

20 Improve the energy performance of buildings by gathering building professionals, local authorities and citizens on THE portal for energy efficient building. Public authorities Building occupants Building professionals 2 main goals: Transfer best practices of energy savings measures to the market. Keep the market updated about the energy legislation for buildings.
