Agenda The Environment Energy Management Smart Grids Real Life Examples Demonstration Page 13 of So what is a Green Energy Project? A project that reduces the environmental impact of producing and consuming energy in two possible ways: By improving energy efficiency By introducing clean energy from renewable sources Page 14 of
Why do Green Energy Projects show up so frequently lately? Energy prices have steeply risen within the last few years Energy production is closely related to CO 2 emissions Both aspects have very high social awareness Page 15 of Smart Grid Model by 2020 Page 16 of
So what do we do? Three are the main goals: Closely monitor energy consumption Include renewables into the power grid in a smart way Increase awareness and participation of the energy end user to the market Page 17 of The Environment Energy Management Smarter Grids Page 18 of

Examples Page 21 of Project tracking Tracking the energy performance of a project over time and action on it as soon as it goes below it s expected efficiencies. Solution for verifying the success of energy reduction policies Better Tracking leads to energy cost reductions, lower CO2 emissions and better energy management Page 22 of
Project tracking What gains would you have by replacing your airconditioning systems? A vendor has promised 20% energy reductions. Does he achieve this? How to choose on a project strategy? Where to start a project rollout? Page 23 of Project tracking What you can t measure you can t control Project Tracking is essentially a Monitoring & Verification module Variables external to the consumption that may affect the consumption of a site must be determined, such as e.g. weather data A history overview is important to determine if a project does or does not save energy Page 24 of
Project tracking Calculated results should be provided in order to demonstrate exactly what the loss/gains were Tracking should also allow for what-if scenarios Multi-site projects are extremely different from single-site Best Practises: At least 6 months of data gathering are required to take care of seasonality changes Submetering Page 25 of EIServer reports Page 26 of
