from April 2013 to March 2016
Berlin, 26.04.2013
1) Title slide
2) Project Summary EESI2020
Vision
•Broad roll-out of Energy Performance Contracting (EPC)programmes and their integration in local and regional energyplans in European cities and regions
Main target groups
•Representatives from targeted cities or regions that will bedirectly consulted in the concrete implementation of EPC projectsin their communities
•Potential EPC project facilitators who have the chance toparticipate in training session and become multipliers for the EPCconcept in their regions
Major outputs
•Systematic EPC developments in major cities and metropolitanregions, such as Antwerp, Barcelona, Berlin, Dublin, Graz, Oslo,Prague, Sofia, and Zagreb
•EPC training materials and workshops for EPC facilitators
•Promotion media and EPC movies for all regions
•3 European Energy Service Awards to honour outstanding effortsand achievements for the development and success of EPC
•Aggregated European policy recommendations
3) Background EESI2020
The latest estimations suggest that the EU will achieve only half of the 20 % targetfor energy efficiency in 2020
New Energy Services Directive (2012/27/EU) considers Energy PerformanceContracting (EPC) as an important tool for the refurbishment of buildings and forthe upgrade of public infrastructures
Many European cities have committed themselves to energy saving measures, butpredominantly non-technological barriers impede the broad application of EPC:
•lack of systematic information
•lack of trust
•lack of relative procurement procedures
•shortage of professional project facilitators
EESI 2020 leverages best practice examples of successful EPC projects throughoutEurope and launches training programs for project facilitators, which will bemultipliers for the EPC concept in their regions and cities
4) Objectives and main steps of EESI2020
Key objective
•Systematic implementation of EPC programmes in large cities and metropolitanregions with at least 100,000 inhabitants
Mains steps
•Experienced EPC project facilitators („Senior partners“) will transfer their Europeanbest practice experience on project development to „Junior partners“ within theconsortium
•Training materials will be developed and applied in EPC facilitator trainings andwebinars for external interested parties (e.g. energy agencies, consultants,municipalities)
•Consortium partners will identify and initially develop at least 54 EPC projectcandidates, i.e. supporting and instructing members of city/regional authorities withinthe established EPC implementation task forces
•Finally, EESI2020 aims at becoming the European leading source of information onEPC facilitation by initiating a broad set of regional and international promotion anddissemination activities
5) Expected impacts of EESI2020
Main deliverables and impacts:
•Assessment reports of local / regional EPC implementation status
•Locally adapted EPC basic documents and tools
•European „Best Practice“ EPC projects database
•Special training workshops and regular phone/web conferences for EPC facilitators(knowledge transfer and capacity building)
•Setup and support of local EPC implementation task forces in the partner cities/regions
•Project identification and development (54 project diaries, 20 projects tendered andsigned)
•Policy recommendations on further development of EPC in cities and regions (incl.European position paper)
•Creation of EESI2020 promotion platform and 7 EPC short films
•3 high profile EESI Award ceremonies
