- Publication 18 June 2021 Deep Energy Retrofit Business Guide for Public Buildings In European Union countries and in the United States, buildings account for more than 40% of all energy consumed and for 35 to 45% of CO2 emissions, making buildings the largest enduse energy sector, followed by industry and transportation. [1] Moreover, over 80% of the existing buildings today are at least 15 years old. [2] Buildings’ enormous appetite for electricity —most of which is produced by fossil fuels — threatens our climate, our security, our economy, and our health.The building…
- Publication 18 June 2021 Best Practice Guidelines for Using Energy Performance Contracts To Improve Government Buildings This document is a product of IEA ECBCS Annex 46, Subtask C. The objective of Subtask C of Annex 46, Holistic Assessment Tool-Kit on Energy Efficient Retrofit Measures for Government Buildings, was to develop best practice guidelines for innovative energy performance contracts (EPCs). Accordingly, this document analyzes the use of EPCs to implement energy efficiency upgrades in government buildings. It presents information on the methods used to put EPCs in place at government facilities,…
- Publication 18 June 2021 3. IEA DSM TASK XVI Competitive Energy Services (Energy-Contracting, ESCo Services) (2010 Final task report of Task XVI „Competitive Energy Services (Energy-Contracting, ESCo services)“ - Phase 1 (July 2006 – June 2009) with a focus on the key results of the task work: “Integrated Energy-Contracting” model, “Comparison of Financing Options”, “Comprehensive Building Refurbishment through EPC”, “EnergyContracting in the Residential Sector” and “Opportunity Cost Tool”, overview of National Implementation Activities performed by country experts as well as conclusions and outlook on…
- Publication 18 June 2021 Performance Contracting Summary Report (2003) Energy performance contracting (EPC) is a wide variety of mechanisms, which, by rationally using the knowledge of energy professionals, opens up opportunities for property owners to install more energy-efficient equipment and systems in their buildings without tying up their own capital. Projects performed give examples of energy savings in buildings by 20 to 40 per cent even if some of the savings could be reached also with other energy-efficiency activities. Estimates indicate that the market…
- Publication 18 June 2021 Best Practices in Designing and Implementing Energy Efficiency Obligation Schemes (2012) An energy efficiency obligation (EEO) is a regulatory mechanism that requires obligated parties to meet quantitative energy saving targets by delivering or procuring eligible energy savings produced by implementing approved end-use energy efficiency measures. The requirement to meet quantitative energy saving targets distinguishes EEOs from other similar mechanisms, such as a general requirement to acquire all cost effective energy efficiency with no target specified. Governments in various…
- Publication 18 June 2021 Energy Provider‐Delivered Energy Efficiency Energy providers will play a pivotal role over the coming decades in managing energy demand growth and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The IEA projects that the power sector will deliver up to two‐thirds of cumulative emissions reductions under the climate‐stabilizing 450 ppm scenario, by switching to less carbon‐intensive generation, improving operational efficiency, and reducing demand (IEA 2011a). Reducing electricity end‐use demand by itself is expected to account for 1/3 of the…
- Publication 18 June 2021 ESCO project and Market Development: A Role for failitators to Play (2013 This article is the second in a series on Facilitators in the ESCO market. The IEA DSM Programme is delving into this topic through its work in DSM Task 16: Competitive Energy Service (Energy Contracting, ESCo Services). This article is based on the Task 16 report ”ESCo Market Development: A Role for Facilitators”. The objective of this publication is to 1) create a scientific reference baseline for project/market Facilitators, which can be used for further discussions, 2) demonstrate the added…
- Publication 18 June 2021 E2.7.2 – Recommendations for Governments for the Adoption of EPC by the Scholar Sector This deliverable is part of Activity 2.7 – Development of new business models and management strategies for schools and this task focuses on developing a document with recommendations for governments for the adoption of energy performance contracts (EPC) by the scholar sector. With this in mind, the present document compiles information about the pathways for engagement in EPCs for governments and public authorities. The main outcome of this document is to define a pathway for public…
