| GENERAL INFORMATION |
Initial Situation 38 public schools in the federal state of Lower Austria were pooled together in a performance contracting project. Much of the technical equipment used in the schools was in a state of suboptimal performance and efficiency. In addition to implementing building performance improvements, approximately 1.250 classes with 30.000 students participated in the project “User Motivation for Energy-Conscious Behaviour”. Goals of building owner ─ Lowering the operational costs ─ Reducing energy demand ─ Increasing the plant’s reliability ─ Raising awareness of students, teachers, and school staff ─ Introduction of a new energy management system to simplify the use of the system and to reduce the energy waste |

| IMPLEMENTED VIA ANDMEASURES IMPLEMENTED | EPC | |
| TYPE OF MEASURES | Ten year energy savings contract, new regulation and control systems, individual room controls, application of reference detectors and thermostats, hydraulic equipment, damping and insulation of windows, condensing boiler and exhaust chiller, heat pumps and solar plants, heat recovery at ventilation systems, optimization of ventilation systems, energy efficient lighting, time switch towards stand-by, and energy metering. | |
| CONTRACT DURATION | 10 YEARS | |
| ENERGY COSTS 2012 (BASELINE) | 3.120.000 €/Y | |
| GUARANTEED SAVINGS IN EURO | 722.330.000 €/Y | |
| GUARANTEED SAVINGS IN % | 23.15 % | |
| REDUCTION OF CO2-EMISSIONS | > 2’880 T/Y | |
| INNOVATIONS AND CLIENT’S ADVANTAGES |
─ Lower operational costs ─ Increased reliability ─ Reduction of CO2-Emissions ─ Supporting management initiatives ─ User motivation ─ Preventing energy waste ─ Lowering energy demand ─ Supporting alternative energy ─ Creation of green jobs ─ Creation of energy analysis and benchmarks ─ Reduction of energy consumption and maintenance requirements ─ Customer support for a period of over 10 years ─ Extension of the contract by 10 years due to high customer satisfaction ─ Guaranteed savings were exceeded by several percentage points ─ The project had a great role model effect. |
