GENERAL INFORMATION

Initial Situation

      ─ Baseline (2009): 882,714 €/a

      ─ Administration has no staff capacities to undertake adequate (technical) support / energy management of the buildings

      No constant consumption control / monitoring as well as no professional revision of the incoming invoices of utilities

      ─ Existing saving potentials, particularly a possible optimization of operations

      ─ Classical EPC is not suitable:

  • Too low project volume (energy costs)
  • Buildings without long-term perspective of constant use
  • No investment requirements (e. g. new buildings or modernized objects)
  • To reduce energy consumption by mid-2012 in schools and administration buildings.Goals of building owner

IMPLEMENTED VIA AND

MEASURES IMPLEMENTED

EPC
TYPE OF MEASURES

      ─ Energy management: reducing energy consumption and energy costs through external know-how;

      ─ System optimization and continuous monitoring;

      ─ Extension of existing savings potential (without investment); Guaranteed energy savings contract.

CONTRACT DURATION 2 YEARS
INVESTMENT VOLUME 1.184.075 €
ENERGY COSTS 2012 (BASELINE) 882.714 €/Y
GUARANTEED SAVINGS IN EURO 90.037 €/Y
GUARANTEED SAVINGS IN % 10.2%
SHARE / PAYMENT TO ESCO 5 % = 44.118
SHARE CLIENT 5.20 % = 45.919 €/A
REDUCTION OF CO2-EMISSIONS > 3.000 T/Y
SERVICES OF THE ESCO

      ─ Inventory of the technical equipment of the buildings (if necessary)

      ─ Active optimisation of heating, (ventilation and cooling) by building control systems including documentation

      ─ Analysis of consumption, monitoring of meters

      ─ Control of the invoices of supply companies

      ─ Energy reporting every 6 months

      ─ Weak-point analysis / recommendation for investments in energy efficiency

      ─ Optional: additional concept for user motivation

INNOVATIONS AND CLIENT’S ADVANTAGES

      ─ In comparison with the conventional EPC, in “EPC light” there is usually no need for large investments;

      ─ The energy is saved by maintaining a certain level of consumption. Since there is no need to refinance the investment, the contract period is only for two or three years;

      ─ The client may use a portion of the savings to fund additional educational trainings on energy conservation;

      ─ “EPC light” is a first step in the external energy management.
