1.Introduction
This deliverable specifies the user requirements for the ENCOURAGE system. High-level
requirements for the ENCOURAGE platform (both functional and non-functional) will be described
in the corresponding deliverable (D 2.2: ENCOURAGE high-level requirements specification).
Thus, this document, together with deliverable 2.2, is the reference point within the ENCOURAGE
project and they are used as input in the work packages 3 until 7.
Three different steps have been carried out within Task 2.1. First of all, several relevant groups of
stakeholders benefiting from the ENCOURAGE project have been identified and described.
Secondly, three different business case scenarios have been developed according to the needs statedby those ENCOURAGE partners related to the energy industry. Finally, user requirements and
needs have been elicited from the interaction between the defined stakeholders and the proposed
business case scenarios. Internal expertise, interviews, questionnaires, workshops and existing
documentation from the eDIANA project have also been used during the identification process of
user requirements.

2. Identification of the parties benefiting from theENCOURAGE project
The ENCOURGAGE platform is primarily targeted to enable utility companies business. The
ENCOURAGE platform is also devoted to owners of residential buildings (single-family and
multifamily buildings), owners of non-residential buildings (campuses, commercial buildings, etc.)
and energy consumers. Finally, municipalities may also use the ENCOURGAGE platform.
1.1 Utility companies
TO BE DONE BY (3-4 pages)
These stakeholders are represented in the ENCOURAGE consortium by three industrial partners,
whose core business fall into the thematic area of electricity distribution and services for electricity
market:
ENELENEL is the top electricity operator in Italy. It manages 39,874 MW of installed capacity
and produces around 81.6 TWh per year, serving over 32 million customers. Since 2006, the
Group has also become the worlds second gas seller, with 3.1 million customers. Enel
Green Power manages renewable power plants for a total capacity of 2,800 MW.
ENERGI NORDEnergi Nord is a Danish energy trading and counselling company based in Aalborg. The
primary business objective of Energi Nord is to act as the electricity distribution company
on behalf of its owners, while managing operational and customer related tasks.Geographically, Energi Nords main presence is in Northern Jutland but the company
provides services to other customers throughout Denmark. Currently Energi Nord distributes
electricity to 162,000 customers (both private households and large businesses) and this
supply equals to 1.8 TWh. Energi Nords expertise encompasses sales and billing, energy
advisory service, and customer service.
GNERAThe market operation offered by GNERA includes production measurement, forecasting and
programming, advanced management of spot markets, deviations management and
offsetting, follow-up of payment for exported electricity, monitoring system and sales

information, web front-end and training. GNERA currently manages more than 1,000 MWpower and more than 2,600 GWh Energy in 256 Plants from diversified technologies such
as biogas and biomass, CHP, small hydro power and photovoltaic; planning to reach 4,000
GWh in 2011.
By implementing the advances reached within the ENCOURAGE project, utility companies will be
able to more efficiently manage their networks as a consequence of having more up-to-date
information of energy consumption collected from consumer. They will also benefit from generally
higher responsiveness of consumers to dynamic price and demand response schemes.

1.4 Owners of buildings
TO BE DONE BY
Increasing energy costs and current economic trends have pushed the building sector to devote
greater attention to lower energy expenditures in both new-start construction projects and
refurbishment works. Trends in public opinion toward environmental issues and a more detailed
legal framework have also contributed to turn energy efficiency in buildings into a burgeoning area.
It has also been argued that the value of properties with advanced energy management systems can
be much higher than the traditional ones without such advanced characteristics (e-diana project,
XXXX).
For the sake of simplicity, ENCOURAGE will distinguish two main roles within this group ofstakeholders. Taking into account that buildings have traditionally been consumers of energy, those
who still serve to this role will be called energy consumers. Energy consumers only have
consuming devices in his building. Those buildings which have included local energy generation
equipment will be considered energy prosumers. Apart from generating energy for its own use or
to be sold to the electrical grid, energy prosumers still have energy consumption inside the building.
Building owners are the key stakeholders in the effort to make the existing private building stock
more energy efficient. They are the only ones who decide if, what and when to renovate. They are
also the ones who finance energy saving measures and the ones who pay the operational energy
costs. ENCOURAGE system will enable building owners to reduce their energy bills without
compromising the level of comfort. By enabling the monitoring of individual appliances and

subsystems, consumption can be disaggregated to is constituent functional components and also toits temporal patterns. Once buildings owners / facility managers know how and where the energy is
consumed, they have a complete picture of which are the key areas to focus on in order to achieve
the expected savings, while maintain the desired service levels of the buildings. Instead of
optimizing the energy consumption of individual appliances, the energy efficiency at system level
will be improved with the ENCOURAGE platform. Better configuration and control of the whole
system will help building owners to reduce their energy consumption. Energy brokerage will make
possible the exchange of energy not being used by a particular building.
1.4.1Owners and users in residential buildings
Residential buildings generally include single-family houses and multi-family houses. The
residential building sector may be divided into two main categories, the owner-occupied and the
rented. In the rented sector, the owner invests and the occupant profits from this investment whereas
in the owner-occupied market, the investor is also the one who profits from the investment because
the building owner is also the final user.
1.4.2Owners and users in non-residential buildings
The ownership structure for the non-residential buildings has not been well-documented. In general,
governments and municipalities own the majority of the non-residential buildings, especially in caseof educational buildings, health care buildings, etc. In case of shopping and leisure buildings, office
buildings, owners are often corporate or private investors.
In general, non-residential buildings are open to an undetermined amount of people. Although
individual users may change over the time, it can be assumed that user behaviour is quite stable and
thus, buildings energy consumption patterns are only dependant on collective user behaviour
changes.
Results from the ENCOURAGE project will enable to show individualised real time data. This will
obviously help in raising awareness in users of large and complex non-residential buildings
(educational buildings, health care buildings, shopping and leisure buildings, office buildings, etc.).
Trials with smart meter show that only providing information to consumers on their actual energyconsumption can lead to reduction of up to 10% (ESMA, 2008). Decision support technologies and
intuitive user interface will help to motivate people to change their behaviour. If consumers can
understand where inefficiencies come from, they can act to mitigate or eliminate them completely.
1.5 Municipalities
TO BE DONE BY
ENCOURAGE project will support inter-building energy exchange. An energy efficient
neighbourhood and, subsequently, an energy efficient municipality would be built upon the
ENCOURAGE project results. Multiple players and a variety of stakeholders geographically

distributed but interconnected add value to their businesses and substantially contribute to energyefficiency. Research and development within the ENCOURAGE PROJECT is seen as a cornerstone
in contributing to sustainable growth and development in an energy efficient environment.
1.6 Construction companies
TO BE DONE BY
Construction companies are the key stakeholders in the effort to make the future building stock
more energy efficient. They have a great role in moving beyond the current legal framework as
they decide the scope of the energy efficient strategies to be implemented in new buildings. They
are also the ones who have to initially finance these measures.
Results from the ENCOURAGE project will enable construction companies will be able to achieve
better energy efficiency in buildings by easier networking of various control components, and
smoother integration of generation and storage devices with the typical building infrastructure.
