Energy eciency
Projectreport
Project Report, N3 July 2008 page 2
In 2005 European households used 69 % o their
energy to heat rooms. Fourteen percent was
used to heat water, and about 17 % went on
lighting, cooking and other electrical appliances.
While the percentage used or ambient heating
has decreased over the last 20 years, the share
o energy consumed by electric appliances is
projected to grow rom 15 % in 2000 to 27 %
in 2030. Across the 27 EU countries, household
electricity consumption is around 29 % o total
electricity consumption.
Considerable eort has gone into reducing
energy consumption by appliances, but changes
in liestyle have oset a large part o this. In the
tertiary sector, oce equipment is responsible or
up to 40 % o the electricity consumed in every
building. This sector, which includes outdoor
lighting, is growing as is its demand or energy.
To support the integration o energy eciency
measures into national legislation, the European
Commission has proposed several directives which
have been adopted and are now in orce. These
cover broad areas where there is signicant energy
saving potential or equipment and products, in
particular the Directive on Eco-design Requirements
or Energy-using Products, the Directive on the
Energy Labelling o Domestic Appliances and the
Regulation on the Energy Eciency Labelling
Programme or Oce Equipment.
Key IEE measures or energy-ecient products
The Intelligent Energy-Europe programme
supports action aimed at overcoming non-
technological market barriers or energy-
ecient products in the residential and tertiary
sectors. This means using the best technologies
or consuming less energy, while guaranteeing or
even improving end-user comort levels.
Targets should be reached using inormation
campaigns, awards, benchmarking, voluntary
agreements, exhibitions, training, and by
promoting best practices so that the market
share o energy-ecient products goes up and
less ecient products are gradually phased out.
The programme aims to enorce the application and
enhance the awareness o EU labels and minimum
energy eciency standards, as well as suggesting
lie cycle approaches so that products are designed,
manuactured, purchased, installed, used and
disposed o in the most energy-intelligent way.
Twenty-two ongoing projects or energy-ecient
products
Energy-ecient products were the subject o
three calls or proposals under the auspices othe Intelligent Energy Europe I Programme
between 2003 and 2006.
Fiteen projects started early in 2006, our in
early 2007 and another three late in 2007. The
projects run rom 28 to 36 months, with our to
18 partners. With the exception o Luxembourg,
all EU-27 countries plus Norway are represented.
Most o the projects address more than one o
the key priorities, with a ocus on Technology
procurement, buyer initiatives and otherapproaches or accelerating the transormation
o the market (17 projects).

Project Report, N3 July 2008 page 3
Seven projects cover Enorcing the application
and enhancing the awareness o EU labels and
minimum energy eciency standards while 12
ocus on Monitoring market transormation and
preparing the ground or new policy initiatives.
The 22 ongoing IEE projects take in a wide range o
products, technologies and markets. They should
help prepare the ground or individual energy-
ecient products in markets such as residential
lighting, oce and street lighting, IT servers,
boilers, air conditioners, motor systems, pumps,
circulators, elevators, escalators, distribution
transormers and construction products.
At the same time there are broader awareness-
raising projects aimed at promoting successul
programmes in the new Member States
(GreenLight, Motor Challenge Programme,
CEECAP). Other such projects include the
TOPTEN webpage on energy-ecient residential
appliances; energy-ecient public procurement;
residential and tertiary databases and monitoring
activities on energy-ecient appliances; and
a European Smart Metering Alliance or the
residential sector.
The ongoing projects are complemented by three
important IEE events. Two took place in 2006:
the 4th International Conerence on Energy
Eciency in Domestic Appliances and Lighting
in London (EEDAL06) and the Buy Bright Event
in Brussels, promoting public procurement or
energy-ecient lighting. The third, the EnergyForum Eastwestphalia-Lippe, which will ocus on
promoting product energy eciency in the light
o the Directive on Energy End-use Eciency
and Energy Services, will take place in northern
Germany in November 2008.
Expected results
While IEE projects on energy-ecient products
are not yet complete, they have already resulted
in concrete action. Brochures, guidelines,
training/communication/press kits, articles and
web tools are currently under design to increase
awareness.
Early successes include the GreenLight award; a
quality charter or energy saving lamps; the signing
up o new Motor Challenge and GreenLight
partners and endorsers; the certication o boiler
installations; the setting o benchmarks or IT
servers; the development o voluntary agreements
or distribution transormers; voluntary labels
or construction products and drat standards
or street lighting; and the Eco nHome website,
which can be used or adding up kWh and CO2
emission savings ollowing home audits.
The TOPTEN website has seen more than 50 000
monthly hits, while another project has helped
spread public procurement guidelines in the IT,
oce equipment, lighting, vehicles and buildings
sectors.
All projects have a website announcing events,
oering downloads and providing urther
inormation and contact details (see http://
ec.europa.eu/energy/intelligent/projects).

GreenLabelsPurchaseGreenLabelsPurchase
Duration: 1/20066/2008
ObjectivesThis project aims to increase the use o energy labels in the procurement processes o public authorities,
the tertiary sector, industry and SMEs. It hopes to develop standardised tools to support greener
procurement procedures, to identiy the main barriers to their introduction and to overcome them.
Target areas include IT products, household appliances, lights, vehicles, building components and green
power. Both international and national steering committees will be set up, while results will be reported
using internet portals, press releases, articles, presentations, workshops and conerences.
Results> Guidelines, perormance sheets and calculation tools have been made available
to purchasers rom the public and private sector in the nine participating countries.
A good practice database with success stories rom all over Europe is being compiled.
Several thousand purchasers have been consulted about what it takes to save energy
through intelligent procurement. Energy consultants have been trained in applying
the GreenLabelsPurchase standard.
> Public authorities and private companies have begun applying green procurement
measures using GreenLabelsPurchase criteria. Pilot projects range rom a small Graduate
School in Riga, Latvia, which bought 14 computer monitors, to the German bank KW,
which switched the power supply o all its premises to 100 % green power. By the end
o the project, between 40 and 50 pilots will have taken place.
> Recommendations and purchasing criteria were rened in collaboration with national
steering committees, which brought together ministries and national institutions orpublic procurement. This ensured GreenLabelsPurchase criteria were implemented
on a national level, or example in the context o the EU Directive on Energy Services.
> In spite o reluctance to change proven procurement policies in public administrations
and private companies, several institutions have been convinced o the need to adopt
minimum standards on energy eciency. One example is the City o Berlin,
which adopted very strict CO2
emission standards or the buying and leasing
o cars or all o its public institutions.

Strategies or developmentand diusion o Energy-EcientDistribution Transormers
SEEDTDuration: 1/20066/2008
ObjectivesThe aim o SEEDT is to promote the use o energy-ecient distribution transormers (DTs). Potential
annual electricity savings in Europe rom DTs are estimated to be around 22 TWh as ar as utilities are
concerned (which is the equivalent o nine million tonnes o CO2) and 5 TWh in industry and the tertiary
sector. Together this is equivalent to the output o the EUs three largest coal-red electricity plants,
or the consumption o 5.1 million homes. Strategies or achieving these savings will include labelling,
standards, and voluntary agreements. Manuacturers, utility companies, industries, and buildings
managers will be targeted with inormation campaigns.
Results> Round table discussions have been organised in six countries and attended
by policy-makers, electricity utilities, energy producers and transormer manuacturers.
International workshops were organised in Paris and Prague. The goals o SEEDT have
been promoted at energy conerences in our countries. Four biannual newsletters
have been produced.
> A web-based tool has been developed or the calculation o energy loss in distribution
transormers and the comparison o dierent transormers, taking into account both
nancial and environmental parameters.
> Three models or energy labelling o DTs have been developed, as well as another or
calculating the energy saving potential and CO2
emission reductions under dierent policy
scenarios. Measures or the gradual replacement o the existing DTs have been proposed.
> Project managers have suggested regulatory changes in EU countries and the introduction
o a mandatory minimum eciency standard.
> A technical guide has been distributed giving advice to DT users on how to choose them.
It contains tools or the analysis o the additional production cost as well as the economic
benets resulting rom energy savings.

Bottom up to KyotoButK
Duration: 1/200712/2009
ObjectivesTo reduce CO
2emissions, more use o energy-ecient lighting products must be made. Several obstacles
prevent this rom happening, such as the higher purchase price or a lack o understanding o the long-
term benets. Using ve municipalities as examples, ButK aims to help overcome barriers to switching to
energy-ecient lighting technologies and to provide tender specications and procurement standards to
other municipalities, thereby helping Europe meet its Kyoto targets. Each municipality will be provided
with a tailor-made energy-ecient lighting strategy which can serve as a model.
Results> Bottom up to Kyoto has carried out technical and economic easibility studies using
lighting data rom the ve municipalities. Estimates o the potential savings rom
switching to ecient lighting systems have been made. The necessary investments
have also been calculated.
> The potential savings identied are: 11 500 annually or the 6 000 inhabitants
o Raciechowice, Poland; 218 000 or 60 schools in Riga, Latvia; 39 000 a year
or the 15 000 inhabitants o Voru, Estonia; up to 97 000 or the town o Slovenska
Bistrica in Slovenia; and 35 000 in Dej, Romania.
> A study o CO2
emissions attributable to the lighting sector has ound that emissions
vary greatly according to the type o uel used.

How to reduce energyconsumption in householdsEco nHome
Duration: 1/200612/2008
ObjectivesImproving the energy eciency o buildings, which consume 40 % o energy in Europe, will reduce
CO2
emissions and contribute to compliance with the Kyoto protocol. Eco nHome explores innovative
approaches to reducing the energy consumption o households by identiying possible improvements in
their day-to-day energy use. The main result should be the home energy diagnosis a tool to reduce
domestic energy consumption. Based on a common methodology, this tool should be transerable
to users across Europe. It will allow analysis o energy consumption in households and, based on the
ndings, will lead to technical and non-technical recommendations or reducing energy use in heating,
electricity and transport. This tool will be subject to testing during an 18-month period.
Results> Initial results are encouraging: we have seen household energy savings o around 17 %
per year on average, which translates into a two tonnes CO2
saving per household per year.
> Households seemed less motivated when provided with ree services and surveys
compared to paid-or services.
> The predominant motivating actor o those taking part was to save money, or example
on heating bills. Environmental awareness was low. In order to address this problem,
inormation about climate change and energy eciency should be included in project
literature. Around 20 % o the households surveyed consider that participating in such
programmes had lead to a change in their behaviour towards the environment.
> Implementing one small measure can help the householder implement subsequent,
more complicated measures. In some cases, giving the householder just one low-energy
light bulb led to the replacement o all lights with low-energy bulbs.
> The implementation o low cost measures is oten preerred to higher cost measures due
to the number o barriers. The role o the advisor is to assist householders in overcoming
these barriers, which might be psychological: or example, a ear o change or distrust
o suppliers or products. Other ears identied were nancial, such as poor incentives
or lack o resources, and cultural, such as pressure rom amily or riends.

Green Initiativeor energy-ecient eco-productsin the construction industry
GREEN-ITDuration: 1/200612/2008
ObjectivesGREEN-IT aims to introduce energy labelling in the European building construction products sector and
to accelerate moves towards regulated energy building perormance. It will help implement energy
labelling o EU manuactured and marketed building products using customised approaches adapted
to each participating countrys needs. Currently, environmental labelling is only applied in some EU
countries. A product labelling scheme will promote best practices in construction products manuacturing
as well as compliance with the EPBD. The labelling scheme consists o a sticker and an online database
providing certied energy data, both mandatory and voluntary, on products rom accredited institutions
or use by building designers, constructors, and end-users.
Results> The energy labelling scheme is now up and running. It employs a E
2Pilot sticker,
which has proved an eective promotion tool.
> Thirty-seven voluntary agreements have been signed with European industry stakeholders
covering the whole range o the building constructions products, rom insulation to bricks
and glazing.
> An online database and energy ecient construction atlas has been set up or industry,
building proessionals, policymakers and end users. It contains certied energy dataon building construction products.
> A report on the infuence o EU construction products based on an energy benchmarking
procedure has been completed.

Technology procurementor very energy-ecientcirculation pumps
Energy+ PumpsDuration: 1/200612/2008
ObjectivesCirculators in single or double amily homes and fats are responsible or about 2 % to 3 % o the overall
electricity consumption in the EU. New pump technology with electronically commutated (EC) motor
pumps is now available. Using it can lead to a reduction in circulator electricity use o 60 % or more. I
these energy-ecient pump technologies became standard or circulators, they would save about 1 %
o all EU electricity consumption, which is around 25 TWh a year, and reduce CO2
emissions by 10 million
tonnes per year. This project will adapt and apply technology procurement methodology. Large buyers,
mainly social housing companies, will be brought together to encourage pump and boiler manuacturers
to react. Sales and training materials will be developed. A competition or both the best energy-ecient
products and the best marketing campaigns will be organised.
Results> Three circulators rom Grundos and Wil won Energy+ awards at the Mostra Convegno
air in Milan ater having achieved production using 50 % less electricity than is required
to achieve the class A category under the Europump energy label. A condensing boiler
by Solvis which uses the circulator also received an award, as did a promotion campaign
by the City o Salzburg.
> Lists o qualiying Energy+ circulators have been published three times, with more than
20 products o three dierent sizes on the latest list. Condensing boilers meeting project
criteria are expected to be published in autumn o 2008.
> Lists o institutional buyers and o supporters now include 70 organisations. The Flemish
authorities in Belgium have used Energy+ criteria or electricity network company
programmes in order to stimulate the purchase o ecient circulators. The project
has also triggered regional and local promotion programmes in Austria and Germany.
> Pump manuacturers have shown themselves to be willing to cooperate.
Boiler manuacturers and installation contractors are key actors or market success, since
they normally choose the circulator (not the buyers). Electricity savings o 100 GWh per
year would be achieved i the highly ecient circulators reached a market share o 5 %.
The projects ultimate goal is to make high eciency circulating pumps standard.

Development o the marketor energy-ecient serversE-Server
Duration: 1/20074/2009
ObjectivesServers and the technical inrastructure contribute to the energy consumption and the operating costs
o IT equipment in private an public services. Energy costs or the operation o servers are expected to
exceed the costs o server hardware by 2015. Ecient server hardware and sotware generate reductions
in energy consumption and operating costs or both the IT-system itsel and the cooling apparatus.
Depending on the application, savings o between 20 % and 70 % can be achieved. E-Server aims to
stimulate the market or energy ecient servers by demonstrating energy saving potential and to
remove market barriers on the demand side by acilitating procurement.
Results> A study on energy saving potential has shown that servers use up to 1.5 % o total
European electricity consumption. This is the equivalent o around 40 TWh or an annual
energy cost o about 4.8 billion. The study predicts that server electricity demand
will double between 2006 and 2011 unless counteracting measures are implemented.
> Moderate measures supporting server energy eciency could help to reduce the energy
demand signicantly, it has been shown. Annual energy consumption in data centres
could be reduced by about 25 % by 2011 compared to a business-as-usual scenario.
More aggressive measures would lead to annual energy savings o 50 % to 60 %
and cost savings o up to 5.5 billion.
> Companies rom both the private and public sector, both small and large,took part in a survey designed to identiy barriers holding back greater use o ecient
server technology. Barriers identied included a lack o awareness among experts; missing
declarations on energy eciency or a lack o labelling o server hardware;
and structural problems: oten experts responsible or the procurement o equipment
are not responsible or inrastructure and energy costs.
> A guidebook or procurement and management o energy ecient servers is under
development.

Raising the Eciencyo Boiler InstallationsBOILEFF
Duration: 2/20079/2009
ObjectivesInstalled boilers do not operate as eciently as they could. While test cases demonstrate that boilers
could achieve high eciencies, their real perormance is much lower. Starting rom the observation
that many boiler installations suer rom serious shortcomings, this project aims to assess two market
approaches or improving boiler eciency. The rst market approach is called quality line. It will build
on a checklist o quality criteria or boiler installations, which should orm part o contracts with nal
customers. The second approach is perormance line. It centres on installer guarantees. They should
pledge to achieve a certain boiler eciency perormance.
Results> Audits o 75 heating systems have reveal major weaknesses in boiler installations
(including the generation unit, heat distribution system, heat emitters and the space
heating control system).
> The development o a denition o high quality installations is helping overcome typical
installation ailures and is expected to result in eciency improvements o between
5 % and 10 %.
> Installers are now introducing perormance quality guarantees,
helping to raise condence in boiler replacements and stimulate markets.
> Up to 100 pilot projects have been planned or the next heating season to test the impact
o both the quality line and perormance line approaches. BOILEFF hopes to achieve
energy savings o around 155 GWh in the ve participating countries.

ObjectivesThe aim o this project is to promote eco-ecient cold and lighting products in the household and
tertiary sectors in six countries using promoter initiatives and consumer projects aimed at residents,
tenants and shops. It will involve an analysis o both EU and national projects with similar objectives at
conerences and workshops.
Results> More than 320 key actors, including national and local energy agencies,
have been brought together in various orums to exchange experiences about ecient
cold and lighting products in the residential and tertiary sectors.
> Twenty promoter initiatives are underway, involving manuacturers o lighting
and cold products, retailers and commercial buildings, university departments, energy
eciency advice centres, national energy agencies and social buildings. Fiteen consumer
projects ocusing on resident associations, local government, architects, consumer
organisations, and owners associations are also underway.

Monitoring Electricityconsumption in the Tertiary sectorEL-TERTIARY
Duration: 1/20066/2008
ObjectivesThe objective o this project is to promote more ecient use o electricity in the tertiary sector. It will
provide detailed and reliable know-how on dierent types o electricity consumption such as lighting,
oce equipment, ventilation and air conditioning. A harmonised methodology or electricity metering,
survey and analysis will be developed or more than 100 tertiary buildings in 12 European countries.
Existing studies and data on electricity consumption will be reviewed and brought together in a
database. The results will be made available or all interested experts and the public.
Results> Large dierences between participating countries have been seen with regard
to electricity consumption, underlining the technology gap between the old
and the new EU countries.
> In most cases the use o energy bills in combination with on-site visits proved
an eective way o evaluating energy consumption and identiying potential savings.
The use o long-term monitoring proved dicult in most cases as it requires continuous
contact with acility managers and building owners.
> Almost all auditors ound potential savings in the lighting area. Most requently a lamp
replacement was recommended. Motion control systems should also be installed, at least
in rooms which are not used oten.
> In almost all cases where buildings had air conditioning, potential savings were ound.
A variety o measures was recommended: external protection o rooms rom overheating;
lower an speed; more use o resh air; better equipment control; switching o at night;
the replacement o old equipment; insulation o pipes; heat recovery; and behavioural
measures such as closing windows and doors.

European Ecient ResidentialLighting InitiativeEnERLIn
Duration: 1/200612/2008
ObjectivesThis project aims to increase residential lighting eciency in a number o Member States and candidate
countries by increasing the penetration o Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) in the residential sector.
Energy savings rom greater use o CFLs can be as high as 11 TWh a year, the equivalent o 1.2 million
tonnes o greenhouse gases. The main target groups are: national energy agencies; energy utilities;
lighting manuacturers; consumer deence associations; consumers; lamp and luminary retailers;
policymakers; architects and civil engineers. Among the project results should be the creation o new
European CFL-Quality Charter, the design o attractive CFL promotional campaigns, the creation o CFL
quality criteria and comprehensive databases.
Results> Globally, more than 700 000 leafets, posters and booklets promoting compact
fuorescent lamps have been printed and distributed by the EnERLIn partners in
participating countries.
> Project leaders have reported between 2 000 and 3 000 web page visits per month
by people looking or good practice examples or CFLs. In the year to March 2008 more
than 20 000 visits were recorded.
> More than 500 young people at schools and colleges in six countries have been taught
about energy-ecient lighting issues.
> More than 50 000 questionnaires have been sent to CFL end-users in various countries.
The return rate has been high.
> Three e-learning modules on energy-ecient lighting are now available in English
and French.
> More than 1 000 people have participated to conerences and round table discussions.
The proceedings are available on the web page and have been downloaded more than
6 000 times.

European Smart Metering AllianceESMA
Duration: 12/200611/2009
ObjectivesESMA will dene and spread best practice in smart metering across EU Member States and maximise the
resulting energy savings. The project will produce a series o reports on key aspects o smart metering
which will eed into a best practice guide. In addition, an alliance will be established linking all key
stakeholders, giving them a orum to deal with issues arising rom the introduction o smart metering.
Smart metering covers a variety o unctions made possible by electronic meters and communications
networks. They provide benets to utilities through better operation and reduced costs. They also make
it possible or customers to get more inormation about their energy usage. Trials have shown that this
can reduce consumption.
Results> The European Smart Metering Alliance has been set up. It already has over 80 members
drawn rom a wide range o stakeholder groups including vendors, regulators,
government bodies, consumer bodies, academics and energy agencies. The Alliance,
which held its rst meeting in Warsaw in January 2008, also now has a website
(http://www.esma-home.eu) providing inormation to the public on smart metering.
> The project team has produced a number o reports on the current status o smart
metering, including an assessment o expected energy savings as the result o energy
usage eedback. The reports are aimed at regulators charged with implementing
the metering and billing aspects o the Energy End-Use Eciency and ESCO Directive.
> A smart metering best practice guide is being published or use by utilities, regulators
and other stakeholders involved in designing, implementing and approving smartmetering schemes. An annual report on progress in the eld, aimed at the industry,
governments and European Commission, is also in the pipeline.
> Interest in smart metering is high throughout the EU. Utility companies get numerous
benets rom smart metering, whereas government interest is driven by sustainability,
consumer benets and market liberalisation. However, the wide range o benets
complicates the implementation o smart metering and there is a risk sustainability
benets could be compromised. The ESMA team is working to ensure that this does not
happen. Customers respond better to real time eedback on their energy use,
but this eedback is not a eature o all proposed smart metering schemes.

Energy-Ecient Elevatorsand EscalatorsE4
Duration: 10/20074/2010
ObjectivesMore than a third o all EU energy consumption is in the tertiary and residential sectors, mostly in
buildings. As comort requirements have grown, energy consumption in buildings has experienced
a signicant increase and is now one o the leading reasons or CO2
emission growth. New energy-
ecient equipment and behavioural changes can give rise to substantial savings in these sectors. This
project targets elevators and escalators in the tertiary sector and in multi-amily residential buildings.
Elevators and escalators make living and working several foors o above ground practical. The project
will promote the ecient use o electricity through the application o the best available technologies.
Recommendations and procurement guidelines will be produced.
Expected Results> The project will ll the inormation gap on elevator electricity consumption in Europe
by collecting inormation via surveys rom manuacturers, building owners and elevators
associations.
> The penetration o energy-ecient elevator technologies is expected to improve in public
administrations, hospitals, hotels, shopping centres and both private and public oces.
> Electricity consumption in the tertiary sector in the EU-25 is oreseen to grow to 950 TWh
by 2020. Elevators and escalators now represent 4 % o all electricity consumption
in the tertiary sector. This share is expected to grow. Given potential savings o over 50 %,
E4 should lead to electricity savings o 20-25 TWh, which translates into a reductiono between 9 million tonnes and 11 million tonnes o CO
2emissions.

Public Procurement boostsEnergy EciencyPRO-EE
Duration: 11/200710/2010
ObjectivesPRO-EE will bring together public authorities to boost energy eciency via networking and innovative
procurement, in six EU countries. It will ocus on oce equipment, electric street equipment and uel-
ecient vehicles. Regional sub-networks, assisted by national expert organisations, will be established.
At stakeholder roundtables, administrations will meet with providers to work on procurement criteria.
PRO-EE will provide recommendations, based on practical experience, on how to integrate procurement
strategies into public authority policy. As a pilot programme, ve local authorities will develop integrated
energy eciency plans and promotional activities. These will then be extended to other buyers. A nal
project conerence and seven national training workshops will be held.

Motor Challenge Programme Energy-Ecient Electric Motorsystems in new Member
and Candidate Countries4EM-MCP
Duration: 1/200612/2008
ObjectivesThe Motor Challenge Programme (MCP) proved to be a powerul tool or promoting energy eciency.
It encouraged energy saving by ocusing on the perormance o entire motor systems. It made use o
proactive companies via the MCP logo. The 4EM-MCP project ollows up on MCP by applying these tools
to the new EU Member States and candidate countries while adapting them to their specic economic,technological, social and geographical conditions. The overall aim is to build capacity and raise awareness
about energy eciency among policymakers and industry.
Results> Project partners have participated to 15 seminars, 8 airs, 12 conerences
and have organised 16 workshops and training seminars.
> Twenty-two company energy audits have been perormed.
> Five partners and six endorsers have been recruited, although this has been dicult.
> Generally enterprises are not convinced that the replacement o the old electric motor
systems with new ones should be their priority energy eciency measure. They preer
to implement other measures which have a shorter payback period and are closely
connected to their technological production line.
> Surveys distributed during events and through mailing shots aiming to gather inormation
rom stakeholders on the market penetration o energy ecient motors have proven
ineective. Feedback has been limited. The only eective way to obtain this inormation
is to have questionnaires lled in and submitted during one-to-one interviews.

Boiler InormationSystem on EciencyBISON
Duration: 11/20074/2010
ObjectivesThe perormance o domestic central heating boilers is to a great extent linked to their installation
conditions. They are generally sold via installers. For this reason, consumer inormation on these boilers
cannot be treated in the same way as appliances such as cookers or reezers. This project aims to set
up an inormation system based on calculations o annual eciency gains, taking into account the
interaction o the boiler with the installation and the building. It will be made available to consumers,
installers, energy consultants, architects and designers. Even under modest projections, potential energy
savings are substantial.
Results> A database ormat has been dened, as has been a rst version o the user interace.

EURO-TOPTENTOPTEN
Duration: 1/200610/2008
ObjectivesThousands o rerigerators, TVs, cars and other kinds o energy-consuming equipment are available on
the market. Consumers cannot compare and chose judiciously: no inormation available, theres no time,
its too dicult
But thanks to the TOPTEN websites, consumers will be able to nd the best products by a simply clicking
a mouse. TOPTEN websites are to be created, each providing a selection o the best appliances rom an
energy point o view. The inormation targets consumers using photos, describing unctions, availability,
and listing prices. No complex calculations are involved. The sites are neutral in that there is no infuence
rom manuacturers. They are rigorous and transparent: the selection methodology is explained online.
The websites are to be promoted via the media. High trac will in turn give us strength to talk with
manuacturers at a European level, setting ambitious criteria or product selection and advising largebuyers in the public procurement eld, as well as and policymakers, on ecient products. The project
teams comprise energy specialists, environmental NGOs and consumer associations.
Results> By April 2008, 14 TOPTEN websites were online, listing hundreds o products in more than 50
categories (household appliances, oce equipment, consumer electronics, lighting and cars).
> This work is supported by the portal http://www.topten.ino, which has been promoted
through articles in print media, radio and TV, press releases, and airs. In 2007 there
were more than 50 000 visitors per month in average.
> More than 50 partnerships have been developed with retailers and large-scale buyers
notably public procurers.
> In September 2008, the results o a competition or the best promotion campaign on
energy-ecient TOPTEN products will be announced at the EURO-TOPTEN exhibition.

Implementing EU Appliance Policyin Central and Eastern EuropeCEECAP
Duration: 1/20066/2008
ObjectivesThe CEECAP project aims to help create suitable conditions or labelling appliances and putting EU
energy eciency policies into action in central and eastern European countries. It hopes to increase
expertise on verication, enorcement and market introduction, and to strengthen relationships
between stakeholders, thereby helping kick-start national action on energy eciency. The project
targets national experts and decision-makers.
Results> Training manuals have been prepared or government ocials, retailers
and manuacturers containing guidelines on the labelling o domestic appliances.
> A summary has been completed on Member State implementation o the National
Verication and Enorcement Plan and the National Market Introduction Plan.
> National contact groups have been organised. Workshops and individual consultations
have taken place. CEECAP project managers have attended seminars and conerences.
> Energy labelling does not depend on the geographical location o the EU Member State,
project managers have discovered. The presence o labels in shops and the degree o state
control are not necessarily lower in the new EU Member States than in many o the older
states. On the other hand, in many o the participating countries there is a very low level
o ocial appliance tests.

Monitoring and control o energyconsumption in municipal publicbuildings over the Internet
ENERinTOWNDuration: 1/20066/2008
ObjectivesYou cannot save what you cannot measure. For this reason, this project will enable energy managers
to know how much energy their municipalities use. Continuous remote monitoring o electricity and
natural gas consumption in 100 public buildings run by the selected municipal authorities will take
place. Project managers will create a tool or gathering inormation supplied by measuring equipment
over the Internet. This inormation will be used to generate consumption graphs and comparisons
between buildings, municipalities and regions. Project managers hope to encourage the creation o
the gure o the municipal or regional energy manager as the ocer with maximum responsibility or
monitoring energy demand in public buildings. Low cost awareness-enhancing measures will aim to
correct deviations in consumption. Local managers will be given guidance on how to acquire equipment
and design properties using criteria based on energy eciency and renewable resource use.
Results> With low or zero-cost measures, energy savings o up to 40 % have been achieved.
> Between 15 and 20 municipalities have become involved in the energy manager network.
> Around 100 people, representing municipalities and engineering consultants, participated
in seminars in Basque country.
> The municipal guide to procuring equipment has been completed and distributed
throughout Europe.

REMODECEDuration: 1/20069/2008
ObjectivesThis project aims to understand how households use dierent types o electric equipment in 12 countries.
It evaluates how much electricity could be saved by means currently available, such as moving to more
ecient appliances or reducing standby consumption. This inormation should help the development o
more energy-ecient equipment in the years to come.
Results> Updated European database on residential consumption, including central
and eastern European countries.
> Methodologies to combine the use o selective monitoring with wider-scale surveying.
> A sotware tool or evaluating energy perormance in households.
> A set o policy recommendations or dierent types o equipment.

The European GreenLightProgramme in New Member StatesNew GreenLight
Duration: 1/200612/2008
ObjectivesNew GreenLight extends the GreenLight project, launched in 2000, to the new EU Member States.
Under GreenLight, private and public organisations committed themselves to reducing energy use or
lighting. New GreenLight wants to attract at least 101 new partners prepared to make the same kind o
commitment and achieve energy savings o more than 18 GWh per year. It will spread GreenLight know-
how to the new Member States.
Results> Partners who have been awarded the Greenlight Logo have together made energy
savings o 42.3 GWh, much more than the 18 GWh initial estimate.
> Attendance at conerences and seminars has exceeded expectations.
Over 290 people have attended seminars while more than 1 100 have attended
conerences (500 % more than expected).
> Up to 15 new GreenLight partners and nine new endorsers have joined the programme
in each participating country.
> Promotional material has been produced in eight new languages.

Energy-ecient products
Consume greenThe energy we use on electric appliances is increasing. Even when new energy-ecient devices are
introduced, savings are oten oset by changes in our liestyle and the never-ending quest or household
comort. Renewed ocus on electric appliances is thereore key i we are to meet our climate change
goals.
Projects supported within the Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) programme look to overcoming market
barriers or energy-ecient products in the residential and tertiary sectors. This means using the best
technologies or consuming less energy, while guaranteeing or even improving comort levels. Proven
success stories are being adapted to the new European Union Member States.
This brochure outlines the 22 projects now underway and details concrete results that have already been
achieved in elds as diverse as computer servers, lighting, and household boilers.
