Energy eciency

Projectreport


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).

Introduction


5/32

Energy eciency


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.

Duration: 1/200612/2008

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 o results in both the rerigerator and lighting markets have led to estimated

energy savings o 2 000 MWh, which is more than 3 350 tonnes o CO2

emissions.

> Two technical guidebooks have been produced and translated into the languages

o the participating countries, as well as brochures, posters and stickers.

> Trials involving the promotion o ree ecient lamps, such as halogens,

have stimulated interest.

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.

Budget: 1 870 950 (EU contribution: 48.53 %)

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.

Results> Project has only recently started.

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.

> Interviews have begun with a view to assessing the requirement or market surveys.

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.

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.
