Energy Innovation – Why bother?Austerity
Mainstream funding = requires “invest to save” business cases
Carbon Reduction targets remain
Working collaboratively to solve unanswered questions
Engaging with local academia, R&D and entrepreneurship
Councils can offer:• A host of problems to be solved• Large estates to enable prototyping and demonstration• Market exposure and promotion• Strict compliance frameworks!

EU FP7 PERFORMERPortable, Exhaustive, reliable, Flexible and Optimized appRoach to Monitoring and Evaluation of building eneRgy performance
• Understand why building actual energy performance is different to building predicted energy performance
• Look to reduce this gap by better management of the buildings HVAC systems through ICT controls

Outcomes• 9 live projects• £2.2m external funding and 30 partners• 9 first-of-a-kind technologies/processes being
demonstrated in Cardiff’s estate
• Progress in austerity• Carbon reduction and energy savings• Economic development and SME support

But…
• Dependent on external funding• Fiercely competitive• Opportunistic• Difficulty to be strategic• LA’s not “on the circuit”• Funding rules sometimes prohibitive• EU funding future

Next Steps:• A more strategic approach?
• A network of potential collaborators?
• Broad target areas:• Heat• System integration• Smart energy management• Smart cities
• Moving from demonstration to market (the “valley of death”)?
• Keeping the conversation live?
