Buildings’ energy efficiency Common MED challenge: Buildings’ energy efficiency

MED: old buildings…

MED: old buildings…

Energy efficiency in Med: La Liga #not … Z

Energy demand projection Negajoules! World Energy Council

Why Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings? Improve well-being of personnel Reduce costs for public administrations Contribute to decarbonisation and climate protection Setting examples: Public Buildings (administrative offices, schools, hospitals) are highly visible < 5%

Point of departure – Covenant of Mayors 5,869 Action Plans – submitted 4,619 Action Plans – accepted 1,419 Monitoring Reports Implementation of SEAPs lagging behind …

Slow SEAPs implementation: some reasons Lack of political will and of technical know-how as to the potentials of energy efficiency Lack of knowledge as to innovative financial strategies Lack of a multi-sectorial integrated approach and a scarce involvement of the private sector Project design does not meet criteria of private partners (Financial Institutes, Insurances, ESCOs) in terms of reliability of data, volume of the measure, solidity of analysis.

ENERJ: what is it about?

What have we been doing until now? Interaction with the stakeholders through local events The interaction with the stakeholders (public administrations, ESCOs, enterprises in the building sector, experts, etc.) is a vital part of ENERJ. In a first round of local meetings the partners are informing their stakeholders about ENERJ, but above all are collecting their feed-back on planned projects, possible joint actions, barriers and obstacles, but also opportunities.

What have we been doing until now? Preparation of methodology to retrieve data Partners are preparing or procuring already the call for energy audits or collecting information from existing energy audit

Next steps.. Implementation of energy audits In approx. 100 buildings Development of the Web based plaform To draw the Joint Actions

Next steps.. Development of joint Actions Such as common procurement, common tenders, common assessment tools, etc Training of relevant staff on Joint Actions Such as decision makers, technical staff, financial institutes, ESCO’s, public and private companies

Next steps.. Cooperate with other projects and initiatives Learn from others and teach others Exchange experiences and know how Develop synergies Expand to complimentary fields
