MED Strategic Project MARIE (Mediterranean Building Rethinking for Energy Efficiency Improvement) GRASP Synergies Meeting Piraeus - Greece, 12 March 2015 Presented by: Anastasios Sidiropoulos - Director of Programmes Department – Regional Development Agency of Western Macedonia

The MARIE Project – Basic Data Project Acronym: MARIE  “MediterrΑnean Building Rethinking for Energy Efficiency Improvement” “to promote the principles of energy efficiency in buildings implementation” A Strategic Project of the 2007 ‐ 2013 MED Programme Project Start: April 2011 Project End: December 2014 MARIE Project Web-site: MARIE Platform:

MARIE Project Partners 23 Partners from 9 European countries from the MED area (Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Slovenia, Greece, Malta, Cyprus, Montenegro) Lead Partner: Government of Catalonia, Department of Territory and Sustainability a population of ~ 30 millions of inhabitants

Why a MED Project in Energy Efficiency? The achievement of EU2020 energy efficiency objectives in EU Med countries will depend on the strategic investments in Med space of European funds The energy consumption trend in MED regions buildings is higher than the EU average and against the EU2020 targets Considering the difficulties for MED countries to reach in 2020 the EU objectives, the 23 MARIE partners have agreed to work together in developing the Mediterranean Building Energy Efficiency Improvement Strategy (MEDBEES) in order to intensify, motivate and facilitate the public and private efforts to that direction

1) The MARIE Zone building stock is large: > 10 million buildings and > 30 million homes 2) The building stock is ancient & energy inefficient: majority of buildings constructed before 1980, without insulation, and prior to inclusion of effective energy efficiency criteria in building regulations 3) In residential buildings, final energy consumption varies from 90 kWh/m² to 150 kWh/m² (useful area) and space heating is always the most significant energy requirement varying from 40% to 65% of total consumption Conclusions From Data Compiled So Far (1)

4) % of the people living in Med regions spend more for heating than for rent! 5) The current energy efficiency refurbishment rates in the MARIE regions ranges from 0.12% to 0.26%. This rate is 2-3 times lower than the average energy refurbishment rate in north-western EU countries. This very slow refurbishment rate in the Med area further demonstrates the need for urgent policy action Conclusions From Data Compiled So Far (2)

MARIE Project Basic Goals “to promote the principles of energy efficiency in buildings implementation in the MED area by building a new Energy Renovation Strategy (MEDBEES) around the Mediterranean” “to establish the socio ‐ economic conditions for energy efficiency improvement in the Med building stock in the framework of EU policy objectives, overcoming barriers and creating sustainable development opportunities in the MED area”

MARIE Specific Objectives Adaptation & update of integrated urban and regional regulations for sustainable energy renovation of existing buildings Innovation of financing models for energy renovation of existing buildings, based on public ‐ private synergies and the integration of funding sources The improvement and innovation in the supply of materials, products and services adapted to the current needs of energy renovation of existing buildings

In order to achieve these objectives it has been defined a MARIE strategy: the Mediterranean Building Energy Efficiency Strategy (MEDBEES), comprising 5 Strategic Lines and 14 Strategic Measures The MEDBEE Strategy Each Strategic Measure is associated with one or more MARIE Pilot Actions to define and validate their content & suitability

The MEDBEES Construction Process ( ) ( ) The final Document of MEDBEES will be addressed to policy makers and public and private organizations from all the MED regions, cities and countries that are working to improve energy renovation in buildings

The MEDBEE Strategy 5 STRATEGIC LINES Strategic Line 1:DEVISING TOOLS FOR ENERGY RENOVATION OF BUILDINGS Strategic Line 2:MARKET ACTIVATION FOR ENERGY RENOVATION OF BUILDINGS Strategic Line 3:COMPETITIVENESS AND INNOVATION IN BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY Strategic Line 4:BUILDINGS’ ENERGY EFFICIENCY PUBLIC GOVERNANCE Strategic Line 5:ECONOMIC RESOURCES FOR ENERGY RENOVATION OF BUILDINGS

Scope of PA 2.1.: “To test and evaluate innovative financial mechanisms for energy conservation investments in buildings of the Med area, based on: - the Third Party Financing (TPF) approach -the Involvement of Energy Service Companies (ESCOs)” Goal of PA 2.1.: “To identify & select appropriate buildings of the Med area in order to increase the energy efficiency via refurbishment and creating sustainable & long-term financing mechanisms for energy conservation investments in buildings” MARIE Pilot Action 2.1: Third Party Financing Mechanisms

MARIE Pilot Action 2.1 – The Case of ANKO Selection of Buildings 2 buildings in the Western Macedonia Region finally selected for the implementation of PA 2.1:  The Hospital of “Mpodosakeio” (Ptolemaida)  The Administrative Building of West Macedonia Region (ZEP Kozani) 2 different types of buildings: offices building and hospital
