2. What is Minus 3% project? INTERNATIONAL PROJECT START: 10/2008 END: 09/2011 AIM: - start reduction in energy end-use towards 3% per annum - in the long term to reach minus 30% by 2020

3. Minus3% approach Energy ExpertsCity RepresentativesCountry City of Dublin Energy Management AgencyDublin City Council Graz Energy AgencyCity of Graz Energy Centre BratislavaMunicipality of Malacky Energy Agency of PodravjeMunicipality of Maribor Bryson EnergyCity of Derry Europe Innovation & DevelopmentCity of Teruel PARTNERSHIP: CITY – ENERGY AGENCY

4. Minus3% approach

5. Key Finding 1 Energy saved in the first year amounts to 20,987 MWh with a value of €1,912,000

6. Key Finding 2 The greatest savings are found in improvements to buildings

7. Key Finding 3 The return on investment is better for some measures than others

8. Key Finding 4 Energy efficiency has benefits for cities 1.Reduce annual bills: less kWh = less € 2.Increase capital value of municipal assets 3.Avoid CO 2 penalties in future/ earn € credits 4.Local jobs through new energy services 5.Protecting the environment by lower CO 2 6.Model of good practice for citizens & business

9. Key Finding 5 It is possible to reach the 30% target by 2020 but it does not happen all by itself So a special effort beyond current regulations has to be made by Cities to retrofit their buildings

10. Key Finding 6 Energy Contracting helps to reduce up-front costs Energy Contracting = performance, function and price guarantee = outsourcing of commercial and technical risiks Added value of Energy Contracting:

11. Energy Contracting guarantees energy costs

12. Key Finding 7 Key to successful implementation is an inter- departmental energy management process

13. Key Finding 8 Early stage involvement in planning is important and requires a long-term perspective

14. Key Finding 9 Behavioural measures are very important (in addition to purely technological measures)

15. Key Finding 10 Choice of instruments is a key factor for success in mobilising energy efficiency measures Regulations (e.g. Masterplans Bye-laws, etc) Information and Awareness (e.g. How-to Guide) €€€ Financial Instruments Incentives Direct investments ELENA Energy Contracting ESCOs

16. EU Policy Context ‘MINUS 3% - Shining examples for the implementation of the EU Directive on Energy End-use Efficiency and Energy Services (2006/32/EC)’ To be recast as a new Energy Efficiency Directive: “3% of the total floor area owned by their public bodies is renovated each year to meet at least the minimum energy performance…” Source: European Commission

17. Why Bother? 1.To save money: less kWh = less € 2.To provide a better service and example 3.Protecting the environment by lower CO 2 4.Legislative reasons

18. Yes we can! 1.Cities have control and are responsible 2.Cities are already successful in public services 3.Cities have people, structures, systems -and energy agencies 4.Cities have support of public and media
