ASSOCIATION ORGANIZATION

The role of the Catalonia Energy Efficiency Cluster in the face of economic change At a difficult economic time like the present it is urgent to find new roads for economic growth and job creation. Often innovation, added value and training are mentioned as the keys to a new, more productive and sustainable economic model. We at the Clúster d’Eficiència Energètica de Catalunya (Catalonia Energy Efficiency Cluster, CEEC), an association with over 80 member companies that represent a turnover of more than 10 billion euros within the country, wish to foster energy efficiency as one of the fields that can contribute to accelerating the desired model while meeting important challenges for the future. Consumers observe how the cost of energy rises day by day. In the face of this challenge, the CEEC has already been working for 3 years to foster the implementation of technologies available through the energy service companies (ESCOs) model. This model will allow the financing of projects whose magnitude or complexity can best be handled by private investment, with a partial or total return in efficiency. At CEEC, we are fostering ESCOs in different applications, among them public lighting. Moreover, there are working groups oriented towards the ESCO Model in a multitude of sectors and applications, in both the public sphere (schools, primary health care centres, tunnels, etc.) and the private sphere (supermarkets, corporate buildings, the meat industry, the wine sector, etc.). The potential for energy efficiency is enormous. The CEEC is also a source of new solutions and technological developments for low-energy buildings or in the field of electric mobility, whether through plug-in hybrids or purely electronic vehicles. The use of information and communication technologies in vehicles and infrastructures will certainly allow greater efficiency in mobility and intermodal transport, with particular emphasis on the rail transport sector, highly efficient from the energy perspective. The energy efficiency sector is ever gaining in importance, as demonstrated by CEEC activity. In this regard, CEEC members are in

a privileged position to provide solutions to the energy and competitiveness problems before us. Moreover, we can do so in innovative ways, generating added value and helping to create new, more highly-qualified jobs. We therefore present what we were able to accomplish through joint work in 2010 as proof of what we can do together in the future.

WORKING GROUPS

Initially, the 12 founding companies that launched the CEEC formed 7 working groups. As the association has grown, other groups have joined with the aim of fostering collaborative innovation among companies, such that in December of 2010, the CEEC had 17 active working groups (WGs). The Institut CatalĂ dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Energia (Catalan Energy Institute, ICAEN) also participates actively in all of these groups, created on initiative of the companies involved. In 2010, several working groups were discontinued because they had reached their goals: the b_EFIEN project (MG Buildings), the LIMA project (MG Buildings) and the 22@ project (GM Public Services). However, they may be reinstated should new motivations and/or related projects arise. In 2011, several new working groups are planned and others may arise over the course of the year on the initiative of CEEC member companies. By the same token, the working groups having attained their established goals shall be shut down while other groups emerge. Below is a description of the work carried out by the different groups in 2010.

MASTER GROUP ON BUILDINGS - Master Group on Buildings During 2010 this group did not carry out any specific actions as part of CEEC. In 2011, the Buildings Department of the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC) will take on the leadership of the Master Group (MG) on Buildings. This Working Group will begin its activity during the first quarter of 2011, when a global meeting of the working groups active within the Master Group on Buildings framework will be held in order to identify synergies and possible shared points of interest among the different companies participating.

Proposals for Launching the Groups To begin debate and as a guiding theme, reflection is proposed on zero-energy buildings, one of IREC’s main lines of work at present. Along the same lines as European Directive 2002/91/EC of the European Parliament and of the European Council on the energy performance of buildings (recast as Directive 2010/31/ EU), the aim is to work towards achieving the ‘20-20-20’ goals established by the European Union by the year 2020:

• • • •

Reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by 20% with respect to 1990 levels Increase energy efficiency by 20% Increase the share of renewables in the energy mix by 20% Identify information on exemplary projects and good practices in Catalonia and set up a system of collecting data or documentation that could be uploaded onto the website under the Master Group’s section as a database.

MASTER GROUP ON BUILDINGS

• Name of the MG: MG Buildings • Master Group: Buildings • Date WG established: March 2011

WORKING GROUP GOALS • Explore the possibility of submitting different research projects to calls for projects on both a national and a European level, with the participation of one or several working groups of the CEEC’s Master Group on Buildings. • Identify information on exemplary projects and good practices in Catalonia and create a system of compiling the information that could be in the form of an ‘information container’ (database) on the CEEC website, under the Master Group section. ACTIVITIES PLANNED FOR 2011 • Identifying synergies and possible connections and joint RDI projects between different members of the WG • Reflecting on zero-energy buildings • Analyzing national and European calls for projects, detecting lines concordant with the WG’s topics of interest, preparing joint projects as collaborative efforts among different WG companies and submitting them. METHODOLOGY • Holding a general meeting of the working groups active under the Master Group on Buildings in order to discuss the goals of the group and the specific work methodology established. • Holding sub-group meetings according to the projects undertaken. COMPANIES INVOLVED IN THE WORKING GROUP Companies in the Master Group on Buildings interested in participating in the group.

WORKING GROUPS

MASTER GROUP ON BUILDINGS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Working Group on Thermally Activated Cooling Background and Goals The Working Group on Thermally Activated Cooling (TAC WG), led by Comsa Emte, began operating in 2009. The reflections and motivations behind its creation were to expand on knowledge and foster thermally activated cooling technology, given the advantages it represents over conventional cooling technologies. Thermal comfort means peaks in electrical demand during the hottest seasons (which have the highest incidence of solar energy) and solar air conditioning can help manage this demand. The substitution of the mechanical compression system by thermochemical compression technology, with a very low level of noise and vibration, keeps maintenance costs very low (few moving parts) and allows energy savings (harnessing waste/renewable heat). Saving on the electricity bill is one of the goals, since at peak hours (when price is highest) production is greater and the power taken from the conventional system is lower. To avoid heat evacuation problems, solar domestic hot water/heating and cooling systems can be used for winter and summer seasons, respectively, thus expanding the use of the solar thermal system. CFC and HCFC-free systems will also be considered in this Working Group. Activities Carried Out This working group has carried out different activities in the field of thermally activated cooling (TAC), such as identifying barriers to the application of thermally activated cooling technologies (returns on investment not high enough and the need for specialized operation and management); and identifying existing technologies (absorption, adsorption, solid desiccants, liquid desiccants). The study of technological alternatives for auxiliary equipment (such as substitution of cooling towers with air heaters, geothermal systems, consumption of waste heat for industrial processes, etc.); solar thermal energy obtained through collectors (flat plate, vacuum tube or concentrating solar collectors, solar air heating collectors, etc.) and the heat from generator cooling circuits, industrial waste heat and the like, are also objects of analysis. Technical and economic analysis of technologies is useful for ascertaining their degree of implementation and comparing them (CREVER, COMSA EMTE, COFELY, IREC, AIGUASOL, KROMSCHROEDER, SALICRU...). This working group (WG) is working on knowledge transfer on thermally activated cooling technologies in order to ascertain results and conclusions of research projects on a European level (AIGUASOL): ROCOCO project, SOLAIR project and the Pompeu Fabra Library facilities in MatarĂł. It also focuses on researching equipment suppliers and presentation of their

WORKING GROUPS

products and know-how relating to thermally activated cooling systems: Ecovat, Ecoterm, Sedical, Petra Inventum (Solar Item). Analyses of the viability, both technical and financial, of possible applications focuses on the tertiary sector: healthcare centres, shopping centres, sports centres, hotels, prisons, large buildings with high energy consumption, etc., and in the industrial and agricultural sectors: cooling, heating and industrial refrigeration. To collect data and analyze it, various visits were made to facilities with possibly high energy consumption. Facilities visited were: DMAH, Alella Municipal Sports Centre, Masnou Municipal Sports Complex, Club Natació Granollers (Granollers swimming pool), Club Natació Calella (Calella swimming pool), Hotel Àrea de Servei de Bellaterra, Consorci Sociosanitari de Viladecans (Viladecans Social & Health Consortium), Centre Assistencial Sant Joan de Déu d’Almacelles (Almacelles Healthcare Centre), Hotel Salou, Codorniu (Codorniu wine cellars) and the Àgora student residence hall in Barcelona. As part of the activities carried out in 2010, this working group effected a technical and financial study for application on the ESCO level at specific facilities (COMSAEMTE + COFELY): in an office building (DMAH), at a student residence hall (ÀGORA) and a sports centre (Alella). Visits to facilities with thermally activated cooling systems have had a certain weight in the WG activities. Specifically, Ges Siemsa Tarragona and the Pompeu Fabra Library in Mataró were visited. Both facilities’ thermally activated cooling systems were out of order. Different companies and institutions of the Working Group are working to get them operating again and thus verify and demonstrate their viability. Through the WG’s participation in the CEEC project as an Innovative Business Cluster (Agrupación Empresarial Innovadora, AEI), it has obtained a subsidy from the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade (MITyC). It has also participated in preparing the European-wide project EFFIBEST (Best available technologies for energy efficiency in non-residential buildings: energy management systems, HVAC and smart lighting) to apply for a subsidy from the European Commission through the SAVE programme. Other activities carried out in 2010 were defining the elements necessary for monitoring thermally activated cooling systems (KROMSCHROEDER), analyzing the legal framework for application and researching subsidies and financing programmes. Activities Planned Currently, the group is working on getting thermally activated cooling systems that are out of order or not operating back into operation. The WG’s goal is to carry out maintenance, management and operation of the systems according to the ESCO model

WORKING GROUPS

(or similar), and to carry out monitoring and remote data collection for analysis and in order to gain in-depth knowledge of the technology and its real application. The specific systems are: absorption machine technology (Ges Siemsa Tarragona, 34kWf) and solid desiccant technology (Pompeu Fabra Library in Mataró). In the sphere of research, the working group will focus on sports centres. Moreover, it will study other possible locations or facilities with high energy consumption in order to analyze the viability of implementing thermally activated cooling technology. Other future group activities planned include research and analysis of operation data from existing thermally activated cooling installations (Afrisol, Pere Camps, etc.); monitoring and analysis of energy consumption in buildings, with the data broken down to establish buildings’ needs (the energy demand); monitoring and analysis of extant cooling installations to ascertain their capacities (supply); carrying out a presentation for the Working Group on Thermally Activated Cooling showing technological solutions offered by the group and their possible applications, both in ESCO format and as an investment by the client; and participating in the Catalan Energy Institute’s Energy Efficiency at Sports Facilities seminar, to be held in May 2011. With regard to specific facilities, monitoring is significant, both in the technical-economic evaluation of the viability of installing a monitoring system for thermally activated cooling systems or the cooling systems themselves (KROMSCHROEDER and IREC), and in processing the data from systems monitoring (IREC); also, the installation of thermally activated cooling technology via visits to feasible locations and collection of energy consumption data; thermal-economic evaluation of the viability of installing thermally activated cooling technology (ISUNO, COMSA EMTE, COFELY, ECOTERM and SALICRU); and studying the dual-option business plan: ESCO / client investment (EMTE and COFELY).

MASTER GROUP ON BUILDINGS – Working Group on Energy Management Systems

Generally speaking, the Working Group on Energy Management Systems, led by Circutor and consisting of companies in energy services, installation and maintenance, equipment manufacture and software supply, began operating in 2010. The goals of this WG are to define a measurement equipment package allowing telemanagement of energy consumption in buildings and public or private facilities with the aim of establishing energy consumption ratios and collaborating in defining the types of service to offer the government bodies. Given the evolution that energy services are experiencing and the plans existing to carry out projects in the sphere of administration in general, the working group has reoriented its goals for 2011 as follows: 1. Research and carrying out energy management projects in buildings used for different purposes, this being understood as the entirety of the services and equipment necessary. Moreover, we intend to carry out a study relating energy consumption and perceived comfort. 2. Defining the scope and drawing up a technical guide for building management that will cover the following aspects: • Necessary Service • Technological Contribution • Key Sectoral Consumption Ratios Currently, due to the number of members in the working group, we believe it necessary to reorganize its operation to speed up project progress. Thus, the WG may begin operating in sub-groups to avoid the problems that could arise between companies with similar functions on the market.

MASTER GROUP ON BUILDINGS – Working Group on HVAC This working group is led by Soler&Palau and among its goals and main lines of work are fostering energy efficiency projects in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) for residential, commercial and industrial space. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning are undergoing major evolution and convergence. The projects the WG will develop and carry out will use all the latest technology available on energy efficiency: adjustment of airflow according to need, ventilation with heat recovery, air conditioning incorporated into the system as in-duct devices, sensors for parameters such as humidity, temperature and CO2, regulation devices, continuous airflow, use of high-performance motors, in particular brushless ones, etc. One of the goals is to build an energy-efficient joint offer among the HVAC Group members. The aim is to create a global HVAC offer for passive buildings, which would mean that the companies in the group can supply all the equipment and components required, as well as their installation, control and maintenance. Although the passive house or passive building concept also includes (micro-) generation of energy (solar thermal, photovoltaic or mini wind turbine), the HVAC Working Group does not touch upon this aspect. The technical and commercial synergies among members of the working group must be discovered and fostered. Doubtless that among the group members synergies and collaboration opportunities will arise, both from a technical and a commercial standpoint. The creation of offers will allow our group members to expand their catalogue of products. Synergies may also arise with regard to expenses, as members may be able to share certain expenses such as creation of specific websites, publishing joint catalogues, shared attendance at fairs, etc. The latest technologies and innovations in energy efficiency must be made known and included in the CEEC’s HVAC projects. The inclusion of said latest technologies in energy efficiency in the companies’ product range will be accompanied by the corresponding dissemination of information, which can be online, on paper, in the form of presentations, conferences, seminars and so forth, aimed at different groups such as installation engineers, customers, distributors, congresses, fairs, professional associations, technical schools and universities, etc.

WORKING GROUPS

Among the established lines of work is to make the WG a flagship of HVAC efficiency, with influence in the legal sphere and before the Administration. This working group aims to become a depository of knowledge on energy efficiency in HVAC, such that said knowledge will have to be made available to the government, in particular to the bodies passing laws and establishing regulations. In particular, this WG should aim to influence or contribute to the Spanish Technical Building Code (C贸digo T茅cnico de la Edificaci贸n) and the Spanish Regulations on Thermal Installations in Buildings (RITE). In addition to the regulations facet, the group may contribute notably by drawing up a compendium of good practice in energy efficiency.

MASTER GROUP ON BUILDINGS – Working Group on Intelligent Façades

Goals This working group, led by Abantia, which is the group’s company specializing in building maintenance, began its activity in 2010 with the goal of developing products, equipment or systems for improvement of the energy efficiency of building façades, integrating functions and automating functionality adapting it to outdoor and indoor conditions; adding other improvements (soundproofing, indoor environmental quality, etc.); focussing its activities on the thermal envelope, ventilation and climate control, indoor natural lighting and energy, and seeking to develop systems for façade renovation that can be easily integrated. Activities Carried Out In 2010, the working group carried out the following activities: 1. Configuration of the group, with Delta Dore immediate joining the group as a specialist in software for systems control and integration, and the subsequent joining of PGI Engineering, an engineering and consulting company specializing in energyefficient buildings. The group considers that it also needs consultants specializing in façades, and steps have been taken in this direction, with the hope that the interest expressed by several companies will lead some of them to join the group. 2. Definition of priorities. The WG focussed on façade renovation, since this would seem strategically the best step given the current economic climate. Specifically, the group has begun to analyze the possibilities of buildings with glass façades, since they generally display poor energy efficiency. The WG analyzed other types of façades in the case of buildings with high energy consumption or a high degree of indoor discomfort. 3. Commercial activities. The WG provided support to the Abantia Group to canvass prospective clients for whom it already takes care of building maintenance. Activities Planned The goals established by the working group for 2011 are as follows: 1. Final validation of the measures protocol and data collection at buildings belonging to current clients (currently under development) in order to propose an energy efficiency enhancement study, focusing on the group’s goals: the integration of functions and automation of operation to adapt it to the indoor and outdoor conditions of the building. 2. Completing the consolidation within the group of the teams necessary to advance in the two lines of work that can produce best results under current circumstances: glass facades or façades of a more industrial component, and conventional facades of masonry with windows and balconies.

WORKING GROUPS

3. Establishment of appropriate procedures for advancing most effectively in attracting potential clients or interested ESCO-type companies. The aim in each case is to carry out a study and make a proposal for improvements to help clients decide to invest in energy efficiency for facades (and other necessary action). This requires analyzing the technology within the scope of CEEC member companies and using creativity to include and propose innovative aspects. 4. There is also the possibility of developing new products, equipment or systems for energy-efficient façades and integrating functions such as enhancing the thermal envelope, ventilation and lighting. 5. Show the procedures followed and the acquisition of knowledge in the working group in a guide covering different types of buildings that can serve in the future as a reference work for implementing energy efficiency enhancement measures on façades. 6. Be open to WG members’ proposals for new lines of work, group reorientation according to specific circumstances, etc.

MASTER GROUP ON BUILDINGS – Working Group on ESCOs for Schools and Other Educational Institutions Goals This working group (WG), established in 2010 and coordinated by Enertika, aims to study and develop customized solutions for implementation of the Energy Service Company (ESCO) business model at schools and other educational institutions. Activities Carried Out in 2010 In 2010, through periodical meetings, the following activities were carried out: training on the ESCO business model, its principals and how it functions; identification of competencies among the different group members and their potential contributions to the different tasks required in an ESCO project; identification of a network of potential contacts and generation of prospective business opportunities. Analyses and reflections made during the last quarter of 2010 have revealed the need to segment potential clients and/or action with the aim of studying and correctly evaluating the most efficient, customized solutions. The group has thus established two main categories: 1. Educational Centres with Small or Medium Surface Areas: Generally primary and secondary schools (CEIP, IES). Such educational centres usually have surface areas of some 3,000-4,000 m2 and are characterized by medium to low energy intensity and simple facilities. They usually do not have cooling systems, with the exception of possible stand-along cooling units for administrative and faculty offices. 2. Educational Centres with Large or Very Large Surface Areas: Business schools and universities. Such educational centres usually have surface areas of more than 5,000 m2 and are characterized by medium to high energy intensity, often having heating and air conditioning systems. According to these categories, two potential sub-groups for project generation have been identified: 1. Secondary Schools (IES) Primary and secondary schools represent a challenge for the ESCO model, which is normally implemented in large-scale projects at facilities with significant consumption levels. The main doubt relative to this application of the ESCO model is whether, given the initial consumption (usually between € 15,000 and € 30,000 per year), it is possible to generate sufficient savings on energy costs to recoup the initial investments in improvements and justify ESCO interest. In the face of this chal-

WORKING GROUPS

lenge, secondary schools seem a priori more interested than primary schools, since the corresponding energy costs are directly at the expense of the Catalan Government’s Department of Education and not the City Council. This characteristic allows consideration of a possible future pooling of assets (grouping together more assets in a single project so as to enhance the average performance of projects as a whole) in order to generate synergies and economies of scale for ESCOs. The companies forming the working group –Istem, Dexma and Enertika– have volunteered their availability to participate on a pilot project for basic monitoring of one or two secondary schools. The centres will be selected with the collaboration and monitoring of the Catalan Energy Institute (ICAEN), which will study the possibilities of support and financial aid, since it is a project falling within its specific field of interest. Some of the general advantages that managing energy at government facilities would be: 1. Education and awareness-raising on energy issues among school users allows the creation and development of a generation of environmentally-conscious students also aware of their social environment. These values, directly related to sustainability, could form part of student’s educational program. 2. A possible centralized database of the assets assigned to such expenses in Catalonia would serve as an informative and management tool as well as a guide for other Autonomous Communities of Spain. In conclusion, studying and implementing ESCO projects at primary and secondary schools would be beneficial and are considered desirable measures. 2. Universities and Other Institutions of Higher Education This area of work focussing on large-dimension institutions of higher education enjoys the support of the UPC’s experience in its UPC02 project, focussing on monitoring energy consumption with subsequent handling of the inefficiencies detected and which has contributed savings of approximately 30% on energy consumption for heating. Indeed, universities are major energy consumers with a large margin for energy efficiency improvement. Thus, they are a good opportunity for applying the model of outsourced energy services. The goal established by the working group is to extrapolate from the UPC’s solution and experience and analyze its appropriateness for outsourcing energy services at

WORKING GROUPS

institutions of higher learning in ESCO contract format. Work is currently being done in this direction: the WG is evaluating what the UPCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collaboration should consist of and seeking centres with less economic resources and the technical capacity necessary for carrying out projects of these characteristics without the need for an ESCO. In this sub-group, Enertika will contribute its knowledge and experience with schools; Dexma, the technology (software); and Intem will be the energy service company responsible for monitoring and maintenance of installations.

MASTER GROUP ON MOBILITY Working Group on Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (EVI WG) Working Group on Efficient Mobility

WORKING GROUPS

MASTER GROUP ON MOBILITY – WG on Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVC WG) The main goal of this working group (WG), created in 2009, is to identify the nontechnological barriers associated with electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure that can prevent proper implementation of this type of vehicles. This involves analyzing barriers of a regulatory type, lack of knowledge of the sector among nonspecialized groups, etc. Initiatives are then carried out via sub-groups to minimize the impact of such barriers. The great number of specialists comprising the working group from different sectors related to electric vehicle implementation (manufacturers, equipment suppliers, energy suppliers, users, etc.) ensures a sound selection of projects and their proper execution, data interpretation and dissemination of results. Activities Carried Out in 2010 The work carried out by the working group in 2010 focussed on reviewing regulations affecting electric vehicles; preparing a version in article format of the document, “Análisis de soluciones de recarga del vehículo eléctrico en aparcamientos privados” (“Analysis of Electric Vehicle Charging Solutions at Private Parking Facilities”, published by the working group in 2009 and available to the general public through the CEEC website) for its publication in a specialized journal in the sector, and a pilot project to install a regulation charge point in a multiple-user private parking facility in Barcelona. The group also began to draw up a guide on installing regulation EV charge points at private community parking garages, aimed at electric vehicle users, developers and building administrators; and fostering the IVEA project (a study on electric mobility aiming to propose specific solutions and recommendations for adaptation of mobility policy to fit electric vehicle needs). Activities Planned for 2011 In 2011, the working group plans to: publish the article, “Análisis de soluciones de recarga del vehículo eléctrico en aparcamientos privados” (“Analysis of Electric Vehicle Charging Solutions at Private Parking Facilities”) in the ELECTRA journal; adapt and publish the article in a construction sector journal (aimed at developers and builders); revise the Spanish Complementary Technical Instructions (ITC) of the Electrotechnical Regulations on Low Tension (REBT) specific to electric vehicles and submit the final proposal to the Spanish Ministry in question, as well as monitoring progress on this issue.

WORKING GROUPS

The WG also plans on publishing the Guide to Installing Regulation EV Charge Facilities at Private Community Parking Garages and publicise it via seminars and by carrying out at least two pilot projects to install EV charge points at multiple-user private parking facilities, to be included in the Guide as practical examples and covering cases of new as well as extant parking facilities. The WG shall carry out a study on the costs of installing a recharge point in a private parking facility according to the different stages of generalization of electric vehicle use.

MASTER GROUP ON MOBILITY – Working Group on Efficient Mobility

This working group (WG), established in 2010 and led by Siemens, focuses on projects for improving surface street traffic, analyzing mobility both with regard to the vehicles (tramways, buses, cars, motorcycles) and to efficient management of the infrastructures they use. Activities Carried Out in 2010 In 2010, the WG carried out the following: 1. Researched possible projects for the 7th EU Framework Programme (FP7). After surveying the calls for projects, the WG considered submitting the following projects: Energy Consumption Reduction in Urban Rail Systems, (SST.2011.1.1-4). Pilot project for a station including a reversible substation and accumulation. After a series of meetings with a Catalan business consortium, a proposal was devised and submitted to the European Commission under the leadership of UITP and UNIFE. ICT for Clean and Efficient Multi-modal Mobility (ICT 2011-6.6, b). After analyzing an existing proposal put forth by the UPC’s Centre for Transport Innovation (CENIT) and identifying working group members’ fields of interest, a sub-group was created, led by CENIT and with the participation of COMSA-EMTE and SENER, to develop a joint proposal. The project was not submitted due to lack of time and is now on hold, awaiting submission to a future call for proposals. 2. White Paper on Efficient Mobility In late 2010, the WG decided to focus its efforts on drawing up a White Paper to present reflections on solutions allowing improved surface street traffic in the city of Barcelona. The aim is to detect specific government needs from which project opportunities may arise. Activities Planned for 2011 In 2011, the WG plans on working on the following: 1. White Paper on Efficient Mobility One of our goals in 2011 is to draw up and publish the stated White Paper and effect a round of interviews with agents in the mobility sector to identify the sector’s specific needs.

MASTER GROUP ON PUBLIC SERVICES – Working Group on ESCO Tenders in Public Lighting This working group (WG) was set up in late 2010 to meet the need of certain companies entering tendering processes to ascertain the position of the business sector with respect to tenders for public lighting energy services in order to adapt their future schedules of terms and conditions to these positions. Indeed, a series of conditioning factors exist that elicit the interest of the different market agents in ascertaining the viewpoint of the ESCOs:

• Entrance of ESCOs onto the public lighting market, primarily due to the promo• • • •

tion of the Government (Genercat 2000ESE plans, etc.) Major growth forecast in this sector once the projects undertaken demonstrate the model’s advantages Need to establish the positioning of ESCOs in public lighting to orient the tendering parties and increase the chances for success in the tendering process Evaluation of the possibly high economic impact of the tenderers’ having to repeat the preliminary auditing process Need to optimize the tendering process and make it more efficient, with a general vision of the resources allocated by both the city council and the tenderers in the preliminary audits.

Thus, the group, comprised by energy service companies (ESCOs), has the following goals: 1. Establishing the business sector’s position with respect to tenders for energy service suppliers in public lighting 2. Drawing up a document on the ESCOs positions with respect to different the aspects to be considered (technical, legal, contractual) in this type of tenders and arriving at a common position 3. Publishing and disseminating the document. A document will be drawn up based on consensus and reflecting the ESCOs’ position, which will be open to review by other CEEC companies, such that they may contribute suggestions, comments and/or modifications before the document is publicly disseminated

MASTER GROUP ON PUBLIC SERVICES – Working Group on ESCOs in Public Lighting Background and Goals The CEEC’s Working Group on ESCOs in Public Lighting (Lighting WG), led by Comsa Emte, began operating in late 2008. It continues pertinent and active, strengthened by promotion of energy service company (ESCO) business models by the Government. From the start, the group began working on a model outsourcing contract for energy services relating to street lighting systems mainly oriented towards town councils as potential clients, establishing the proposal of drawing up contracts and developing ESCO projects. Once the decision was made to use this contract model, the situation was analyzed and the most important aspects were established, as follows:

• Current economic climate • Spanish Royal Decree 1890/2008 - Energy Efficiency in Public Lighting Systems Regulations • Age / Energy inefficiency of municipal lighting facilities • New technologies and development of energy-efficient equipment (lamps, reactance, management systems, etc.). On the basis of this analysis, the Lighting WG proposed a model with a single final goal: create an ESCO to renovate and/or improve public street lighting facilities in different municipalities to make them fully energy efficient. In this contract model, the ESCO makes the investment, recouping it through energy savings attained by implementing its energy efficiency proposals. With the aim of establishing an atmosphere of trust and transparency with the possible client, the model proposed by the Lighting WG includes a first stage during which the following measures are carried out:

• Energy audit of the street lighting facilities • Viability study and drawing up the technical and legal documentation for outsourcing energy facilities management to ESCOs These measures are considered fundamental for setting up an ESCO that will be fully operational, economically viable and energy efficient. That is, they must allow the Lighting WG to gain real knowledge of the state of the facilities and their characteristics and operation to establish the viability of an ESCO and define the measures to be carried out by it, its scope and the targeted results.

WORKING GROUPS

The second stage defined by the Lighting WG corresponds to the execution of the ESCO according to the conditions described in the project for viable energy facilities management for Energy Service Companies. Activities Carried Out in 2010 In late 2009, after seeking prospective clients for the business model in question, the Lighting WG provided support and orientation to two town councils in Catalonia to apply for public aid from the Catalan Energy Institute (ICAEN) for energy efficiency and conservation subsidies within the framework of the Action Plan for Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (DOGC 28/09/2009), in order for them to obtain subsidies to carry out the studies enabling the Lighting WG model to be put into practice. Two different subsidies were requested, for: Energy Audit of Outdoor Lighting Facilities and Viability Study for Outsourcing Street Lighting Facilities to an ESCO. These studies would allow the working group to gain real knowledge of the state of the facilities and their characteristics and operation to establish the viability of an ESCO and define the measures to be carried out by it, its scope and the targeted results. The town councils in question were: • Vidreres Town Council (Province of Girona): Streetlights: ± 2,000 / Inhabitants: ± 5,500 • Cardedeu Town Council (Province of Barcelona): Streetlights: ± 4,500 / Inhabitants: ± 17,000 Finally, ICAEN granted a subsidy for the viability study for an ESCO street lighting outsourcing project to both town councils, which in turn had to select the company to carry out the study. The Lighting WG appointed EMTE Service S.A.U. as the company to carry out the studies on its behalf. The Vidreres City Council entrusted the study to EMTE Service S.A.U. Nonetheless, the WG was informed that the Cardedeu study had been entrusted to SECE, which was already carrying out the maintenance of the town’s street lighting facilities. Once the official confirmation from Vidreres was received for outsourcing the facilities to the company EMTE Service S.A.U., it began carrying out the study. The deadline for submitting the final study is 31 January 2011.

WORKING GROUPS

The situation with the Cardedeu City Council was a disappointment for the Lighting WG. The group has contacted the city council through several meetings with the municipal technician and local government officials, the establishment and aim of the CEEC’s working group had been explained, along with the benefits of undertaking a study to implement an ESCO project in the municipality, and we had also provided them with all of the documentation necessary to apply for and obtain a subsidy from ICAEN. This notwithstanding, the municipality chose another company. On the basis of this experience, the Lighting WG began to question the appropriateness of the established model for attracting clients. The basic model established defined the best prospective client, understood as those with the greatest potential for doing business, small town councils with a department of public works and services and not a maintenance company, for various reasons, primarily:

• It was considered easier to obtain contracts as the town councils did not already have a specialized maintenance company on hire capable of offering these services. • Facilities at such municipalities often have greater potential for improvement in energy efficiency, since their state of conservation and maintenance is generally lower than facilities serviced by specialized maintenance companies. • Investment of resources (both in the study stage and in the actual ESCO project stage) is usually lower, allowing several projects to be carried out at the same time. Finally, the Lighting WG decided to include SECE, one of the most important companies in the specific sector of street lighting maintenance in Catalonia, as one of its members in 2011. SECE is a member of CEEC and has shown an interest in joining the WG on several occasions. The Lighting WG considers that the presence of SECE can open doors for the Working Group in attracting other town councils as potential clients for the ESCO model and will facilitate the work of generating a significant business volume. By the same token, in late 2010, the CEEC decided to create a new WG on ESCO Tenders in Public Lighting, whose goals are described above and which will work in parallel to the Lighting WG. Both EMTE Service S.A.U. and ISTEM, two Lighting WG member companies, will participate in the WG on ESCO Tenders in Public Lighting and will serve as liaisons between the two WGs.

WORKING GROUPS

Working Group Goals for 2011 GOAL 1 After submitting the viability study for the Vidreres Town Council, the Lighting WG will contribute the necessary means for the Town Council to decide to go ahead with the ESCO project. Since the project execution will be assigned via a public tendering process, the Lighting WG will be available to provide counselling to the Town officials should they so request, so as to raise the chances for success, with the support, if necessary, of the ESCO Public Lighting Services WG. GOAL 2 At the same time, with the inclusion of SECE in the Lighting WG, the base model established to attract new clients will be reviewed. In principle, the Lighting WG expects to maintain its premises based on:

• The current model of small town councils continues to be valid. Therefore, we believe the modus operandi being used is correct. We believe that if we increase our business capacity, other town councils may become interested. • Defining a new model for town councils that already employ the services of an external street lighting facilities maintenance company. PROSPECTS Since the Lighting WG believes that the model defined for small town councils is valid and that it will also define another model for larger town councils, we hope that during the course of 2011, we can carry out a broad range of viability studies for projects for outsourcing street lighting facility services to ESCOs. These prospects are mainly based on three conditioning factors: • The CEEC wishes to make an agreement with the Barcelona Provincial Council (Diputació de Barcelona) to carry out studies at a series of town councils having shown an interest in participating in ESCO projects • Including SECE in the WG will most certainly provide us with many contacts with town councils • The experience of the viability study for the Vidreres Town Council and the possible ESCO project will most likely open doors for us, at least at town councils of similar characteristics

MASTER GROUP ON PUBLIC SERVICES – Working Group on District Heating and Cooling

This working group (WG), led by Ecoenergies (Agefred), began operating in 2010 with the aim of fostering the creation of district heating and cooling (DHC) networks among government authorities and establishing an observatory of DHC projects in Catalonia (data, trends, CO2 emissions reductions and so forth). The following two projects were established as priorities for 2010:

• Carrying out a comparative study between a conventional solution and connection to DHC. The project is in its final stage: the last parameters are being defined before proceeding to make a spreadsheet where, by entering a series of data, the comparative study can be obtained on both the economic and environmental aspects. The study includes such parameters as:

1. Economic and technical parameters: investment and operation costs (main2. 3. 4. 5.

tenance, energy expenses, etc.) Useful space saved Space saved according to the installed power capacity (m2/kW) Cost of renting the space (€/m2). Legal Regulations: A DHC facility can allow you to avoid installing the solar panels required by the Spanish Regulations on Thermal Installations in Buildings (RITE). This must be kept in mind in the case of housing and hotels, but not in that of offices. Environmental parameters: CO2 emissions Energy certification of buildings: the connection of a building to a DHC network can make the building’s energy certification go up a letter. In this regard, the post CALENER tool can be used to enter several examples and evaluate to what degree buildings will really rise in category. Safety: the danger of fires and/or explosions in the building is eliminated with the elimination of gas.

• Drawing up a guide to simulate a DHC system with CALENER software. Districlima and Ecoenergies (Agefred) drew up the guide, which has been validated by the Catalan Institute for Energy (ICAEN) and has proven useful for developing an extension of the CALENER software (i.e. post CALENER) that allows simulating a connection to district heating and cooling networks based on the operational parameters of the power stations.

MASTER GROUP ON PUBLIC SERVICES – Working Group on Energy Efficiency in Tunnels This Working Group (WG), comprised by the companies GPO INGENIERÍA, ISTEM, EMTE, SNELLOPTICS, SIEMENS, ESPACIO SOLAR and CONAU VENTILACIÓN, has the final initial goal of “describing the design and operation criteria to consider when projecting, constructing and operating a tunnel for it to be energy efficient.” At the first meeting, since there is a diversity of tunnel types, the group decided to study non-urban vehicular tunnels. The reason is that existing tunnels will soon have to be adapted to the new regulations and therefore, the criteria arising from the group’s conclusions will be able to be put into practice shortly. Activities Carried Out in 2010 In 2010, five general working meetings were held, at an average of one a month beginning in June. Several partial working meetings were also held to discuss specific topics. The meetings were attended by members of each of the WG’s participating companies, as well as senior officers from companies specializing in lighting, on occasion, such as BJC and OSRAM. Attending habitually were also officials from the Catalan Energy Institute (ICAEN), whose contributions have helped us gain a more global perspective. Towards the end of the year, representatives of TABASA also began attending meetings, offering us a very important perspective, i.e. that of the tunnel operator. Four sub-groups were created to deal with the following aspects:

• Artificial Lighting: SNELLOPTICS and EMTE. Studying the effects of lighting

MASTER GROUP ON INDUSTRY – Working Group on Micro-Cogeneration in the Industrial Sector

This working group (WG), led by Salicru, aims to introduce micro-cogeneration (micro combined heat and power) technology to sectors and applications where, due to dimensions, energy source characteristics and so forth, the use of a micro-turbine would optimize the overall energy efficiency of systems. The ultimate intention is thus to offer integrated and innovative solutions on the market, increasing the competitiveness of group companies and fostering a sustainable economy through reduction in energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The working group thus intents to become a leader in micro-cogeneration (micro CHP) solutions, pursuing different projects that demonstrate the technical and economic viability of micro-turbines, evaluating aspects such as returns on investment and ease of replication on the market. In 2010 the WG carried out the following activities:

• Analyzed possible processes or industries where application of micro-cogeneration technology would be appropriate.

• Evaluated thermal needs (maximum power, seasonality…). • Carried out project viability studies • Selected the equipment and design for the micro CHP system • Proposed different sources of financing, including by the company itself or via financing institutions, ESCOs, etc. • Reliable, integrated and economically sustainable solution • Defined priorities by sectors and primary energy source: biogas, natural gas, biomass, etc. • Presented the working group to the Catalan Water Agency (ACA) and the Solid Waste Agency of Catalonia (Agència de Residus de Catalunya, ARC) • Drew up a table for calculating project viability • Submitted a project for harnessing biogas as a tender for the Mancomunitat Penedès Garraf (Penedès Garraf Municipalities Agency) wastewater treatment plants (EDARs) of Sant Pere de Ribes – Sitges and Vilafranca • Obtained the contract for the wastewater treatment plant of Sant Pere de Ribes – Sitges

MASTER GROUP ON INDUSTRY – Working Group on Energy Efficiency in Industrial Processes This working group (WG), led by Kromschroeder, began operating in 2010 with the goal of offering energy-efficient solutions (ECO packages) for manufacturing processes in the industrial sector. The aim is to improve the overall energy efficiency of the industry without modifying the manufacturing process per se, through the technology and services that the different members of the group can supply. The areas to be worked on are industrial heating and cooling, as well as any other process affecting a company’s energy consumption. The group’s lines of work are:

1. Contacting prospective companies in the industrial sector likely to benefit from improvements entailing reduced emissions, reduced consumption and increased productivity

2. Effecting preliminary audits and collecting data to evaluate the degree of efficiency of the different manufacturing processes 3. Identifying the processes / services that can be optimized 4. Identifying technologies / services that can be supplied 5. Creating a customized “ECO package” for each case 6. Applying the improvements and checking the subsequent results In 2010, the following activities were carried out:

1. Defining the working group’s specific goals insofar as its approach to industrial manufacturing processes, disregarding all auxiliary services, which are the focus of another working group. 2. Reducing the WG’s number of members, according to each member company’s characteristics 3. Defining the Eco packages with respect to stages or steps. See the abovestated lines of work. 4. Review of the current scenario on the emissions market from the industrial perspective, using the Spanish National Plan for Emissions Rights Assignment (Plan Nacional de Asignación de Derechos de Emisión, PNA) of the current and previous fiscal years as a reference 5. Definition and situation of subsidies from the Government of Catalonia applicable to the Industrial Sector (ICAEN’s PAGE programme) 6. Participating in sessions with other clusters (INNOVAC), seeking synergies that can be of mutual interest The working group’s main goal for 2011 centres on executing a pilot project at an industrial company consisting of a viability study for enhancing the energy efficiency of the manufacturing process, developing the corresponding ECO package and applying it, exhaustively monitoring the results.

MÀSTER EN FORMACIÓ - GM en Formació The Master Group (MG) on Training, led by the company Schneider Electric, aims to contribute to training professionals in energy efficiency. The idea is to develop training programmes focussing on technological and practical knowledge, marketing and implementing energy efficiency systems for industry, the tertiary sector and residential applications. Seeking to promote training of a highly practical nature, it is aimed at professionals wishing to enter the sector or improve their knowledge. The intention is therefore to define various educational programmes according to different professional profiles, as shown in the following figure:

Training in Energy Efficiency DESIGNED FOR: • Heads of sales, projects or services interested in gaining an overview of energy efficiency solutions • Specialists or technicians in sales, projects or services oriented towards selling or implementing integrated energy-efficient solutions.

CONTENT: • General Module + Optional Module (Module by Segments) • General Module + Module by Segments + Practical Module

In 2010, the Master Group on Training focused on establishing the training needs of professionals in the sphere of energy efficiency as detected by companies in the group with the aim of ensuring the existence of quality training options in the field.

WORKING GROUPS

With this aim in mind, the Master Group on Training carried out an analysis of the different training programmes relating to energy efficiency existing on the market. The analysis revealed that the training option most in accordance with the group’s perspective, lending emphasis to practical training, was the Master Group on Energy Efficiency of the University of Barcelona’s IL3 (Institute for Lifelong Learning). The pertinent contacts having been made with the directors of the UB’s Master Group, the initiatives for the current 2010-2011 academic year consist of having companies in the CEEC’s Master Group on Training design and set up practical sessions. The goals for the forthcoming academic year (i.e. 2011-2012) are to sign an IL3-UB – CEEC collaboration agreement, and to negotiate an agreement for CEEC’s participation in the IL3-UB Master Group as co-director, which would allow it to influence the training programme.

EUROPEAN UNION PROJECTS

EU PROJECTS 2010 One of the fields in which the CEEC is working in order to foster innovation and its market application is detecting opportunities for company collaboration on innovation and development. Thus, in 2010, it worked on developing the following energy efficiency projects, all of them aimed towards the buildings sector. EFFIBEST – SAVE Working Groups: Energy Management Systems in Buildings, Residential Heating & Cooling (HVAC + TAC), Smart Lighting and MG on Training Project Coordinator: CEEC State: Project submitted in 2010, rejected via a resolution issued in 2011. Partners: Centre of Applied Research – Sustainable Energy Technology (Germany) and Environment Park S.p.A. – Parco Scientifico e Tecnologico per l’Ambiente (Italy). Project oriented towards optimizing energy efficiency in operating or maintaining new or existing buildings. Activities to be carried out by CEEC: coordinating and directing the project, as well as carrying out pilot projects, effecting communication and disseminating knowledge, and training end users. ICT4E+ Project Coordinator: CEEC State: Project submitted in 2010, rejected via a resolution issued in 2011. On 2 December 2010, the CEEC and several of its member companies submitted the project, Bringing Together Energy-Efficiency Stakeholders to Foster the Role of ICT in Low or Zero-Energy Neighbourhoods (ICT4E+), to the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) for technological research and development. This project focuses on fostering the use of ICT to achieve low or zero-energy neighbourhoods. CEEC’s duties: coordinating and directing the project, effecting communication and disseminating knowledge, and identifying areas for ICT standardization. MARIE Project Coordinator: ACC1Ó State: Project approved in 2011, pending kick-off in April-May 2011.

EUROPEAN UNION PROJECTS

The European Union recently approved the MARIE project (Mediterranean Building Rethinking for Energy Efficiency Improvement). The CEEC is participating together with the ACC1Ó (the Catalan agency for support to enterprise), the Catalan Department of the Environment and Housing (DMAH) and the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC). This project aims to establish the socio-economic conditions for enhancing energy efficiency in the stock of existing buildings in the Mediterranean Region. The CEEC will be responsible for collaborating in drawing up modifications to the Eco-Efficiency Decree of Catalonia and the pilot project for centralized domestic hot water systems in housing with an ESCO contract model.

CEEC PROJECTS 2010 As a result of the different activities carried out by the working groups over the course of 2010, the following projects were carried out:

• Drawing up a document on the analysis of electric vehicle charging solutions at private parking facilities. The document was submitted to the government user private parking facility in Barcelona. The document was submitted to the appropriate government offices, specifically the Government of Catalonia and the Spanish Ministry of Industry. A press conference was also held and the following newspapers and television channels reported on it: AVUI, TV3, La Vanguardia, Cinco Días, ABC, Expansión and others.

• Amendment to the Horizontal Property Act, 2010. “Establishment of electric vehicle charge points in general property managed by a council of owners as an exclusive element of said property by a vote of 1/3 of the owners.”

• Project under the auspices of CEEC on Fostering Electric and Advanced Vehicles (IVEA). This study on electric mobility has been entrusted to the Institut Cerdà by CEEC, Gas Natural Fenosa, Fundació Francisco Corell, the Catalan Energy Institute (ICAEN), the Greater Barcelona Metropolitan Transport Agency (EMT), the Barcelona Provincial Council and the Barcelona City Council with the aim of proposing specific solutions and recommendations for adaptation of mobility policy to fit electric vehicle needs. The project will be completed by the 1st or 2nd quarter of 2011.

• SALICRÚ and COMSA EMTE MEDIO AMBIENTE launched a new working group within the CEEC to analyze the market for 100kW micro-cogeneration (micro CHP) and fostering the use of biogas as a fuel, using 100kW micro-turbines. To present a

solid, competitive offer, the companies decided to compete in the tendering process as a UTE (temporary association of companies) and won the contract for the wastewater treatment plant of Sitges – Sant Pere de Ribes.

• The CEEC’s DHC Working Group presented a study on connecting buildings to district heating and cooling networks at a seminar organized by the Catalan Energy Institute (ICAEN). The study analyzes two cases of new buildings and one case of an existing building.

• Installation of an EV charge point in a multiple-user private parking facility in Barcelona. The aim of this study is to analyze the technological barriers to the generalization of electric vehicles.

• Carrying out viability studies for thermally activated cooling according to the ESCO contract model.

• Drawing up a document establishing the positioning of business sector (ESCO contract model) for public lighting energy service tendering processes.

• Project for a Testing Platform for Introducing the Electric Vehicle in Catalonia (PIVEC). • Award of a subsidy for Innovative Business Associations (AEI). The projects submitted were Thermally Activated Cooling; Monitoring and Climate Control of Poultry Farms and the IVEA Electric Mobility Project.

Jornada tècnica Xarxes de calor i fred de districte a Catalunya. 25 d’octubre de 2010 Els sistemes basats en xarxes de districte produeixen energia tèrmica en unes instal·lacions centralitzades i la distribueixen fins als usuaris mitjançant un conjunt de canonades aïllades a través d’un fluid que pot ser vapor, aigua calenta i/o aigua freda.

Amb la col·laboració de:

Les xarxes de districte, per una banda milloren l’eficiència energètica del sector serveis i edificació ja que ofereixen sistemes de climatització amb un consum energètic menor. Per altra banda, permeten augmentar la utilització de les energies renovables i la generació energètica més eficient. Actualment, a Catalunya només hi ha set xarxes de districte, però es un sector amb grans oportunitats de creixement. És per això que l’ICAEN organitza aquesta jornada, amb la participació de l’Agència Danesa de l’Energia que compartirà la seva experiència en aquest camp a Dinamarca, on aquesta tecnologia està més consolidada.
