Presentation of GA2
The aim of GA 2
 to produce intermediate outputs analysing partners internal conditions
concerning municipalities energy consumption, municipal buildings
energy-audits and Carbon Footprint estimation.
The specific objectives of GA 2
 to prepare partners for implementing GA 3
 to act as inputs to standard municipal planning procedures providing
valid data and sound analysis that will help them to incorporate energy
efficiency issues in their activities
 to provide a group of buildings appropriate for energy upgrading
interventions
 to provide data contributing to local administration’s profiles by
documenting energy issues (municipal energy consumption, energy
mix etc) and facilitating comparisons and benchmarks with other EU
and BS municipalities and cities

Methodology
 Joint
decision on studies specifications and
indicators adapted to partners needs
 Joint decision on specific cases that are developed
in each partner’s studies
 Parallel implementation of studies
 Preparation of a comparative/compilation final
report
11
Tools for implementation
 Procurement plan to contract the external expertise
(defining clear and sound technical requirements and
deliverables)
 Data collection system and methodology
 Selection and evaluation criteria
 Monitoring, reporting and controlling system (quality
reports)
12
Target groups
 Municipalities (Technical, financial and environmental
departments)
 Universities (relevant schools and laboratories)
 Municipal
staff
(both
administrative
and
technical
personnel)
 Decision
makers
counsellors)
(Mayor
and
Vice-mayors,
local
13
Stakeholders
 Collective bodies (e.g. chambers of commerce, associations
of engineers, working unions, financial institutions)
 Specific professional groups (e.g. builders, construction
entrepreneurs, specialised journalists)
 Energy related institutions and bodies (public and private
electricity companies, ESCO‟s), construction companies,
construction materials producers, financial institutions,
environmental agencies
 General audience (both as potential investors and as
sensitive and active energy consumers)
14
From GAF to implementation
Outputs
Seven (7) rounds of consultation with municipal services
about the specifications of studies and preselection of
buildings
Specifications for 4 types of studies
Six (6) studies on energy consumption, energy mix and
relevant characteristics on a municipal level
One (1) consumption assessment tool (e-tool) for buildings
Five (5) Municipalities Carbon Footprint estimation studies
Five (5) Energy saving intervention practices at buildings with
the application of Life Cycle Analysis principles
Municipal Energy Audit
Goals:
 establishes where and how buildings and facilities use energy and
identifies opportunities for energy and cost savings
 reveals annual energy use and costs, costs of suggested
improvements, potential savings, and the length of time that will be
needed to recoup improvement costs
 provides data that a municipality will need to create a Carbon
Footprint
 develops
emissions
policies
aimed
at
reducing
greenhouse
gas
(GHG)
 recommendations that can range from improved energy data
management to appropriate energy-saving technologies, to structural
improvements and system retrofits, to behavior change strategies for
energy conservation.
Tool (e-tool) for evaluating energy consumption in
buildings
Benefits:
 Improved understanding of effective energy data
on long-term performance of buildings and building
systems
 Knowledge
Goals about the main factors influencing
actual energy uses in buildings and specific
interactions between them
Opportunities for the development of energy saving
technologies taking into consideration both the
building and the user related energy use, and the
prediction of expected energy use in new and
retrofitting buildings
Support for standardization and benchmarking of
actual energy use in buildings
Municipality Carbon Footprint estimation study
 A Municipal Carbon Footprint measures the
impact of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
produced by local government operations in a
given year.
 Creating a footprint is the first step to
reducing Goals
municipal GHG emissions.
 The footprint will detail the sources of
emissions so that actions can be focused on the
largest emitters.
 The footprint will also enable a municipality to
track its progress and determine if new policies
are having an impact.
 Reporting the footprint can be a powerful tool
for galvanizing public interest and support for
new actions.
Energy saving intervention practices at buildings with the
application of Life Cycle Analysis principles
Life Cycle Assessment is the only method that
assesses the environmental impacts of a
certain product or activity (a system of
Goals
products) over its entire life cycle.
The main goal of the method is to lessen the
environmental impacts of products and
services by guiding the decision-making
process. For companies, designers, and
governments,
life
cycle
assessment
represents a decision-making aid tool for
implementing sustainable development.
Expected results
Providing valid data and produce sound analysis on two fields of
intervention (1) municipal buildings and (2) energy consumption on
municipal level
Providing a portfolio of buildings appropriate for energy upgrading
interventions that can be the starting point or/and critical mass for each
municipality to announce a call for expression of interest for potential
investors; exploiting PPP‟s schemes in such way
Upgrading of municipalities profiles on energy sector and making
them more comparable to other cities profiles improving city branding
and marketing efforts
BSBEEP - Expectations and Added Value
 exchanging knowledge,
best practices
information
and
 reliable base studies for short and
midterm planning on energy efficiency
matters
 to train practically target groups on energy
efficiency matters and to sensibilise wider
audience
 BS
region
and
local
partnerships,
strengthen project's sustainability and
capitalisation of its results
 support for developing further EU projects
