1 International Workshop Climate Protection Potential of Energy Efficiency Working Group 1 Energy efficiency in buildings: Sustainable cities and the role of Energy Performance Contracting Brussels, November 9th 2011 Stephan Managing Director ESCO Forum 09. November Folie 0

2 What is contracting? James Watt did not only invent the steam engine 09. November Folie 1

3 German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers Association ZVEI: Zentralverband Elektrotechnik- und Elektronikindustrie e.v. German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers Association One of the world's largest electrical and electronics industry associations: 1,600 member companies 4 incorporated organizations A network of competence comprising over 5,000 experts Expertise provided by 150 employees 09.

6 The Energy System in the future Smart Grid 09. November Folie 5

7 Energie efficiency: corner stone for the Energiewende Energy efficiency is one of the biggest resources Efficiency technologies and solutions are in existence today In Deutschland könnten mehr als 100 Milliarden Kilowattstunden pro Jahr eingespart werden das Gros, 70 Milliarden, allein durch energieeffiziente Produkte bei Antrieben, Beleuchtung sowie Kühlund Gefriergeräten. (Quelle: ZVEI-Weißbuch Energie-Intelligenz, 2. Auflage) 09. November Folie 6

8 Potentials within the building sector: 09. November Folie 7

9 Potential within the industrial sector: 09. November Folie 8

10 The Investor-User-Dilemma The present situation is an obstacle for contracting in existing rental housing: The landlord may (unlike situations in which the owner s own system produce the heat) charge the tenants for costs of commercial heat delivery (i.e. for heating and domestic hot water) only if: only if only if The rental agreement specifically stipulates such charging (i.e. identical arrangements in all rental agreements of ones property), or All individual tenants agree to a modification of the rental agreement 09. November Folie 9

11 The Investor-User-Dilemma Consequence: One single tenant can prevent energy modernisation of rental real estate comprings 10 or more tenants. Energy efficiency investments are therefore unfeasible: They would burden the tenants with excessive energy costs. The real estate of the landlord loses attractiveness. Solution: Adaptation of the German Civil Code (BGB): The transition to commercial heat delivery by contracting must be uniformely enabled. ESCO Forum s proposal: New fixed heat-supply costs may not exceed previous heat costs by no more than 10 % 09. November Folie 10

12 Results of expert study made by Professor Ruhland, University of Jena Possible savings form suitabel and prompt soluton of the legal obstacles: Average results (per annum) 3.4 million tons of CO2 emissions Energy Savings of 15 TWh Cost Savings of 1.25 billion Additional positive effects on the labour market and (regional) subcontracting ans service markets, resulting from the required investments 16,000 additions jobs 3.2 billion investment impulse, wihout use of public money 09. November Folie 11
