1 WORKSHOP Challenges, Opportunities, and Lessons Learned from ongoing Research Projects From energy audits to ICT implementa5on: a methodology applied to sport facili5es Enrico Sabbatini UNIVERSITA POLITECNICA DELLE MARCHE

2 What is SportE 2 What is SportE 2. The European Project SportE 2 will develop an approach, methodology, and technologies dedicated to energy savings in sport facili5es. We are bringing the concept of fitness from our bodies to our buildings. The main result will be a modular and scalable intelligent building management system ready for market deployment. It will have a ROI of less than 5 years and will target 30% energy and carbon emissions reducions. Another outcome will be knowledge, best pracices, and guidelines that can be used by anyone. Start date: Sep 10 End Date: Aug 13

3 Main Ideas, Mo5va5on and Background Sport faciliies consume massive amounts of energy and there are a lot of them in Europe ( about 8% of the overall EU 48 buildings). Because the building sector represents 40% of Europe's energy consumpion, developing ICTenabled energy savings soluions for this key sector will help Europe meet its targets. Some of these structures are very exciing Also, sports facili.es are unique: In their energy demand profiles (Iming and peaks) Usage payerns (long periods of low use and then short periods of high use sporing event) Comfort and venilaion requirements Facility characterisics (e.g. swimming pools, indoor courts, saunas) In how they are owned and managed (public and private) They can encompass large open spaces (muliple buildings, complexes, parking areas, lighing, etc.)

4 Objec5ve SportE 2 aims at managing and opimizing the triple dimensions of energy flows (genera5on, grid exchange, and consump5on) by developing a : New scalable and modular BMS based on smart metering, integrated control, opimal decision making, and muli facility management. This tool will enable a new relaionship and business model structure between facility managers and power providers. The SportE 2 modules will be applicable to both new and exis5ng structures and answer the fundamental quesions of how, where, when and why energy is produced, used and grid exchanged.

5 SportE 2 How Smart Metering sensor network, communicaion capabiliies, database, data processing, data management, and access and interact with the informaion. SportE 2 Why Op.misa.on opimal energy management decisions towards energy savings, looking at energy prices, weather forecasing, and the planned facility usage. Concept SportE 2 products SportE 2 When Integrated Control integrated control capabiliies: so`ware, hardware, user interface that enables the control and management of lighing, heaing, cooling, indoor air quality and venilaion, co generaion, and renewable energy producion. SportE 2 Where Mul. Facility Management muli facility management tool that will collect, analyse, and display energy demands, consumpion, producion, and grid exchange across muliple faciliies against common metrics (e.g. kwh/m, /m, kg CO2, etc).

6 System Valida5on We will integrate and test our system at the living laboratory KUBIK provided by partner TECNALIA 500 m2 Over 400 Sensors Controllable Environments Renewable energy producion RealisIc scenario development We will then demonstrate the SportE 2 Approach & System at three sport faciliies 1. A small privately owned facility 2. A public, medium sized complex run by an energy management company 3. A large public/private facility at a school with olympic sized pool with ESCO under contract

7 Pilot #1: Santa Maria de Lamas, Portugal (SELF) The facility Olympic Pool (indoor) Learning Pool (indoor) 2 Gyms (indoor) with one provided of electric equipment (electric bicycles, etc ) Energy Consump5on Water HeaIng for pools and showers Air HeaIng for large environments Electric Energy for indoor/outdoor lighing and electric equipment Energy Genera5on 2 boilers fuelled with natural gas (1070KW each) Co GeneraIon System fuelled with natural gas (130KW) Solar Thermal Panels with total area of 32m 2 (annual producion of KWh)

10 ICTs implementa5on in Sport facili5es State of the art in ICTs applied to Sport Facili5es Building Management Systems (BMS) are mainly targeted for office, industrial, commercial and residenial categories, but are not efficiently adopted in Sport and RecreaIon buildings. In sport faciliies energy systems are o`en manually operated, or not adequately controlled, resuling in energy waste. ICTs and integrated control systems, where they exist, are usually implemented with drawbacks as: poor level of infrastructure for distributed generaion and RES; poor level of demand response management: low level of adaptaion to different behaviour: (a) hours of use, (b) occupancy profiles, (c) indoor comfort and (d) climate condiions; poor level of integraion of operaional plaoorms to manage the overall energy consumpion; needs of significant commissioning effort. There is not a clear understanding of the energy consumption and demand profiles across components, sub-systems, systems, and globally for sport facilities.

11 From the energy audit to ICTs implementa5on ICTs implementa5on in Sport facili5es An energy audit quan.fies trends of current energy use, equivalent greenhouse gas emissions and related costs and recommends energy efficiency improvements. How to achieve it: Sensor measurements? On site visits and inspecions? Remotely by studying past bills and facility related documents? Content of the audit is also open to interpretaion. Some suggest air quality is relevant. Building simulaions and predicions over Ime could be conducted.

12 From the energy audit to ICTs implementa5on ICTs implementa5on in Sport facili5es We define three levels of energy audits. Level 1 Simple Audit A simple audit is a remote invesigaion of the facility. InvesIgaIon is made using past energy invoices, facility survey informaion, equipment inventories, and usual occupaion of the facility. Level 2 Basic Audit The basic audit involves a facility visit and expert evaluaion of the facility. Energy consuming devices are idenified, counted, and inspected. Through this survey it is possible to beyer characterise energy flows and potenial saving measures. The expert conducing the audit also has a beyer probability of idenifying energy faults.

13 From the energy audit to ICTs implementa5on ICTs implementa5on in Sport facili5es We define three levels of energy audits. Level 3 Advanced Audit The advanced audit involves the use of measuring equipment for paricular areas of concern. Measuring flow rates of an HVAC system, the energy provided by renewables, or the consumpion of a paricular device are examples. In some faciliies, such data is already available. In others, such data is not available.

14 From the energy audit to ICTs implementa5on ICTs implementa5on in Sport facili5es The outcomes and goals of the audiing are: The development of a long term relaionship with the client. CharacterisaIon of all energy sources uilised at the facility. IdenIficaIon of the type of energy contract in place with the energy suppliers. IdenIficaIon of the funcional areas present at the facility in quesion. A characterisaion of the energy flows at the facility. RecommendaIons for energy efficiency improvements. RecommendaIon for the next step or appropriate modules of SportE 2.

15 From the energy audit to ICTs implementa5on ICTs implementa5on in Sport facili5es Energy monitoring is the basis for effecive and target oriented energy management, providing useful informaion about energy usage profiles, seasonal changes and possible defects. Conducted review shows that a broad range of tools and services for energy management exist on the market. The spectrum of tools extends from simple automated meter reading processing to load profiling, analysis reporing and visualizaion. Following the recommendaion of the European Energy Services DirecIve, SportE 2 How module will increase energy efficiency behaviour for: Increasing awareness of energy consumpion; PromoIng remote meter reading; Encouraging use of Demand Side Management; CollecIng High Quality Data Sets (HQDS) related to local energy producion, demandside and energy consumpion opimisaions.

16 From the energy audit to ICTs implementa5on ICTs implementa5on in Sport facili5es Audit Process Part of the SportE 2 approach is complementary to the energy audiing process. ICTs HOW, WHEN,WHY, WHERE: We uilise sub and smart metering to detail facility energy flows with the aim of understanding, controlling, and opimising. How? Performance Indicators Represent the heart of a performance monitoring system, influence what data is collected or measured, and enable or facilitate decisions and energy management acions.

17 Primary Performance Indicators ICTs implementa5on in Sport facili5es Usually obtained through a Basic Audit but they became con5nuously available when ICTs are installed

18 ICTs implementa5on in Sport facili5es Secondary Performance Indicators Specific for sport facili5es: con5nuously available with How module and helpful for manager, control system and op5miza5on unit Clear picture of areas consump5on, RES and genera5on systems use.

19 Example: Pilot 3 applica5on A possible smart metering system architecture: from meters to high level data ICTs implementa5on in Sport facili5es Implementa5on needs of schemes, distribu5on plants, systems and areas composi5on. This informa5on are available with basic audit

20 ICTs implementa5on in Sport facili5es RES Aspect Energy sources are mostly tradiional (e.g. fossil fuel based). However, since many of these buildings are public and because regulaions are becoming more stringent to include the concept of net zero buildings, renewable energy technologies, biofuels, and co generaion strategies will become more prevalent. exising plants are o`en oversized Large open spaces Large outdoor surfaces intermi]ent use solar collectors, PV and cogenera5on plants. Intermi]ent genera5on An intelligent and dedicated management strategy is required for an opimal use of RES.
