1 Renewable energy strategies in Barcelona Toni Pujol Barcelona Energy Agency Second World Renewable Energy Forum May 2004 Bonn, Germany

2 Renewable energy strategies in Barcelona PROMOTION POLICIES information and awareness raising campaigns, fiscal incentives DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS Solar PV schools, solar thermal installations in sports utilities MANAGEMENT INSTRUMENTS Barcelona Energy Improvement Plan Barcelona Energy Agency LEGAL INSTRUMENTS Barcelona Solar Thermal Ordinance INTEGRATION OF SUSTAINABLE ENERGY MESURES IN URBAN DEVELOPMENTS Forum 2004 area

3 The Barcelona Solar Thermal Ordinance: evaluation and results Barcelona Energy Agency, April 2004

4 Barcelona Solar Thermal Ordinance Aim: to promote and regulate through local legislation the installation of low-temperature systems for collecting and using active solar energy for the production of hot water for buildings. According to this bylaw all new buildings (with a demand > 296 MJ/day) and buildings undergoing major refurbishment are obligated to use solar energy to supply 60% of their running hot water requirements. Area of application: City of Barcelona

5 The sun in Barcelona ü hours of sunshine/year ü Solar radiation1.502 kwh/sqm (flat surface) ü The hours of sunshine of Barcelona are equal to: - 10 times the total energy consumption, and - 28 times the total electric consumption.

6 Barcelona solar thermal ordinance: Approval process July 1999 Solar thermal ordinance approved by the Barcelona City Council Year of non application (moratorium) August 2000 Entry into force and application of the ordinance.

7 Barcelona solar thermal ordinance: evaluation as of April 2004 Before the Ordinance: sqm installed. 1,1 sqm/1.000 inhabitants with the Ordinance: (April 2004) sqm of solar panels (licenses requested) 13 sqm/1.000 inhabitants

8 Share of distribution by uses

9 Benefits Equivalent energy savings: MWh/year Reduction of CO 2 Emissions: tones of CO 2 per year

10 MEMBERS OF THE SOLAR THERMAL ENERGY WORKING GROUP Colegio de Arquitectos /Colegio de Aparejadores y Arquitectos TŽcnicos Colegio de Ingenieros Industriales (Comisi n de Medio Ambiente) Colegio de Administradores de Fincas Asociaci n de Promotores de Energ as Renovables de Catalunya Asociaci n Espa ola Empresas Energia Solar y Alternativas (ASENSA) Asociaci n de Promotores y Constructores de Edificios de Barcelona Organizaci n de Consumidores y Usuarios de Catalunya Asociaci n Barnamil Instituto Municipal del Paisaje Urbano Patronato Municipal de la Vivienda Departamento Urbanismo / Dep de Mantenimiento y Servicios del Ayto. de Barcelona
