Increasing Energy Efficiency in Tourism and Commercial Facilities through Networks Jens Haubensak, Arqum GmbH, Munich, www.arqum.de
80% less Co2-Emissions EU Energy and Climate Policy addresses substantial changes in energy supply and use CO2-redcution by 2050 in % Energy savings per sector in % Scenario without taking action Challenges: restructuring electric power supply energy system de-carbonisation huge energy efficiency increase
EU Energy Efficiency Directive requires member states to take concrete action Into force since 4.12.2012 Implementation into national law by members states by June 2014 Definition of national Energy Efficiency Goals Modernisation of governmental buildings (3% p.a.) Mandatory energy savings of each member state of about 1,5% p.a. Mandatory Cost-Benefit-Analysis for CHP-Facilities in new buildings Mandatory Energy Audits* for large companies Germany: Energy Efficiency Networks** are eligible and effective operational framework for local authorities and companies to fulfill their Audit obligation *according to DIN EN ISO 16247 **in Germany also the implementation of an EnMS according to ISO 50001 is eligible Further information: http://www.bafa.de/bafa/de/energie/energieeffizienz_netzwerke_kommunen/
Examples for successful network concepts Focus: energy efficiency in larger companies Focus: energy efficiency in hospitals cross-organisational cooperation common energy efficiency issues multiplication of know-how, best-practices and technology Focus: environment and energy in tourism and commercial facilities Focus: environment and energy in SMEs Focus: resource and energy efficiency in SMEs Focus: EnMS/ISO 50001 in large industrial sites
Typical network structure and cooperation partners network carrier (public) initiation monitoring promotion Further Information: http://www.bonn-region.de/convention-en/sustainableconferences.html http://www.bonnregion.de/services/files/broschueren/partners%20of%20sust ainable%20bonn.pdf experts (private) moderation consultancy hotels, congress, gastro (private) ~50 organisations active participation sharing information defining energy actions
Combination of collaborative workshops and tailor-made onsite consultancy duration of one network between 1 3 yrs, depending on concept and focus some networks are evolving since more than 15 yrs (e.g ECOPROFIT Munich) Further Information: http://www.wirtschaft-muenchen.de/ publikationen/pdfs/oekoprofit_13_14.pdf1
Exchanging experiences and sharing best-practices in moderated Workshops common energy efficiency issues input from technology experts best-practices from companies exchanging practial experiences commonly solving problems know-ledge accumulation and learning process facilitated through experienced moderators
Systematically auditing/assessing energy efficiency application of auditing standards (e.g. DIN EN 16247)

Benefits for the participating organisations efficiently identifying efficiency potentials systematically achieving energy transparancy sustainably reducing energy cost effectively realising CO2-savings increasing resource and energy productivity cross-organisational learning with the experts of other companies building synergies (e.g. ISO 50001, ISO 14001) strengthening the company s competitiveness Re-inforcing the company s sustainability position
Leveraging results through a programmatic approach Case: Results ECOfit Baden-Württemberg 2005-2013 on the basis of a PPP-approach Energy, CO2 and resource savings and respective investments* Total (32 networks) Ø one network Energy (electricity, heat/cooling, fuels) [kwh] 105,410,000 3,300,000 CO 2 -Emissions [t] 520,000 16,000 Material and waste [t] 330,000 10,000 Water [m 3 ] 300,000 9,000 Kosten [EURO] 17,990,000 560,000 Investitionen [EURO] 27,970,000 870,000 *Source: own evaluation as of 11/2013 32 regional networks between 2005-2013 240 organisations 1.043 evaluated measures
Conclusion regulatory framework in Europe requires intensive energy consumers to take action for energy efficiency and management moderated networks are effective vehicles for quickly and efficiently increasing efficiency of these organisations organisations acknowledge the various benefits of their engagement networks contribute to the development of the market for green technology and solutions involvement of (sector) associations as project carriers for network promotion and coordination Public-Private-Partnerships as possible financial and collaborational framework
