Why Energy Auditing in Finland? The international climate protocols oblige Finland to reduce emissions Finland s National Climate Strategy lists the means to reach the targets Finnish Energy Strategy and Energy Conservation Programme support the Climate strategy Voluntary Agreements and Energy Audits are important elements Improving energy efficiency and increasing the amount of renewable energy sources will cover about 50% of the emission reduction targets 3

Brief history 1 Energy audit subsidy scheme by Ministry of Trade and Industry 1992 93 1993: Motiva established Responsible for creating an energy audit program 1994: Program level activity started 1995: Full scale monitoring system established 1997: Energy audits integrated into voluntary agreements (Industry, Public and Private service sectors) 5
Brief history 2 1998: Three new audit models introduced Energy intensive process industry included 1999: Systematic quality control process developed 2000: New version of calculation tool Motiwatti introduced 2001: The ninth energy audit model put into force 2002: 1000th auditor authorized 2003: Renewables integrated into audits and energy audit program updated 6
Connections of the Energy Audit Programme The Voluntary Agreement Scheme launched in 1997 a significant carrier for energy audits organizations within the VA scheme are obliged to implement energy audits high coverage The Condition Assessment Scheme for residential sector Other activities environmental and energy management systems commercial audits (compressed air systems etc) 7

Summary figures 1 (1992 2003) Total amount of subsidies 17,3 million service sector 7,5 million non process industry 5,4 million process industry 3,2 million energy sector 0,98 million Number of audits 4800 Coverage Industry: 69 % of electricity use in industry, slightly less in heat and fuels Service sector: 116 million m 3, 48 % of the public building stock of municipalities, 25 % of the building stock in private service sector 12
Summary figures 2 (1992 2003) By the end of year 2003 the estimated annual savings in energy and water costs achieved by audits in the service and industry sectors (excluding process industry) is estimated to be some 36 million euros. The corresponding savings in energy use is little over 1 TWh per year. 80 % of the savings come from the industry sector. The cumulative savings during the whole period 1992 2003 are approx. 300 million EUR and approximately 8 TWh. The savings in process industry are followed up with the reporting in the energy conservation agreement system. By the end of year 2003 the energy analysis funded by the Ministry of Trade and Industry in process industry have produced annual savings of approximately 0,5 TWh annually and over 2 TWh a year cumulatively. 13

Why different Energy Audit Models? An energy audit analyses the present energy use and points out profitable saving measures, but energy is used for different purposes (e.g. heating or process) the scale of energy consumption varies (e.g. school or power plant) the site can be at various stages of its life cycle (e.g. new) the size of the site varies (e.g. petrol station or city hospital) the scope of the energy audit varies (walk through / thorough analysis, system specific / wide scope ) 15 Different needs for amount of work audit phases reporting
Energy Audit Models in Finland 1 Service sector Building Energy Audit the basic model for service sector buildings, includes two categories of buildings: simple (schools, offices, etc) and complicated (swimming halls, ice arenas, etc) Energy Inspection the model for small buildings, light reporting Post acceptance Energy Audit the model for new and renovated buildings, tuning the energy use to optimal level Follow up Energy Audit the model to update the previous energy audit In these models the audit cost (and subsidy) are related to the building volume 16
Energy Audit Models in Finland 2 Industry Energy Inspection can be applied for extra small SME s Industrial Energy Audit the model for sites with low energy intensive production process, looks at the energy use of the building and the process supply systems Industrial Energy Analysis the heavier model for sites with medium energy intensive production process, includes the process analysis Process Industry Energy Analysis the two phase model for energy intensive process industry, the first step scans the needs for following Industrial Energy Audits and Analyses These models can be used as Follow up Audits also 17 In these models the audit cost (and subsidy) are related to yearly energy and water cost
Energy Audit Models in Finland 3 Energy sector District Heating Audit the model for district heating plants and heat distribution networks Power Plant Energy Analysis the model for power plants In these models the audit cost (and subsidy) are related to yearly energy production A model for apartment buildings has been developed, it is in the piloting phase 18
