Energy Performance & Maintenance Contracting ti applied in the context t of public procurement Christophe Madam General Manager
The context Classical approach for energy savings proved inefficient Expensive/Imprecise M&V, e.g. need to record every change in buildings Low cost-efficiency, e.g. engineering firms and installers focused on maximum investments, no follow-up and fine tuning afterwards, who garantees the savings? Since ± 2005 the EU has been pushing EPC as Best Practice for public buildings, including: Energy Efficiency Plan 2011 new Energy Efficiency Directive (ESD)
The solutions No limitations of existing EPC- contracts, procedures, International know-how transfer via IEA and European projects, analysis of foreign EPC-contracts) Out-of the box thinking Completely new EPC - contract
The solutions Fixed remuneration EPC-project Comfort (>= current value) Bonus-malus remuneration Comfort & energycost savings Year 1 n Energy cost savings ( >= offer value) Normal project requirements ( >= values tender documents) Bonus-malus remuneration surplus value building end Year n Surplus value building end (>= offer value)
Comfort satisfaction score
Comfort satisfaction score Example average comfort score per building -> Average comfort score = weighted average comfort score temperature, light,
Energy cost savings Project Rule: Actualised energy cost savings until end of building pool, measured >minimum offer Advantage Energy cost savings = guaranteed (IPMVP) Energy cost savings realised in buildings where realisable at lowest cost
Project requirements ESCO must respect 'SMART' project requirements Theme group Theme Example of project requirement Input Condition Minimum condition score element X Minimum added value building end (*) Output Functionality Maximum number breakdowns Maximum repair time breakdowns Safety Safety pictograms present Complied with fire regulations Comfort Indoor temperature meets statutory regulations Minimum average comfort satisfaction score (*) Energy Minimum energy cost savings (*) Environment Complied with statutory environmental requirements Management Communication Minimum consultation Information Information and data with respect to project requirements available (*) Bonus-malusprojecteis Project plan Plan how project requirements will be fulfilled available
Building value Building value = Value elements Condition score per element (NEN2767) Replacement value per element (Aspen) Value element

Building value Rules during project: Total added value building in year 1 all buildings, measured> minimum offer Actualised added value building end all buildings measured > minimum i offer Advantage Minimum added value buildings guaranteed Optimal allocation of added value, namely in buildings where there is maximum effect on comfort and energy cost savings
Award criteria Fixed remuneration EPC-project Comfort (>= current value) Bonus-malus remuneration Comfort & energycost savings Year 1 n Energy cost savings ( >= offer value) Normal project requirements ( >= values tender documents) Bonus-malus remuneration surplus value building end Year n Surplus value building end (>= offer value)
Award criteria Award for 70% points on the basis of net-cost cost, this is actualised value of: + Annual requested remuneration (= Remuneration added value building 1 + Maintenance remuneration, including replacement investment) - Annual energy cost savings - Surplus value building end
Remuneration during & at end project Fixed remuneration EPC-project Comfort (>= current value) Bonus-malus remuneration Comfort & energycost savings Year 1 n Energy cost savings ( >= offer value) Normal project requirements ( >= values tender documents) Bonus-malus remuneration surplus value building end Year n Surplus value building end (>= offer value)
Optimal project organisation ESCO financially responsible for : maintenance (HVAC, lighting, elevators,windows, roof, ) and investments (idem) and energy cost savings and comfort, cost saving combinations are possible example 1. preventive maintenance now -> less expensive investments later on example 2. replacing roof covering -> also placing roof insulation example 3. when replacing old windows -> opting for energy conserving High-efficiency windows with low maintenance costs and maximum comfort
Optimal project organisation Maximum autonomy for ESCO, as long as basic additional project requirements are fulfilled (safety, environment, etc). Measures designed, executed and financed by party with best information, namely by ESCO including knowledge of the buildings, general expertise with respect to energy & maintenance, etc. Minimum overheads for commissioning party, including minimum interventions and control necessary by client (owner, user, Building Agency), no long discussions about cost and necessity of measures

Future opporunity: Full-fledge / Integrated energy-services company EPC-M Facilitates & Finances EPC-M Joint venture between public Facilitator & private TPF: - Set up of public procurement for EPC s - Funding of investment program within EPC s - Controlling the results (IPMVP, comfort, ) Operational Esco
Cash flow overview / contract duration flows Cash Y1: PPP Fedesco funds investments for energy savings made by the Operational Esco through EPC M Y1 to n: Client responsible for annual cost for maintenance including replacement => Operational Esco (EPC M) Contract duration Annual savings: used to reimburse PPP Fedesco & Operational Esco
Other advantages The public ESCO and facilitator/aggregator market is active/present with existing and new players We have a new standard EMPC methodology and manual/contract - EPC procurement easier than before, 1 quantitative criterion!) - Step-by-step user guide We have a Belgian ESCO Association: BELESCO We have a few competent t EPC project facilitators
Obstacles Still an emerging EPC market with too few projects for the numerous private ESCOs present on the market Still a complete lack of country or region wide policy support in the public and private sector The existing experienced EPC project facilitators all work together which is also slowing market acceleration (risk of bottleneck) Lack of building strategy (occupancy planning, change in use, ) Decision/sales process too long (for EPC and for EPC facilitation)
On-going Projects Igretec = local development agency and grid operator They (finally) realize EPC may be a good option after all Showed interest in Fedesco s energy management solution STIB/MIVB = public transportation company EE & RE strategy and investment potential to be presented to board They showed interest in assistance with energy monitoring & bookkeeping Province of Brabant Walloon Fedesco as EPC-Facilitator was only candidate for tender for EPC facilitation of a large EPC project in +- 160 buildings. Currently in go/no go decision process
