Deep energy renovation of government/public buildings

Objectives:

• provide a framework and selected tools and guidelines to significantly reduce energy use (by more than

50%) and improve indoor environment quality in government and public buildings and building communities

undergoing renovation

• gather and, in some cases research, develop, and demonstrate innovative and highly effective bundled

packages of ECMs (energy conservation measures) for selected building types and climatic conditions

• develop and demonstrate innovative, highly resource-efficient business models for retrofitting/refurbishing

buildings and community systems using appropriate combinations of public and private funding such as

ESPC (energy savings performance contract) and other concepts to be developed together with the

building owners

• support decision makers in evaluating the efficiency, risks, financial attractiveness, and contractual and

tendering options conforming to existing national legal frameworks

• engage end users, mainly building owners and other market partners in the proceedings and work of the

Annex Subtasks.

Subtasks:

Subtask A: Prepare and evaluate case studies on existing deep energy retrofit concepts, develop a Guide

for achieving financially attractive deep retrofits.

Subtask B: Develop business models for deep energy retrofit/refurbishment of buildings and building

groups using combined government/ public and private funding.

Subtask C: Demonstrate selected deep energy retrofit concepts using combined government/public and

private funding and prepare case studies.

Subtask D. Develop an IT-tool for decision makers and ESCOs that emphasizes low-risk approaches for

early design and decision-making stages

Results:

All Subtasks will provide material for the final Annex product, which will include, but will not be limited to a:

• “Guide for deep energy retrofit of buildings and building communities,”

• “Business model of deep retrofit/refurbishment of buildings and building communities using combined

government/public and private funding,” and

• “Description of results of several realized projects and case studies demonstrating whole or a part of the

developed model for deep energy retrofit using combined government/public and private funding.”
