2) Project Summary EESI2020

• Vision
• Broad roll-out of Energy Performance Contracting
  (EPC) programmes and their integration in local
  and regional energy plans in European cities and
  regions
• Main target groups
• Representatives from targeted cities or regions
  that will be directly consulted in the concrete
  implementation of EPC projects in their
  communities
• Potential EPC project facilitators who have the
  chance to participate in training session and
  become multipliers for the EPC concept in their
  regions
• Major outputs
• Systematic EPC developments in major cities and
  metropolitan regions, such as Antwerp, Barcelona,
  Berlin, Dublin, Graz, Oslo, Prague, Sofia, and
  Zagreb
• EPC training materials and workshops for EPC
  facilitators
• Promotion media and EPC movies for all regions
• 3 European Energy Service Awards to honour
  outstanding efforts and achievements for the
  development and success of EPC
• Aggregated European policy recommendations

3) Background EESI2020

• The latest estimations suggest that the EU will
  achieve only half of the 20 target for energy
  efficiency in 2020
• New Energy Services Directive (2012/27/EU)
  considers Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) as
  an important tool for the refurbishment of
  buildings and for the upgrade of public
  infrastructures
• Many European cities have committed themselves to
  energy saving measures, but predominantly
  non-technological barriers impede the broad
  application of EPC
• lack of systematic information
• lack of trust
• lack of relative procurement procedures
• shortage of professional project facilitators
• EESI 2020 leverages best practice examples of
  successful EPC projects throughout Europe and
  launches training programs for project
  facilitators, which will be multipliers for the
  EPC concept in their regions and cities

4) Objectives and main steps of EESI2020

• Key objective
• Systematic implementation of EPC programmes in
  large cities and metropolitan regions with at
  least 100,000 inhabitants
• Mains steps
• Experienced EPC project facilitators (Senior
  partners) will transfer their European best
  practice experience on project development to
  Junior partners within the consortium
• Training materials will be developed and applied
  in EPC facilitator trainings and webinars for
  external interested parties (e.g. energy
  agencies, consultants, municipalities)
• Consortium partners will identify and initially
  develop at least 54 EPC project candidates, i.e.
  supporting and instructing members of
  city/regional authorities within the established
  EPC implementation task forces
• Finally, EESI2020 aims at becoming the European
  leading source of information on EPC facilitation
  by initiating a broad set of regional and
  international promotion and dissemination
  activities

5) Expected impacts of EESI2020

• Main deliverables and impacts
• Assessment reports of local / regional EPC
  implementation status
• Locally adapted EPC basic documents and tools
• European Best Practice EPC projects database
• Special training workshops and regular phone/web
  conferences for EPC facilitators (knowledge
  transfer and capacity building)
• Setup and support of local EPC implementation
  task forces in the partner cities/regions
• Project identification and development (54
  project diaries, 20 projects tendered and signed)
• Policy recommendations on further development of
  EPC in cities and regions (incl. European
  position paper)
• Creation of EESI2020 promotion platform and 7 EPC
  short films
• 3 high profile EESI Award ceremonies
