  1. An emerging lead market E2B E 2 B Core Group Jesús Rodriguez DRAGADOS, Chairman of ECTP SG

  2. Summary • The market for Energy Efficient Buildings • 2. A true potential for innovation and development • 3. Other favourable bases for a lead market • 4. Identified obstacles • 5. First proposals

  3. 1. The market for Energy Efficient Buildings (1) • Global warming is today an undisputed truth • Construction industry generates 1/3 of GHG in Europe • Buildings use 40 % of total EU energy consumption • EU imports 50 % of its energy from unstable countries • We must drastically • reduce CO² emissions • and reduce our • energy dependence

  4. 1. The market for Energy Efficient Buildings (2) • A huge market: retrofitting of buildings as well as new ones, public and private for a population of 220 millions people • It addresses many different technologies, thus providing business opportunities for all at European level • Clients oriented energy services (Energy performance contracting)

  5. 2. A true potential for innovation and development (1) • More efficient building envelope • New and improved materials, bioclimatic architecture, design software • Better equipment and systems • New lighting technologies, more efficient electric and HVAC equipments, improved monitoring and control, stronger systemic approach

  6. 2. A true potential for innovation and development (2) • Larger integration of renewable energies • Solar, wind, geothermal • Positive energy integration • Change collective and individual behaviour • With more efficient regulations (like Eurocodes) • Find ways to disseminate whole-life costing

  7. 3. Other favourable bases for a lead market • Many experiments and EC projects have initiated a movement in several countries (Eco-buildings, CONCERTO, SAVE ..) • Strong public sectors are able to promote energy efficiency at a large scale • PPP contracts can ensure long term commitment and whole-life costing • New client-oriented services are possible with ICT progress • Innovations could be developed with other ETPs (ESTEP, FTP, SusChem, PV, Hydrogen and Fuel Cells, …) under the guidance of ECTP • ECTP gathers industry leaders, research and engineering groups all concerned by this lead market. ECTP E2B Core Group is organized by working groups under the umbrella of a « Think Tank »

  8. 4. Identified obstacles • No common definition of energy efficiency goals • Regulations, standards and test protocols are not harmonized • Lack of European certified software models as a consequence • Limited use of whole-life costing • Public procurement practice does not push innovation • Present treatment of intellectual property rights • If we overcome these obstacles, • the Intelligent Energy Efficient Building • will become the lead market of the Construction Sector

  9. 5. First proposals • Set new energy related standards • Harmonize test protocols for energy performance • Work on programs of demonstrators (buildings) as well as at urban district scale in Member States • Create European financial incentives based on « percent savings » beyond code, adapted to building use • New tender structures favouring the use of innovative technologies • Review the subject of exclusivity linked to intellectual property rights • Create the winner Energy Efficiency European business consortium • Inter-ETPs WG • Collaboration with DG Research, DG TREN, DG ENTR, … • Actions with Member States through ECTP Mirror Group and NTPs • ECTP WG on Standardization …

  10. E2B • « We need to start working on changes on the scale of the problems we face » • (Bill McKibben, environmentalist)
