NOW AND THEN
• Now a National Retrofit Programme and Grant Supports which have many similarities to SERVE structures• No supports for retrofitting of homes
• 200 construction people trained on quality standards• No training on retrofitting
• SERVE has 40 million data points on energy consumption in dwellings (retrofitted and new buildings)• No data on energy performance of dwellings
• 1.5MW of biomass heating in place on Heat Supply Contracts. ESCO Model Development• No Biomass Heat Supply Contracts in Place© SERVE Project, 2010
LESSONS LEARNED
• Understand what needs to be done.
• Understand why it is not being done.
Then work hard on eliminating barriers!

SMART PROCUREMENT
• Public sector evolving to procure services vs product
• Procure ‘Heat Supply’ or ‘Energy Service’
• One of first in Ireland• Benchmark for full
ESCO development in Ireland
• National Fund Developed

SMART MANAGEMENT
© SERVE Project, 2010
• SERVE – Data and process management key.• SERVE – Retrofit 400 Dwellings in 3 years.• 2013 Social housing Retrofit 500 dwellings in 4
months.• Systems needed to increase pace – integrate:
• Owner/ Tenant• Surveyor/ designer• Procurement• Timeline• Health & Safety• Quality• Financial management

SMART MANAGEMENT

SMART FINANCING
• Public & Private Bodies may need finance.• Understand where risk is - Put it where it can be
managed.• SERVE domestic retrofit 11% IRR – not
financeable.• ESCO applicability smaller than many hope
• Low payback, Low finance costs and Low transaction costs are needed.
• ESCO useful for expertise – or where traditional finance unavailable

CONCLUSIONS
• What needs to be done is clear • We need to be very smart about how to
do it.• We need to subsidise (obligation) and/ or
Tax alternative, as golden rules will ensure failure.
• We need to add scale +200% per year for 10 years!
