Introduction

The REEB project (the European strategic research Roadmap to ICT-enabled Energy

Efficiency in Buildings and constructions) is a coordinated action addressing the StrategicObjective "ICT-2007.6.3 ICT for Environmental Management and Energy Efficiency".

This document is the first deliverable of the REEB project's Work package 2: Inventory

of Best Practices. The aim of this workpackage is to produce a summary of identified best

practices (collected in countries of participating partners, but also all over Europe thanks to

National and European communities developed in WP1) for use of ICT applications and tools

for Energy Efficiency in Europe and world-wide, then selecting a small set of most

representative practices as detailed examples.

As a first step in WP2, the task T2.1 aims to provide a comprehensive identification of

functionalities and associated criteria for selection of Best Practices considering ICT-based

Energy Efficiency in the Construction, including aspects related to business processes and

information management practices, with the objective of identifying the today mostexemplary scientific approach and (industry) business process.

The business focus of this task targets resource efficiency and clean buildings,

innovative components (with embedded devices) & software for new buildings, insulation

improvement, installations enhancements (in relation to heating, ventilation, hot water, ),

renewable energies integration, etc.

As a preliminary work, this document will only be sent to the partners and the EC

representative.

All partners contributed to the identification of criteria and selection of Best Practices.

CSTB gave some helpful suggestions concerning the description template used to collect bestpractices projects from the REEB partners. CEA acted as coordinator of the work package.

The results presented in this document will be used by all partners in the REEB project,

and particularly by the WP4 and WP5 contributors, as explained in section B1.3 of the REEB

Annex 1 - "Description of work".

1.Identification of criteria

The selection of Best Practices first requires the identification of a set of criteria, or

characteristics, which will permit to choose and classify the Best Practices examples.The list of criteria has been created from discussions that took place during the 2008 REEB

meetings, between the REEB partners. CEA internal discussions then led to a slightly

modified list of criteria.

1.1Different phases in a building's life-cycle

From a global point of view, the life-cycle of a building can be separated into 5 different

phases, which are:

o The Programming phase: when the client (the owner of the future building) defines the

general requirements of the project (use of the building, number of people who will workor live inside, etc.),

o TheDesign phase: when the designer and engineer precisely define the final look of thebuilding, the technical aspects in terms of heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting,

o The Construction phase: when the builder actually realises the final building, followingthe instructions defined by the designer,

o The Operation phase: when the users or inhabitants operate the building. This phase alsoincludes the necessary maintenance of components and systems included in the building,

along with potential renovation programs,

o

The Demolition phase: reaching the building's end-of-life, when the owner takes thedecision to destroy the building and recycle waste materials.

Regarding energy efficiency, ICT can be used at every step of this cycle. The first axis in the

criteria matrix will then be the building's life-cycle phase in which the ICT will have an

impact on energy efficiency.

1.2Transversal criteria

In addition to the phases identified in the previous section, others aspects need to be added to

the criteria's list in order to better describe the application field of an ICT regarding building

energy efficiency.1. Climate: an important aspect of the applicability of a technology is the climate for which itis designed or under which it is the most efficient. As the REEB project is a European project,

the following four climates are listed : northern, continental, southern and oceanic.

2. Type of Application: ICT can be used in various scopes in a building's life-cycle, amongwhichDesign & Conception,Monitoring & Control, Operation & Maintenance, or following

a Socio-Technical purpose.

3. Level of Complexity: in a building, ICT can be applied at different levels : in components,systems, or integrated systems.

4. Implementation mode: ICT can be used as a new methodology in order to improve aprocess, can take the form of a new model in a design software, or of a control strategy in a


8/60


REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1


Global Management System. They can also be implemented in embedded components,

communication systems, or software systems.

5. Nature of impact: in terms of energy uses in a building, ICT can have an impact on themain energy uses like heating, ventilation, cooling, lighting andDHW.

Remark:

It has to be stated that the current study focuses on Energy Efficiency (during the life-cycle of

the building, as described in section 1.1), and hence does not take into account the Embedded

Energy of materials used for construction, as considered in a full Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA)

1.3Resulting matrix

A matrix describing the previous concepts has been created and is displayed on Figure 1.1.

Figure 1.1 - Description matrix to be used to classify ICT for EE in buildings - proposal

This matrix will be used to describe each Best Practice example given in the next sections of

this report, thus permitting to identify in a short glance the main characteristics of each

project.

2.Selection of best practices

2.1Contributions from REEB partners - methodology

In order to gather all contributions from the REEB partners, a short description form has been

created, in collaboration with CSTB. The resulting document can be found in Appendix A.

The form has then been sent to all REEB partners on 10/24/2008. The partners were requested

to send back the forms by 11/07/2008.

By beginning of December 2008, here is the list of completed forms that have been sent back

to CEA:

- CSTB : 3 BP examples- Acciona : 2 BP examples- Labein : 2 BP examples- CEA : 1 BP example- VTT : 2 BP examples- UCC : 1 BP example

2.2Projects identified as Best Practices

This section summarizes all Best Practices examples sent by the REEB partners. For each

project or concept a short description is given, and some relevant details are added. The full

forms sent by the REEB partners are listed in Appendix B.

2.2.1CSTB - France - ERDF smart meters deployment

Description :

ERDF is a subsidiary of EDF and the largest electricity distribution network in the European

Union, and has launched a major transformation program that will see the replacement of 35

million electricity meters in France, beginning with a pilot trial of 300,000 meters.

ERDF has selected Atos Origin as architect for the information system and lead manager of

the consortium of technology firms that will conduct the pilot phase.

New smart meters are able to transmit and receive data for remote reading and optimized

network management.

Installing millions of these new meters is in itself a massive undertaking that will also

generate huge volumes of data to be transmitted, stored and processed.

A pilot phase is planned for 2008-2010 in a city area (Lyon) and in a rural area (near Tours)

which consists in replacing 300,000 meters by smart ones provided by a company named

Actaris.

ERDF has selected the Power Line Carrier (PLC) protocol for the project. Designed by Atos

Origin and its partners, this protocol enables metering hardware interoperability and sourcing

of equipment from different vendors. PLC is used for the exchange of data between the

meters and the concentrators. Then RTC / GSM / GPRS / WiMax or Internet, are used to link

the concentrators with the main AMM Information System (ERDF Control dashboard).


10/60


REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1


This project will see the installation of 35 million smart meters and 700,000 concentrators,

making it the largest-ever European program in this sector and a new benchmark at the

European level. Smart meters are one of the key elements towards a better management of

energy consumptions in buildings.

Corresponding matrix :

The corresponding matrix is shown on Figure 2.1.

Figure 2.1 - Matrix corresponding to ERDF "smart meters" BP example

Energy efficiency results :

Indirect impact is expected through user awareness (new services will be created to support

the dwellers in monitoring their energy consumptions).

2.2.2CSTB - France - Energie box from EDELIA (Energy consumption monitoring)

Description :

EDELIA "Energie box" is an Electric, Water & Gas Meters Remote Reading Solution through

GPRS & LAN. Edelia aims to offer EDF end-users the ability to take advantage of advanced

services that optimise their energy consumption and detect potential leakages or usage

deviations.

Daily consumption analysis using leak or overload detection algorithms lets the end-user

benefit from alerts and notices through different media (phone, Internet, SMS).


11/60


REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1


The "Energie Box" solution uses the following technological component : Meter Readers (and

radio module), AMR Gateway connected to a wireless GPRS network or to a DSL/Cable

router over a LAN connection, middleware server IDeMS (parameters, firmware version,

remote troubleshooting), back-office (reporting to users, algorithms, alerts by email, SMS,

phone). The solution is based on standard field-proven technologies (TCP/IP, GPRS, EN13757-4, XML)

Several energy providers in Europe have (or are currently building) a similar offer than the

"energie box" made by Edelia for EDF customers (e.g. the POWEO Energy box for POWEO

customers). The deployment of smart meters with pre-built embedded functionalities for

energy monitoring and reporting should contribute to expand the growth of such services and

products. Furthermore, thanks to smart meters the service should improve in terms of

reliability and accuracy.


Figure 2.2 - Matrix corresponding to EDELIA "Energie box" BP example


The company announces that the consumer can expect a 10% decrease of its energy bill with

only a few minutes of attention each month. Real measurements of energy savings are for the

moment kept confidential by the company.

2.2.3CSTB - France - Schneider building in Monaco using ENOLEO technologies

Description :

The project is a renovation operation which started in 2004 on four offices and industrial

buildings achieved in 1975. The total area is 10,000 m. The full implementation of the

described solutions is currently on-going.

An integrated ICT solution (VegaRW) has been deployed on the buildings acting on :

- Intelligent control of lighting, air conditioning, ventilation free cooling

- Intelligent control of chiller and boiler

- Inverter on multiple pumps and fans

- Dynamic setpoints


12/60


REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1


ENOLEO markets the Vega RW hardware & software solution which aims at optimizing

energy efficiency by integrating all existing equipments of the building and offering a

comprehensive supervision dashboard allowing to pilot, analyze and optimize the installation.

The VEGA RW solution integrates natively the latest ICT standards (XML communication,

non proprietary hardware components) and relies on a "full web" ergonomic user interface.

This case study has been selected because it is piloted by a young innovative company (SME)

which focuses its business on developing and commercializing ICT solutions for EE in

buildings. ENOLEO has chosen to be based on Monaco, which is known for its sustainable

development policy. The company won a prize from the Junior Chamber of commerce of

Monaco in 2007. The company is currently working to expand the support of renewable

energies in its system.

This sample illustrates the business opportunities for small companies in the ICT for EE in

buildings domain.

Here the list of expected energy savings :

- Heating : 20%- Cooling : 25%- Ventilation : 30%- Lighting : 10%

2.2.4Acciona - Spain - Plataforma solar Almeria

Description :

This new one-storey building of 1000 m, in operation since April 2008, is situated in the

desert of Tabernas in Almeria. Its design, construction and operation were studied in a

Spanish national R&D project called Arfrisol funded by the Ministry of Science and

Innovation as a prototype.

The main objective of this project is the energy consumption reduction of, at least 80%

compared with a conventional building in the same conditions.


13/60


REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1


This building integrates different energetic systems managed by a unique control system.

Renewable energy produces heat, cold and electricity thanks to the sun energy.

This building presents an integrated control of RE system and HVAC: the ICT are used to

control and monitor the energy consumption and the Indoor Air Quality. Various mechanicalactuators are used to control passive ventilation systems (solar chimney and buried pipes).

The lighting system uses natural lighting sensors to adjust the luminance level at each

moment of the day.


Figure 2.4 - Matrix corresponding to The "Plataforma solar - Almeria" BP example


Global energy savings are expected up to 80-90% compared to conventional comparable

buildings.

2.2.5Acciona - Spain - Zero Emissions Acciona Building

Description :

The 3 storeys, 3 344 m new head office building of ACCIONA Solar, in operation since

2007 and located near Pamplona, is a zero emissions building due to:

- The energy saved through the bioclimatic and eco-efficient characteristics of the

building


14/60


REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1


- and the energy produced by renewables: solar, biodiesel and geothermal (using buried

pipes to add hot or cold air when necessary)

This leads to a CO2free balance, CO2 being the main greenhouse gas causing global

warming.

ICT are used to control all the active systems in the building, through a programmable PLC :

- 90 temperature sensors

- 1 solar radiation sensor

- 5 units of powered gates

The same PLC is used to monitor the building and controls the energy that is consumed and

produced :

- 7 heat energy meters

- 10 electric meters

The system uses different strategies to control the air flows depending on the orientation of

the fronts.

Calculations show that the higher investment in the zero emissions building is paid back in

ten years.


Figure 2.5 - Matrix corresponding to the "Acciona Zero emissions building" BP example

Energy efficiency results :Compared to a conventional building, energy consumption is reduced :

- from 40 kWh/m.y to 22 kWh/m.y for heating- from 142 kWh/m.y to 6 kWh/m.y for cooling- from 65 kWh/m.y to 0 for lighting (taking into account the PV panels production)

REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1


2.2.6Labein - Spain - CENIFER building

Description :

The Cenifer building is a 2 storeys, 400 m building located near Pamplona, and used mainly

for conferences and trainings. It has been renovated in 2000.

It incorporates ICT-s and architectural solutions to achieve an energy efficient performance.

The most relevant architectural solutions applied in the building are floor heating, radiant and

Trombe walls. On the other hand the building is equipped with presence, temperature,

humidity and light sensors. The building includes renewable energy generation capabilities

and heat storage systems.

A centralised monitoring system tracks data sent by sensors and energy generation and storing

systems.


Figure 2.6 - Matrix corresponding to the "CENIFER building" BP example


Energy efficiency savings :

- Heating : 118.480 kWh- Cooling : 12.558 kWh- Ventilation : 6.800 kWh- Lighting : 7.440 kWh


16/60


REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1


2.2.7Labein - Spain - ENERBUS building

Description :

The Enerbus building is a 1 800 m, 5 floors office building with a terrace on the top and a

garage, the ICT-s deployment takes into account both building usage and occupancy level. Itis currently under construction and should be operational by April 2009.

Enerbus activity is focused on energy efficiency studies and audit activities. The company

designed its own offices taking into account EE considerations with a sharp use of ICTs to

improve the overall building performance.

ICT used in the Enerbus building :

- Dali for lighting management- EIB as Building Automation Network- Outdoor temperature sensor who act as input for the HVAC management systems

- Indoor temperature sensors in each room- Presence sensors

The city of Vic, located in Catalonia, has a not extreme but a quite border climate with cold

winters and hot summers. In this context the sharp use of ICT-s in the Enerbus Building is a

reference for those types of scenarios.


Figure 2.7 - Matrix corresponding to the "ENERBUS building" BP example


Global energy savings are expected up to 63% compared to conventional comparable

buildings.

REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1


2.2.8CEA - France - ALLP building renovation project

Description :

This project consists in the renovation of an office building achieved in 1974, equipped with a

recently installed 350 kW gas boiler (2004).The building's energetic performance was poor

due to low-grade insulation and lots of cold bridges.

The objective was to improve the energy efficiency of the building, in terms of heating,cooling, lighting and ventilation in order to reach a final performance of 60 kWh/m/year

(primary energy).

The following concept was applied : first, using a global approach focusing on total energy

consumption and CO2 emissions, simulations of the whole building were performed in order

to identify the optimum technical choices. These choices have been based on dynamic thermic

simulation and have been used for the programmation of the operation and for the

architectural work.

During the building retrofitting, dynamic thermic simulations have been exploited to help inthe components final choice (FCU and water loops temperature range mainly).

The second step in the concept consists in a heavy monitoring and control system that is used

to quantify real gains and operational problems or mistakes in the original simulations or

hypotheses.

ICT used in the project :

- Simulation tool : TRNSys- Wireless sensors and switches- Web-based integrated monitoring platform


18/60


REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1



Figure 2.8 - Matrix corresponding to the "ALLP Building renovation project" BP example


Global energy savings are expected up to 75 kWh/m.y compared to the same building before

the renovation program, with an increased comfort level in summer time.

2.2.9VTT - Finland - MagiCAD software

Description :

The MagiCAD software is a model (BIM) based CAD system for building services systems

design and analysis, including modules dedicated to heating & piping, ventilation, electrical,room, comfort & energy. It also features an extensive catalogue with hundreds of thousands

of products from 50+ suppliers, integrated energy and comfort simulations and can be used

for preparation of energy declarations of buildings. It is compliant with the latest IFC2x3

standard and other IFC compatible solutions e.g. AutoCAD Architecture, ArchiCAD, Tekla,

Nemetscheck and NavisWorks.

This software has been selected as a Best Practice example regarding ICT applied to EE in

buildings for the 2 following reasons :

(1) Technical reason = Advanced model (BIM) -based CAD system targeted especially for

building services systems.

(2) Practical reason = Integrates EE and other aspects as parts of holistic design thus avoidingto overload design with extra activities and additional tools for EE.


19/60


REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1



Figure 2.9 - Matrix corresponding to the "MagiCAD" BP example


Since MagiCAD integrates EE aspects as part of a global approach, skilled users can expect

huge potential gains in terms of total energy consumption of the designed building(s).

2.2.10VTT - Finland - RAUinfo services

Description :

RAUinfo is a continuous monitoring service of building performance. Based on data from

automated systems RAUinfo gives reports to the owners and managers via the Internet or

GSM on energy, costs and operations. The reports provide trends and statistics by year,

month, day, hour. Expected consumption under particular weather conditions is compared

with actual consumption. Any figures exceeding specified limits are reported to the

maintenance organisation. Early detected deviations enable precise maintenance and repairs

and permits to cut down energy consumption.

RAUinfo is a mature and useful service, leader in Finland.

2.2.11UCC - Ireland - ERI building

Description :

The University College Cork Environmental Research Institute (UCC ERI) Building is a

dedicated research facility, purpose built to accommodate an inter-disciplinary group of UCC

Researchers in the field of environmental, marine and coastal engineering.

Sustainability is the main principle to underpin the design, construction and operation of the

ERI Building. It was designed and constructed as an eco-friendly 'green building' utilising thecurrent best available design features, specifications, fittings/materials, construction methods

and control systems that conform to the principles of sustainable development and

minimisation of environmental impact.

The building is equipped with 100 different sensors, 180 actuators (temperature, humidity,

light) a centralised advanced monitoring system tracks data coming from sensors and allows

real-time monitoring and adjustment of energy consumption.

A unique aspect of the ERI Project is the proposal to equip the building with environmental

sensors providing real time data on lighting, heating, energy consumption etc along with

external environmental and climatic changes such as wind speed, air temperature etc. Thebuilding will serve as an interactive demonstration, teaching and research facility for the


21/60


REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1


design of future 'green buildings'. A living integrated computer model of the building will be

developed to address information gathering, monitoring and control features (e.g. energy use,

waste management etc).


Figure 2.11 - Matrix corresponding to the "UCC-ERI" BP example


2007 resources consumption were the following :

- 338 000 kWh of electricity

- 15 730 m3

of natural gas

- 1 040 m3 of water

2.3First conclusions drawn after analysis of the identified projects

2.3.1Scope of current BP examples

All examples only focus on 2 specific phases in the life-cycle of a building, as described in

section 1.1 : Design and Operation.

Several questions arise from the previous comment:

1. Does this mean that ICT are never used to improve EE in the 3 other phases of a building's

life-cycle: Programming, Construction or Demolition ?2. Does the REEB consortium need to investigate on these topics?

Question #1 needs to be addressed in the next tasks of this work package. Additional

investigations are needed in order to identify the current use of ICT in the Programming,

Construction and Demolition phases of a building's life-cycle.

Question #2 will partly depend on the answers to the previous question. The partners will

have to decide if there is a need, in the scope of the REEB project, to further investigate on

the subject. Identification of potential energy gains will most probably be very useful in the

decision process.


22/60


REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1


2.3.2Type of current BP examples

Two very different types of BP examples appear in the current list:

1. Examples of monitoring devices, services or software in combination with user-friendlyaccess to periodic energy consumption reports. These innovative systems can help the

user and/or owner to identifypotential energy savings through a close monitoring of the

energy consumption and an easier detection of deviations. However, the effective energy

savings (and thus the effective energy efficiency) heavily depends on the user's decisions

in the scope of energy consumption.

2. Examples of actual projects or buildings that use ICTs at design and/or operation phase inorder to improve the energy efficiency of the final building, leading to actual energy

gains, which however often need to be precisely estimated after a monitoring period that

is sometimes not performed.

In order to improve the accuracy of the future REEB Best Practices guide, a precise definition

of the concept of "Best Practice" should be agreed upon. Both previous descriptions couldapply, but it could be useful to mention the scope and limitations of each of them. The main

question is about actual estimated savings andpotential ones, depending on users decisions.


23/60


REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1


3.Next steps

3.1Correction/improvement of the selection process

The BP examples sent by the REEB partners lead to the following statements:

1. a "monitoring services" oriented approach need to be taken into account in the BestPractices selection process,

2. the Best Practice concept and its scope need to be precisely defined,3. a decision has to be taken on the scope of the Best Practices investigations by the partners

and the WP2 leader,

The proposal is to add these topics to the agenda of future meetings between REEB partners,

so that an agreement can be reached and common definitions can be decided.

3.2Identification of other best practices projects

From the decisions and global orientations defined in future consortium meetings, as

explained in the previous section, the precise scope and extension of the "Best Practice"

concept will be defined.

This important step will allow going on with the identification and selection of Best Practices.

In order to improve the quality, enlarge the scope and increase the variety of the selected Best

Practices that will be included in the Best Practice Guide, additional investigations will have

to be performed in the next period of the project. Most of the resources to fulfil this task will

come from CEA, leader of the WP2.

CEA will concentrate its efforts in 1) investigating national and international publications, 2)

participating to national and European conferences and 3) organising some visits with ICTcompanies involved in Energy Efficiency in the Construction.

Other partners will be asked to contribute, either by giving names of contacts or sending

valuable information to CEA.

This project consists in the renovation of an office building achieved in 1974,equipped with a recently installed 350 kW gas boiler (2004).The building's energeticperformance was poor due to low-grade insulation and lots of cold bridges.The objective was to improve the energy efficiency of the building, in terms ofheating, cooling, lighting and ventilation in order to reach a final performance of 60kWh/m/year (primary energy).The following concept was applied : first, using a global approach focusing on totalenergy consumption and CO2 emissions, simulations of the whole building wereperformed in order to identify the optimum technical choices. These choices have


50/60


REEB: GA no.: 224320D2.1


been based on dynamic thermic simulation and have been used for theprogrammation of the operation and for the architectural work.During the building retrofitting, dynamic thermic simulations have been exploited tohelp in the components final choice (FCU and water loops temperature range

mainly).The second step in the concept consists in a heavy monitoring and control systemthat is used to quantify real gains and operational problems or mistakes in theoriginal simulations or hypotheses.
