Energy Action Plan of Upper Austria • 1994 - 1999 • 30 % renewable energy (14 % hydro, 14 % biomass, 2 % solar) • energy consumption in new housing reduced by 30 % • 15,000 jobs • 2000 - 2010 • double biomass & solar • increase energy efficiency by 10 % • Energy Efficiency Programme • implements the planned "Energy Service Directive" • 1% energy saving/year • 1.5% for the public sector ESV-Design 051129en
O.Ö. Energiesparverband • Information and public awareness • Energy advice • Events & publications • European projects • Energy certification for buildings • Training • Third party financing • Research and pilot projects • OEC - green energy network • Objectives • Energy Efficiency • Renewable Energy Sources • New Technologies Services • Organisation • Regional Energy Agency • set up in 1991 • Services for private households, public bodies & businesses • Member of the European networks (OPET, FEDARENE, EUFORES) ESV-Design 051129en
Towards Sustainable Buildings in Upper Austria Energy performance indicator Energy certificate Training & education Subsidy programmes Advice & information Legal measures In Austria, the regions are responsible for the implementation of the Buildings Directive. ESV-Design 051129en
Energy Performance Indicator fuel consumption: e.g. 3l/100km energy consumption: e.g. 45 kWh/m²,year ESV-Design 051129en
The Upper Austrian Energy Performance Certificate • Issued as part of funding programme since 1993 • Legal obligation since 1999 • 40,000 certificates issued by O.Ö. Energiesparverband since 1993 • Further development until 2006 ESV-Design 051129en

Results Sustainable housing programme1993-2004 • 40,000 homes (new & renovation) • calculation of the energy performanceindicator ("Energiekennzahl") • individual energy certificate • individual energy advice session • 7 million m² • 285 mio. kWh energy savings/year • average energy indicator:- 2001 (4,150 homes): 65 kWh/m²- 2004 (5,700 homes): 54 kWh/m²- 2005 (so far): 52 kWh/m² ESV-Design 051129en
refinancing investment energy cost reduction energy costs energy costs before investment after investment contract start contract end time Third Party Financing ("Contracting") • existing economic energy efficiency potential • owner can not/does not want to invest • ESCO makes energy efficiency investment • investment is paid back over contract period ESV-Design 051129en
How to create a regional/local TPF market? ESCOs: advice & training General promotion of the instrument Support the decision making process Clients: advice for projects ESV-Design 051129en
The Upper Austrian TPF Programmes • interesting principle, but no market development by itself • promotion & advice to clients and ESCOs & (small) subsidy • municipalities & one type of TPF only • more than 100 projects realised • more than 15 ESCOs active in the region ESV-Design 051129en
Examples of TPF Projects • Energy performance contracting in Freistadt • 7 public buildings retrofitted • 24 % reduction of energy costs • savings of 66,205 €/a • Energy efficient street lighting in Gunskirchen • Total investment: 138,931 Euro • Guaranteed savings of 20% • Reduction of energy consumption: 24,615 kWh/a • Energy performance contracting company Acamp • Total investment: 380,200 Euro • Guaranteed savings of 71,500 Euro/a • Reduction of energy consumption: 809,000 kWh/a ESV-Design 051129en
