Executive summary
The 50000&1 SEAPs project provides a coherent approach to integrating Energy
Management Systems (EnMS) with Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs) according to
energy management standard such as ISO 50001and European Energy Award, as quality
management certification system for municipalities committed to sustainable energy
planning. It aims to help municipalities overcome the barriers blocking institutionalisation of
their action plans and reinforce internal structures and procedures for high-quality, long-term,
energy policy and planning. This ensures that sustainable approaches to local energy policy
and planning are spread and strengthened further across Europe.
The 50000&1 SEAPs project has organized two Open Training Sessions addressing key
actors - Local Authorities and their supporting structures with the objective of sharing
knowledge and providing hands-on support to the set up and implementation of the
EnMS+SEAP approach.
Starting from the practical experiences of the consortium partners and the work of the
municipalities that are currently implementing this methodology, the sessions provided an
opportunity for participants to learn more about the 50000&1 SEAPs approach. The sessions
shared tips, tools, and recommendations, and the opportunity to discuss in groups the
challenges and barriers to the implementation of sustainable energy action planning with a
focus on energy management.
The discussions highlighted how data collection remains a key barrier to be overcome in
order to plan appropriately and consistently with a clear baseline. Not only data remain hard
to access at an appropriate quality level, but often the cooperation with distribution operators
remains simply on a voluntary basis instead of being regulated by law. This results in very
diverse panorama through European States. Financing is also a major concern for
municipalities, which face not only difficulties in providing adequate investments for the
implementation of specific measures, but also the challenges of funding expert positions able
to carry out the work for the municipality, or for a group of them (e.g. joint funding for a local
energy managers). Finally, a wide range of specific contexts and situations can impact on the
success of the EnMS+ SEAPs. It is therefore crucial to fully understand the local context in
order to plan the measures and optimize the results. This includes decisions on what
technologies to use for RES generation, as well the identification of buildings for energy
efficiency measures with highest impact on cost and emission reduction.
A strong political commitment is a precondition for the successes of the EnMS+SEAP
approach as it requires medium-term vision as well as adequate resources (both financial
and in terms of capacity) for its implementation.
Cooperation with all relevant stakeholders (public, private, non-profit, etc) is key to a
successful implementation of the measures identified, and fostering bottom-up initiatives can
prove to be a strong asset for the successful implementation of the measures. For this

5
www.500001seaps.eu
reason effective communication is important not only in securing support, but also to build an
alliance for the success of these measures with the society and the relevant stakeholders.
Finally, linking and exchanging with other municipalities across Europe facing similar
challenges and looking for innovative solutions is crucial in order to acquire additional
knowledge. Peer-to-peer exchanges as well as coaching opportunities (such as the ones
provided by the 50000&1 SEAPs project within its coaching programme) are key to learn
new approaches, share tools and recommendation to move from planning to effective
implementation.

Introduction
The 50000&1 SEAPs project organized two training session open to municipalities, regional
authroties and energy stakeholders at European level. The two sessions took place in
Brussels in June 2015 and 2016, during the European Sustainable Energy Week.
This report will briefly zoom-in on the results of the sessions, highlighting the main findings,
recommendations and the best examples of implementation.
The aim of the sessions was to provide first-hand support and knowledge to local
governments and their partners interested in exploring and implementing the integration of
Energy Management Systems (EnMS) with local Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs)
according to standards such as ISO 50001.
The programmes of the two sessions were developed in line with the development of the
50000&1 SEAPs activities, and shared insight on the tools and support guidelines made
available by the project. The sessions focused on sharing direct experiences from
experienced and formerly non-experienced municipalities and EnM-SUPPORTERS on the
EnMS+SEAP approach proposed by the project.
The sessions provided an opportunity to:
Transfer knowledge, and implement peer-to-peer exchanges on the benefits and
challenges of the 50000&1 SEAP approach;
Share best practices and results obtained by the partners, as well as by the
municipalities implementing the approach on their territory;
Identify EnMS standards applicable to this methodology and their benefits (e.g.
Energy Award), and explore synergies with relevant initiatives;
Discuss specific challenges and barriers with a variety of stakeholders, and explore
multiple solutions in small discussion groups – for example: how to implement
EnMS for groups of Municipalities implementing joint SEAPs, or what to do if the
SEAP is already in place;
Reflect upon the potential of this approach in increasing the confidence of third
parties (e.g. national level, or investors) towards the municipality implementing it

OPEN TRAINING SESSION: ENERGY
MANAGEMENT for SUSTAINABLE ACTION
PLANS
18 June 2015 - Brussels
The first Open Training Session on 50000&1 SEAPs – Energy management for sustainable
action plans was intended to deepen the knowledge on the EnMS+SEAP approach. In
particular, following issues were
investigated: practical steps, sharing
of best practices as well as tips and
tools by experienced municipalities
and EnM-SUPPORTERS.
The event was held in Brussels
(Xunta de Galicia - Rue de la Loi 38)
and gathered 48 participants, the
majority of whom come from
Romania, France, Italy and Poland.
Among others, the following
Municipalities were represented at the
workshop: Timisoara, Villanova di
Camposanpiero (the Municipalities´ Federation of Camposanpierese attended the event as
well), Smiltene, Muret, Ineu, Resita, Daugavpils, Sigulda, Dzierżoniów, Sztum, Rhodope,
Żyraków, and Likovrisi-Pefki.
At the end of the workshop participants have been invited to complete an anonymous
questionnaire aimed at encouraging them to give frank feedbacks to help the assessment of
results and improvement of the next training event. Twenty-four participants returned the
questionnaire filled. The feedbacks included a first section of questions regarding the general
assessment and a second one asking for more specific statements.
1. General Assessment
Considering the level of knowledge on the integration between SEAPs and Energy
Management (see data in the table below), we can first of all notice that the majority of the
attendees had either a fair or a good knowledge of the topic discussed. What is worth
noticing is the fact that – according to what the respondents stated – a relative increase in
the level of knowledge occurred after attending the workshop (once the session was
Picture 2: Participants are introduced with the agenda

8
www.500001seaps.eu
concluded, in fact, none of the participants declared to have a poor/very poor level of
knowledge – as they did prior to the event).
Besides that, we can positively note that the level of “fair” knowledge decreased from around
26% to almost 9%, while there was a significant increase of both the “good” and “very good”
level of knowledge (respectively from 39% to 52% and from 13% to 39%).
The observations made above can also be made if we take into consideration the second
topic of the session, that is to say energy management and the application of standards.
As far as this second issue is
concerned and as shown from the table
below (table 2), the level of knowledge
underwent a general improvement after
the session took place: the most
significant observations in this regard
concern the decrease in the level of
poor and fair knowledge (of 17% in both
cases) and the increase in the level of
good knowledge (from 30% to 52%).
If we turn our attention to the level of
satisfaction expressed by the
participants (see table 3), we can
overall state that the majority of the
respondents seem to have appreciated
how the session was conducted.

With regard to the first question concerning the content of the training session, it emerges
that 17% of the attendees describe themselves as fairly satisfied, while the remaining 82% is
either satisfied (39%) or extremely satisfied (43%).
A second question was intended to
investigate the level of satisfaction
connected with the style, delivery and
helpfulness of the moderator: only a little
percentage of the participants (around
4%) stated to be either poorly or fairly
satisfied while almost the half of the
attendees declared to be satisfied
(47,8%) or very satisfied (43,5%).
Finally, a third and last question
addressed the style, delivery and content
of the presentations given during the day.
Feedbacks in this regard can be grouped
as follow: a 9% of fairly satisfied
participants, a 61% of satisfied attendees and a remaining 30% of very satisfied respondents

2. Specific Statements
As mentioned above a second part of the questionnaire focused on open questions
regarding specific contents of various nature.
Among the topics addressed by the presentations, the ones that participants pointed out as
the most useful are the following: the existing relation between European Energy Award
(EEA) on the one hand and 50001&SEAPs on the other hand, the insight given on how to
efficiently develop and implement SEAPs, and the practical experiences coming from the
municipalities (especially those in Poland and Greece).
Although the information provided during the Session was found generally useful,
participants found the delivery style of the OPTIMUS presentation difficult to comprehend, as
well as the presentations delivered by EEA and the Federazione dei Comuni del
Camposanpierese (each of which was mentioned by just one participant).
Other complaints concern those topics which the participants would have liked to see
covered, that is to say: financing, the exact approach and method of 50001 ISO, as well as
the point of view of CEN.
When confronted with the question of whether they will pass the information to others, the
great majority of the respondents (18 out of 24) answered affirmatively.
The reasons of the enthusiasm accorded to the workshop are various: some attendees saw
the Open Training Session as an occasion to share useful knowledge and interesting
material with practitioners; one of the respondents underlined how ISO 50001 is becoming
increasingly important in Belgium from a legal point of view, while some others pointed out
the fact that ENMS are an important tool to improve energy-efficiency in public owned
buildings as well as for saving money.

Most attendees expressed the intention to sustain and update their knowledge on the topic in
the future (20 out of 24), while just one declared to be unsure.
What is more, about three quarters of the participants expressed the wish to be kept updated
about activities and news related to 50000&1 SEAPs.
Finally, a relatively high amount of comments has been collected in the last open questions.
As a general statement, a good number of participants expressed compliments on the job
done during the workshop. What turned out to be most appreciated is the way in which the
session has been organised, alongside with the content and usefulness of the presentations.
3. Working group discussion – outcomes
Participants, divided three groups were asked to discuss the implementation of the
50000&1+SEAPs methodology in groups of municipalities opting for a joint PAES, as well as
in municipalities with an already existing SEAPs. A third group discussed how to implement
the EnMS digging into the best practice from Ourense. The discussion was kicked off thanks
to brief, snap-shot presentations of the topics. Each round of discussion lasted twenty
minutes, at the end of which the groups would shift to a new topic, ending up discussing all
topics, before a brief wrap-up by the moderator of each groups, which included all the main
outputs of the discussion.
N.1 - EnMS for groups of Municipalities and joint SEAPs
Key factors for replication of examples:
Political commitment
Involvement of the private sector in energy planning, mostly concerning the industry
sector companies
Push the private companies to be certified (environment/ISO 50001)
Joint SEAPs for small municipalities is more easy than the biggest
Work together means to reach funds (Poland experience)
Key issues and options:
There are groups of municipalities developing (with developed) EEA
Experience coming from conurbations in SEAPs development
Identify synergies (common measures)
Save money thanks to energy consumption reduction
Challenges and potential solutions:
A single energy office for groups of municipalities (FRA)
Intelligent energy contracts
Group of municipalities buy energy together
Agreements between municipalities and D.S.O. (data collection) *linked also to next
step “problems”
Two conurbations developing a common EnMS (FRA)
EEA is becoming stringent and focused on group of municipalities (FRA)

12
www.500001seaps.eu
Problems:
Collaboration between LGs and energy suppliers / DSO *
Availability of energy consumption data in private sectors (all) *
Data segmentation *
Definition of the energy performance of the territories before to plan *
Municipalities don’t share offices and departments (not all) *
Sometimes (conurbation) municipalities stop to collaborate at the end of the
projects
Difficulties in stakeholder involvement (mostly coming for the industrial sector)
N.2 - EnMS and already existing SEAPs
Model role of public authorities
pay attention to the less efficient buildings => show and disseminate the results in
an attractive way
focus on top 10 buildings
50:50 approach
Promote the results and savings achieved
Issue of BEI – data collection
energy utilities -> political pressure to facilitate data
reference year
small municipalities without technical team -> common representative for different
villages
transport data -> estimated data “road counters”
-> local registration of vehicles
-> public transport studies
N.3 - EnMS and SEAPs Development Diputaciòn Ourense experience
Continuity
Networking with similar cities
Trainings are extremely important (outside the city hall!)
First define a user
Good communication
BEI before SEAPs!
BEI based on complete, bottom-up data
Top management needs to be involved from the start
EnMS as a good monitoring tool
Cross disciplinary good team
Involve stakeholders
Money for external consultancy
Involving financing responsibilities
Motivation (different types, eg. extra vacation, legal)

13
www.500001seaps.eu
Voluntary competitions to reduce energy => changing of behaviour (eg. energy
academy etc.)
Tools to reduce energy consumption (responsibilities for energy managers)
Checking of coherence of data / performance (responsibilities for energy
managers)
EnMS is also a monitoring tool for municipalities with SEAPs
No super tools needed to track the behaviour (consumption)
Just get started!

2nd OPEN TRAINING SESSION: ENERGY
MANAGEMENT for SUSTAINABLE ACTION
PLANS
The second Open Training Session “50000&1 SEAPs –
Energy management for sustainable action plans” was
intended to deepen the knowledge on the EnMS+SEAP
approach. In particular, the following issues were
investigated: practical steps, sharing of best practices
as well as tips and tools by experienced municipalities
and EnM-SUPPORTERS on the implementation of the
SEAP+EnMS approach.
The event was held in Brussels (Thon Hotel - Rue de la
Loi 75) and gathered 37 participants, the majority of
whom came from Romania, France, and Italy.
Among the others the following Municipalities were
represented at the workshop: Sannicolau Mare, Lorient,
Chepelare, Ourense, Ujbuda and others.
At the end of the workshop participants have been
invited to complete an anonymous questionnaire aimed
at encouraging them to give frank feedbacks to help the
assessment of results and improvement of the next
training event. Thirteen participants returned the
questionnaire filled. The feedbacks included a first section of questions regarding the general
assessment and a second one asking for more specific statements.
1. General Assessment
Considering the level of knowledge on the integration between SEAPs and Energy
Management (see data in the graph below), we can first of all notice that the majority of the
attendees had either a fair or a good knowledge of the topic discussed. What is worth
noticing is the fact that – according to what the respondents stated – a relative increase in
the level of knowledge occurred after attending the workshop (once the session was
concluded, in fact, none of the participants declared to have a poor/very poor level of
knowledge – on the contrary of what had happened prior to the event).
Picture 5: Romanian MEP Grapini

Besides that, we can positively note that the level of “fair” knowledge decreased, while there
was a significant increase of both the “good” and “very good” level of knowledge.
The remarks made above can also be made if we take into consideration the second topic of
the session, that is to say energy management and the application of standards (e.g.
ISO50001).
As far as this second issue is concerned, and as shown from the table below (table 2), the
level of knowledge underwent a general improvement after the session took place: the most
significant observations in this regard concern the improvement from very poor/poor and fair
knowledge to good and very good knowledge.

If we turn our attention to the level of satisfaction expressed by the participants (see table 3).
We can overall state that the all the respondents seemed to have appreciated how the
session was conducted.
With regards to the first question concerning the content of the training session, it emerges
that 8 out of 13 of the attendees describe themselves as extremely satisfied, while the
remaining 5 are satisfied.
A second question was intended to investigate the level of satisfaction connected with the
style, delivery and helpfulness of the moderator: all participants declare to be very satisfied.
Finally, a third and last question addressed the style, delivery and content of the
presentations given during the day. Feedbacks in this regard are positive or extremely
positive.
2. Specific Statements
As mentioned above a second part of the questionnaire focused on open questions
regarding specific contents of various nature.
Among the topics addressed by the presentations, the ones that participants pointed out as
the most useful are the best practice cases shared from the direct experience of other
municipalities, as well as the insights on the new sources of funding provided by EASME.
The information provided during the Session was found generally useful.
Additional topics the participants would have liked to see covered are: the relationship
between services and municipal staff, more practical issues concerning the integration of
ISO50001 in SEAPs.

When confronted with the question of whether they will
pass the information to others, the great majority of the
respondents (12 out of 13) answered affirmatively. Only
one participant answered “Not sure”. Also, all feedbacks
about the intention to sustain/update knowledge about
the topic in the future were positive.
The reasons of the enthusiasm accorded to the workshop
are various: some attendees declared themselves
enthusiast about the opportunity to pass information to
their colleagues and practitioners “(...) in order to help
them to find solutions to improve the energy efficiency;
(...) and to increase their competence in the field”; to “(...)
encourage and promote EnMS integrated with SEAPs”
and to “complement their information” on that.
The majority of the participants declared to be informed
about activities and news related to 50000&1 SEAPs
while others expressed their wish to be informed in the
future. Finally, a relatively high amount of comments has
been collected in the last open questions. As a general
statement, a good number of participants expressed
compliments on the job done during the workshop. What
turned out to be most appreciated is the way in which the
session has been organised, alongside with the content
and usefulness of the presentations.´
3. Working group discussion – outcomes
During the afternoon participants were divided in three groups and asked to discuss the topic
of the implementation of the EnMS + SEAP methodology focusing on three mean aspects:
N.1 Data collection, N.2 Financing, N.3 Step-by-step implementation.
The discussion was kicked-off by three short practical experiences, respectively of
Sannicolau Mare (RO), Lorient (FR) and Chepelare (BG), which briefly introduced their
experience and the state-of-the-art of their municipality in regards to implementing EnMS in
their municipality. Participants discussed the all three topics in rounds of 25 minutes.
N.1 EnMS+SEAP in practice - Focus on data collection
 Is real data info collected for the BEI? And for what sectors?
 Have you established a data sharing mechanism with the Distribution System
Operator in your country? If not, what barriers did you encounter?
Picture 6: Ms. A. Jahn (EASME)
introduces current European policy
and financing opportunitites

18
www.500001seaps.eu
Barriers encountered:
Recording of data occurring at a low frequency (e.g. every 3-4 months, or even
early, depending on the sector)
Lack of data collection procedural rules
Lack of specific roles (e.g. energy managers) with specific responsibilities
concerning data collection and use
Methods to overcome them:
Collecting data from
electric bills, invoices, etc.

N.2 EnMS+SEAP in practice - Focus on financing
 What do you need to consider when choosing a funding/ business model for
implementing your SEAPs´actions?
Available formulas in terms of financing (structural funds, own resources, credit,
pay-as-you-save,
ESCO/PPP/National
regional funds, green
loans, etc.)
 How do you prioritze your
actions? What do you need
to consider? Is there a
need to select any specific
indicator?
Actions are prioritized
according to:
Picture 7: Discussion in Roundtable n.1

19
www.500001seaps.eu
municipal strategies and/or regional priorities;
Investments efficiency
Resources available
A realistic timeframe
Air quality goals and standards
 Which kind of criteria or restrictions do you need to take into account in your tender
procedure when choosing a model like crowdfunding?
Tenders need to be adapt to local circumstances. To be considered are the
financial
capacity of the investor + experience, the technological solutions etc.
Energy savings
Models for ESCOs (EL)
Steps:
1. choosing BM and funding
2. How to prioritize: cost/benefit analysis, mayor impact actions,
influence/raise awareness, payback

N.3 EnMS+SEAP in practice - Focus on step-by-step implementation
 What do you need to know before deciding to implement an EnMS?
 What are the main
barriers for
implementation and
how can you overcome
them?
Lack of data from
previous years
from public and
private structures.
