The municipality of Likovrisi-Pefki implemented ISO 50001 energy management standards and developed a Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) to better manage its energy use. The municipality collected energy data from 2011 onward for its buildings, vehicles, streetlights, and more. This data collection allowed it to analyze its energy profile, set reduction goals, and identify priority areas to focus efficiency efforts. Some successes included installing an isothermic cover at the swimming pool for 40% energy savings and replacing streetlights with more efficient LED bulbs. The municipality found that management commitment, a dedicated team, training staff, and communicating results were key to successfully implementing the energy management system.

4. Major Priorities
Municipality of Likovrisi - Pefki
•Efficient energy management
•which does not affect the quality of services provided
•to citizens who are aware and active in “environmental” aspects
Energy management improvement
•Public activities
•Private activities
SEAP
ISO50001

5. Basic structure
Municipality of Likovrisi - Pefki
Initial Energy consumption data mining
Energy consumption monitoring
Measurable efficiency in energy management
Baseline: 2011
Municipality’s facilities
Residential and tertiary sector
ISO50001

6. Steps
Municipality of Likovrisi - Pefki
Commitment
•Put the vision in words
•The management should understand and support the effort (allocation of resources)
•The management should inspire/ convince the personnel
Management
•Decide the scope : buildings, cars & equipment, streetlights, some of them all of them?
•Set up the team
Energy data
•Decide the Baseline
•Collect data since the baseline date
•Make an energy profile for every consumption (i.e. equipment installed, users, hours of operation, etc.)
Monitoring
•Set goals for the future and plan measures in order to achieve them
•Key performance indexes given
•Continuous monitoring of energy consumption
•Review the goals and assess achievements and failures

7. Was it easy?
Municipality of Likovrisi - Pefki
•Problems from definition of the baseline
•There was a huge amount of data, even for a small city, which must be checked and double checked!
•Information is not available on time, so real time monitoring is not possible

8. The Scope in our case
Municipality of Likovrisi - Pefki
18 admin . buildings/ 3 kindergardens / 19 school buildings
2.200 lamps 125W/250W
55 cars and vehicles

15. The results
Municipality of Likovrisi - Pefki
•We know exactly how much energy, what kind of energy, where and why we consume
•We have a deeper understanding of the energy profile of every building/ car/ streetlight
•We have all the information for :
–A better use of energy
–Redesign / reorganise our services
–Making a priority list of where we should focus our efforts
–Making accurate calculations for the feasibility of each planned investment
–Understanding immediately where and why there has been a bad use of energy at least at the big consumers

16. Key Factors
Municipality of Likovrisi - Pefki
•Commitment of the management
•Build a small team of inspired and involved people.
•Train the personnel and make them share the same vision
•Keep the processes as simple as possible
•Set simple, realistic, achievable and measurable goals
•Communicate the results as much as possible within the organisation
•Involvement of a person from the municipality management to the supervision of the system
•People working in the field, e.g. person responsible for vehicles, for the buildings, streetilighting, etc.
•It has a multiplying effect
•Adjust the system to your operations not the other way around
•Because your first goal is to have the system up and running
•Achievements should be credited to the people involved. Create your own success stories

17. 1-2 achievements
Municipality of Likovrisi - Pefki
•Swimming pool:
 Immediate low cost measures: isothermic cover (40% energy saving) – Study for use of other sources of renewable energy
Planned high cost measures: Use of renewable energy (geothermy)
•Streetlights:
Till June 240 streetlights with 250W lamps will be replaced by 70W LED lamps and till the end of the year 210 more will be replaced
Till the end of the year a streetlight management system will be installed, for better management and possible dimming.
