This webinar addresses the key drivers of the PV market and industry in the coming years based on the Trends 2019. Gaëtan Masson, Operating Agent of IEA PVPS Task 1, will look at the past developments and future scenarios, from a global market development point of view to some key price evolution features. From social aspects of PV, collective and decentralised self-consumption policies to floating PV, this webinar will browse the global landscape of PV development. Izumi Kaizuka, deputy chair of the IEA PVPS Task 1, will present the trends of the PV Industry. The production of polysilicon, ingots, wafers, PV cells and modules have been growing with the growth of the PV market. The gap between manufacturing capacity of PV module and the demand contributed to the recent price reduction thus resulted in lower LCOE of PV power. Across the value chain, the PV upstream sector makes efforts to improve efficiency, output and reliability. Further progress of cost reduction is expected. In the downstream sector, players are also applying various methods to reduce LCOE.

Residential and small commercial electricity consumers will provide most of the flexibility needed in the power system to achieve the energy transition at lower cost. This flexibility will allow the electricity grid to take on more renewables and need less grid reinforcements. Consumers are happy to participate (>75% opt-in rate) via an aggregator and be rewarded with energy savings reducing their electricity. Because it reduces the overall costs of running the energy system, it means that all consumers benefit from lower energy prices. The business case is now proven as more and more countries worldwide ensure demand side response can participate in wholesale markets as an alternative to generation and the EU has provided support through its recent Clean Energy Package. Pierre Bivas from Voltalis will share his experience of operating flexibility from more than 100,000 households in France, and now installing another 150,000, backed by the European Investment Bank, while also developing in other countries with local partners.
Calculation Tools & ICT Insights on energy saving: SAT-S, Save@Work, GreenSpe...ICT FOOTPRINT .eu
The 4th ICTFOOTPRINT free webinar has crucial information on ICT Calculation tools and Sustainable ICT insights on energy savings, on 23rd February 2017, 15:00 CET. All those who want to improve ICT energy efficiency in their business are welcome to join us in this exciting webinar.
After years of seemingly infinite IT resources, software developers are facing new efficiency challenges on smartphones and IoT devices. Mobile users want more features, but not less battery life. Thomas Corvaisier (CEO of GREENSPECTOR) introduced the concept of software eco-design, and tell us how it may help lowering the consumption of IT resources while preserving performance and user experience.
Frédéric Croisson, from Deloitte Sustainability, showcased the ICTFOOTPRINT.eu Self-Assessment Tool for Services (SAT-S), a useful, quick and easy-to-use tool that calculates the carbon footprint of your ICT services. The tool helps users not only to make informed decisions about how to make an ICT service sustainable, but also discover the impact of ICT devices & activities in terms of Green House Gas emissions and primary energy consumption.
Energy savings can be achieved thanks to simple sustainable daily practices, which can be implemented by organisations employees. Karen Robinson shared some sustainable ICT practices and introduce the save@work initiative, which encourages public sector employee’s to come together in teams to reduce the energy consumption of their building by making small changes to their everyday energy consuming behaviours. Adding an element of competition to the project has been a significant driver in encouraging teams to really examine and challenge those unconscious energy consuming behaviours. The scale of working in a large office has also highlighted those practices that on their own seem to make almost insignificant savings but when applied across an office of over 300 people, have a very different impact.
Energy efficiency trends in buildings in the EULeonardo ENERGY
- Energy consumption in buildings in the EU accounts for 43% of final energy consumption and 60% of electricity consumption. There is a need for ambitious policies to improve energy efficiency in buildings to meet 2030 targets and make Europe climate neutral by 2050.
- Energy consumption in buildings has been relatively stable since 2014 while GDP has risen. Residential buildings account for two-thirds of buildings consumption. Space heating is the dominant end-use but its consumption is declining, while appliances and lighting consumption are rising.
- The EU's energy efficiency index (ODEX) shows that household energy efficiency has improved 29% from 2000-2019, but progress slowed after 2014 mainly for space heating, water heating, and cooking. For

The City of Lorient has adopted a "3x30" climate action plan aiming for 30% reductions in CO2 emissions, 30% improvements in energy efficiency, and 30% renewable energy use by 2020. So far it has installed solar PV panels on 9 municipal buildings totaling 122 kW of capacity and producing 125 MWh of electricity annually. To accelerate progress, the city launched a new crowdfunding scheme where citizens own the solar panels through a non-profit and the city rents the panels to produce electricity. The first test project at an elementary school saw a 40% reduction in electricity purchases and 90% of power being self-consumed. The city's goal is to double its solar PV capacity to 250 kW by 2020
Emanuele Cosenza, SOGESCA: Energy Review, Energy Baseline and EnPIcovcap1

This document discusses integrating Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs) with energy management systems according to ISO 50001. It provides an overview of key aspects of both SEAPs and ISO 50001, compares their similarities and differences, and proposes a scheme for developing an integrated SEAP and energy management system. Some highlights include that both aim to reduce CO2 emissions from energy use but have different scopes and methodologies, ISO 50001 focuses on continual improvement processes while SEAPs have specific reduction targets, and integrating the two can provide municipalities with a standardized energy management approach and fulfill Covenant of Mayor commitments.
The document discusses the process of developing Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs) according to the ISO 50001 standard for energy management. It provides guidance on establishing a baseline emissions inventory, identifying key indicators, and involving citizens and stakeholders.

The Province of Modena has established several policies to promote renewable energy and reduce emissions. It began supporting local governments to join the Covenant of Mayors in 2010. The number of participating municipalities grew from 6 to 41 between 2010-2013. A club and website were created to share experiences and best practices. Study tours and other educational activities were held. Funding from the EU and Italy supported municipal sustainable energy projects and ISO 50001 certification in one town. The Province of Modena continues supporting local efforts to achieve Covenant of Mayors objectives.
The document describes the municipality of Pordenone, Italy's efforts to develop an integrated Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) and Energy Management System (EnMS) according to ISO 50001. It outlines several challenges initially facing the municipality, including a lack of energy data and coordination. The municipality formed an energy team to help address these issues and began collecting comprehensive energy data on municipal buildings and lighting, as well as private sector usage, to support developing integrated plans.
The document discusses how various energy and climate concepts like SEAPs, the Covenant of Mayors, ISO 50001, and the European Energy Award (EEA) framework fit together for local authorities. It provides an overview of the EEA framework, including its focus on six areas of evaluation and levels of certification. SEAPs and climate action plans in France are also reviewed. The presentation compares ISO 50001 and EEA, noting similarities but also differences in their approaches. Practical examples are given of how EEA is used to help develop and assess SEAPs and integrate energy management.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

20. Slide 20
Lessons Learned - extracted from feedback
Stakeholder involvement (Zalau City Hall, Bacau City Hall, Arad City Hall, Timisoara City Hall)
Stakeholder involvement is essential in achieving a realistic SEAP, the more so as some information are
not owned by the local authority
Differences between types of data centralization, ex. EON, Enel, other local companies,
according to different orders
Correct communication with service providers on data requirements
Standardized and accessible databases(Zalau City Hall, Brasov City Hall)
The absence creates problems in identifying options
Availability and quality of data on energy consumption within the territorial administrative
unit is essential (for a period of 5-7 years)
Clear allocation of responsibility to the local authors
Personnel must be informed, responsibilities must be assumed long-term
Changing team during development or implementation creates problems
Start with a defined and accountable team from the beginning and continue with it
Problems identified
Lack of knowledge / information relevant
Lack of interest
Lack of control
21. Slide 21
Lessons Learned - extracted from feedback
The itself analysis of environmental quality
Knowing the situation of local pollution and other problems is essential
Involving citizens and other interested parties, may shed light on referrals
Lack of energy audits
Their existence could shed light on the issues at the institutional level
Clear database regarding buildings would help more
Statistical directions have some data at the county level, not at the local level
Lack of statistical data (often available at the INS Bucharest, but not always)
INS or traffic police data are NOT centralizes according to the requirements of SEAP
Missing data in the Halls (number of house that are heated by wood by ex., Or
number of central heating) and many others
The 2011 census collected a range of data relevant to SEAP – ARE NOT centralized locally
- or no processed
22. Slide 22
Lessons Learned - extracted from feedback
Local lack of vision on energy efficiency
Initial analysis - BEI can channel THE VISION
THE VISION is drawn by the organization management
IS ASSUMED and fall into MISSION
LACK of personnel involved in energy efficiency as defined by Law 121/2014.

Project: Energy efficiency work at 54 buildings of pre-university schools in the
city of Brasov.
Funded by: Local budget, structural funds and other sources
Duration: 2008 – 2012
Value: 49 mil. Lei
Partners: Municipality of Brasov, business, ABMEE (monitoring results)
Results: The effect of implementing these energy efficiency measures
has led, on average to increase by class energy performance
of municipal buildings under the administration of the City
Council of the City of Brasov.
Thus, from an annual average specific energy consumption (heating and lighting in absolute value)
of 248.18 kWh / sqm year 2008 (Energy class C) reached 201.33 kWh / sqm year 2012 (energy
class B).

Energy Management System in the municipal buildings in Timisoara?
To help the City Hall to save energy and to support SEAP implementation !
- EMS was the consequence of understanding the importance of measures for energy
efficiency, especially the need to monitor the potential of energy savings
allowed by the rational use of energy and the long-term benefits of
investing in energy efficient buildings;
- Energy Management System is an on-line developed tool, where each municipal
public building is registered, and it stores information regarding the total volume of
energy consumption, the data from the utility bills, meter reading, number of users,
etc.
- important instrument that enables the municipality to monitor energy
consumption in publicly owned buildings, to make consumption and budget
forecasts, to prioritise the investments towards the buildings in poor condition, to
save money through energy efficiency, and raise citizens’ awareness of the concept
of rational energy use;
32. Slide 32
Activities implemented in the frame of CONURBANT Projectin Timisoara
Energy responsible in each municipal building – with well defined duties;
Training and support - the Energy Responsibles introduces the data into the online
system;
Report will be prepared, including measures and recommendations for the improvement of
water and energy consumption in the analysed buildings.
Re-ebvaluated SEAP for Timsoara include as a measure the development of an
Energy Management System based on ISO 50001:2011
