– Savings of 50 Mio € and less 1 Mio t CO2 eq/year
– Local energy manager
– Energy efficiency barometer
– Public lighting programme
– “White certificates” market
– Energy efficiency contracts with ESCO’s
– Certification of energy efficiency in buildings: LNEG
– 2011: interventions in buildings (> 20% of energy consumption
in each ministry)

5. National Highlights – Portugal
Centro Habitat Platform
• 3 structuring projects
– Knowledge Centre on Sustainable Construction Materials
– Knowledge Hub on Sustainable Construction Technologies
– Competence Centre for the Habitat Sustainability
• Complementary projects
– Solar Tiles (Revigrés)
– GreenWave
– …
• DAP HABITAT Environmental Product Declaration System
for building materials, led by CTCV

6. National Highlights – Portugal
• MOBI.E
– Smart network to charge electric vehicles
• Pilot network: 1300 points in 25 municipalities (normal recharge),
50 points (fast recharge)
– Pre-paid MOBI.E card
– The technology developed will display the charge level of
vehicles, charging locations and other information on the
Internet, PDA, mobile phones or other support media.
– MOBI.E has been designed to offer additional features in
the future, such as selling available power back to the
network.
– Chosen as the partner to implement electric mobility in
Shanghai
Mobicar: production will start in 2012

7. National Highlights – Portugal
• Launch of EnerBuiLCA - Life Cycle Assessment for Energy
Efficiency in Buildings project
• Project coordinator: CIRCE/Zaragoza University
• Computer tool targeting non-experts
– Self-evaluation of the life cycle of a building
– Selection of most appropriate materials and equipments
– Information on the primary energy consumption and GEE
emissions
• LCA database for buildings: environmental and technical data
of the main building materials
• Adapted to SUDOE countries
• Thematic network on LCA for buildings in SUDOE countries
