This document provides an overview of Ireland's Public Sector Energy Programme managed by SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland). The key points are: 1) The programme supports Ireland's goal of 33% energy efficiency in the public sector by 2020 and future targets, helping public bodies lead by example in energy management. 2) SEAI provides training, tools, and partnerships to help public bodies get organized, strategic, and implement energy efficiency projects through their energy management action programme. 3) A public sector project pipeline has identified over €800 million in potential energy efficiency projects across the sector to help meet targets which SEAI is supporting through training, grants, and pilots.

26. Public Sector Project Pipeline
26www.seai.ie
• Project Pipeline identified in Strategy
• Move from Energy Management successes
to investments of scale
• €800m identified in National Development Plan
• Key aspects of the Project Pipeline
• Inform Government on required investment, nature
and scale, commonalities
• Focus support to develop strong business cases
• Targeted capital support to large users and sectors
who have ability to drive scale

27. Using energy management and M&R data….
• Plan Projects....
• ….from a structured approach
Gap to Target Tool
• Identify your 'gap' to 33% (or start thinking of 2030 targets)
• Identify the projects to close this gap
• Categorise the projects and your organisation
• This gives public bodies a clearly structured plan to achieve targets

• 110 Public Bodies reported (31%) representing 65% of
total energy consumption
• 662 Projects
• €659m investment and 707GWh savings
Electricity

Transport
FINAL ENERGY SAVINGS

32. Public Sector Project Pipeline capital support
Model to date
• Target large scale project development
• Sectoral approaches and very large energy users
• 1) Capacity development –
– energy management, auditing, performance data, project management bureaus
• 2) Pilot projects –
– trial projects to inform a large scale programme – resource models, delivery models, procurement, contracting
• Why
– ‘Primes the pump’ within the sector – spend x million to show how 10x million can be deployed
– What leadership, governance and financial instruments are needed ? What role can EPC play ? Creates the right
structures and processes for projects
– Demonstrates best practice models and technologies
– Large scale project development

33. Schools Retrofit Pilot
• Sectoral Partnership with Department of
Education
• Fully project managed by bureau
– 2017: 10 schools, €4.2m
– 2018: 6 schools, €3m
– 2019: 17 schools, €7m
• Medium to deep retrofits (Target B Energy
Rating)
– Architectural – Widows, doors, roofs, walls
– Mechanical – boilers, heating controls,
BMS
– Electrical – lighting, solar PV
33www.seai.ie

34. Central Government Retrofit Pilot
34www.seai.ie
• Partnership with Office of Public Works, shared
funding from SEAI/DCCAE
• Fully project managed by OPW
– 2017:
• 12 buildings, €3.5m, LED Lighting
– 2018:
• OPW M&E: 26 large buildings, €10m,
mostly lighting (80%) and boilers (20%)
• OPW North East: 20+ small buildings
(Garda stations and other OPW stock),
€1m, mixed measures (fabric, M&E)
• Huge impact
– Up to 75% reduction in lighting, 25% reduction
in overall demand in sample buildings
– Approx 3GWh savings in 2017, 10GWh savings
in 2018

35. HSE Energy Management Bureau
• Partnership with HSE and SEAI – 50/50 funding
• Establishment of an Energy Management Bureau
• Plan to grow model into other HSE regions and grow/test to
capital energy retrofit model

• Change baseline
• Change activity metric
• Change historical data
• Must provide complete dataset(s) back to baseline
• Data is more likely to be selected for data verification assessment (DVA)

But…

55. Data verification assessment (DVA)
• Robust & complete
• Data acceptability thresholds:
– Energy total
– Activity metric (organisation-level)
– Estimates
• DVA = independent assessment of data
• May-August
• ~100 DVAs for 2017 reporting cycle
