From Ugly Duckling to Superstar: how energy efficiency (almost) got to the to...FTI Consulting FR
Energy efficiency has long been promoted at European level. The European Commission has certainly made great efforts to support it and to ensure that energy savings can contribute to the EU’s energy priorities, namely reduction of carbon emissions, lowering of energy costs and increase of energy independence. The EU has introduced energy efficiency targets, created a regulatory framework to support energy efficiency and the uptake of energy efficient products and provided significant funding. However, so far energy efficiency has not lived up to its expectations, which is disappointing considering the huge amount of resources spent to promote it.
In this Energy Flash we look why the EU’s policies have so far have not had the desired effect, what is being done to change this and which sectors are best placed to benefit from the renewed efforts.

Energy Services Market: Conceptual Framework and Mechanism of FormingIJCMESJOURNAL
The energy services market is the youngest, compared to other types of energy markets, but also the most actively expanding worldwide in two priority areas: energy efficiency and renewable energy sources. At the same time, the incompleteness of the theoretical foundations substantially slows down its development. This paper provides an overview of the legal and regulatory frameworks associated with energy services market formation, brings together conceptual ideas and innovation studies from developed countries, and offers a theoretical foundations (model) of the energy services market formation based on the synergetic combination of energy systems requirements analysis and set theory. A new organizational structure of the energy services market clients’ interaction with energy-and-fuel markets, markets of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and markets of consumers, as well as a new organizational mechanism for supporting the effective functioning of the energy services market based on a system of corresponding equations are proposed. In general, the proposed framework allows the researchers and engineers to define in more depth and more clearly the system-coordinated pathways to improve the energy services market functioning.
Since 2010, the world has added more solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity than in the previous four decades. New systems were installed in 2013 at a rate of 100 megawatts (MW) of capacity per day. Total global capacity overtook 150 gigawatts (GW) in early 2014. The geographical pattern of deployment is rapidly changing. While a few European countries, led by Germany and Italy, initiated large-scale PV development, PV systems are now expanding in other parts of the world, often under sunnier skies. Since 2013, the People’s Republic of China has led the global PV market, followed by Japan and the United States. PV system prices have been divided by three in six years in most markets, while module prices have been divided by five. The cost of electricity from new built systems varies from USD 90 to USD 300/MWh depending on the solar resource; the type, size and cost of systems; maturity of markets and costs of capital. This roadmap envisions PV’s share of global electricity reaching 16% by 2050, a significant increase from the 11% goal in the 2010 roadmap. PV generation would contribute 17% to all clean electricity, and 20% of all renewable electricity. China is expected to continue leading the global market, accounting for about 37% of global capacity by 2050. Achieving this roadmap’s vision of 4 600 GW of installed PV capacity by 2050 would avoid the emission of up to 4 gigatonnes (Gt) of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually. This roadmap assumes that the costs of electricity from PV in different parts of the world will converge as markets develop, with an average cost reduction of 25% by 2020, 45% by 2030, and 65% by 2050, leading to a range of USD 40 to 160/MWh, assuming a cost of capital of 8%. To achieve the vision in this roadmap, the total PV capacity installed each year needs to rise rapidly, from 36 GW in 2013 to 124 GW per year on average, with a peak of 200 GW per year between 2025 and 2040. Including the cost of repowering – the replacement of older installations – annual investment needs to reach an average of about USD 225 billion, more than twice that of 2013.

White certificates: the shift towards industry presented at ECEEE summer stud...Dario Di Santo
The Italian white certificates scheme (WhC) has been in place for nine years and a lot of experience has been gathered. More than this, it has become an effective mechanism, mostly based on measured energy savings, to promote and implement energy efficiency in industry.
The scheme is based on an energy efficiency obligation, imposed on electricity and gas distributors, and on a tradable market for certificates, thus acting as an incentive for medium and large end-users and energy service companies (the voluntary parties).
The WhC targets started from 0.2 Mtoe/year in 2005 and shall reach 7.6 Mtoe/year in 2016, covering more than 60% of the national target set by the 2006/32/EC directive. After the first phase dominated by deemed saving projects - in particular CFL lamps and other civil sector applications - "progetti a consuntivo" (a.k.a. monitoring plans) in the industrial sector have started to rise under the effect of the "tau" coefficient, the multiplier introduced in 2011 that adds to the yearly additional savings the discounted future savings for technologies with a lifespan of more than 5 years (WhCs are usually released for a lifetime of 5 years).
The result has been dramatic: in 2013 around 95% of the certificates due to new projects has been related to energy efficiency in the industrial sector. An interesting point is that all this projects are monitored and savings are effectively measured through on-site metering.
The proposed paper shows in detail this transformation and how a WhC scheme has been able to become effective for industrial energy efficiency projects. The paper is based on an extensive research carried on from FIRE on monitoring plans, showing what kind of interventions have been implemented, how they performed compared to the expected savings, and what kind of advice can be given to other countries that are considering the introduction of an energy efficiency obligation (EEO) scheme according to the 2012/27/EU directive.
Energy Efficiency: A Sign of Personal Virtue or an Untapped Business Opportun...Sasin SEC
by Peter du Pont, Vice-President, Government & Clean Energy Consulting, Nexant Inc.
According to the Asian Development Bank, a total of $944 billion of investment will be needed in energy savings opportunities by 2020 in order for China, India, and Southeast Asian countries to meet their national targets for EE and greenhouse gas emission reductions. Yet only a fraction of this investment is currently being planned. This talk will address the proverbial $20 bill lying on the ground and describe why there are so few takers, and what is needed to “sex” up energy efficiency so that it becomes a more broadly bankable business opportunity. It will describe different business and regulatory models for stimulating investments in energy efficiency in buildings, factories, and the transport sector.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

$5,000 (2009$)
During 1978-2010, refrigerator LCC declined steadily to
$1,000 ((2009$)

the Stage ofMarket Maturity
A “policy package” constitutes effective action
In Japan, government action enhanced market pull by
using specific (positive) regulation to provide proof of
value and positive profits
In the US, progress on regulation from specific (positive)
to general (neutral) has been accompanied by movement
on marketmaturityfrom early adopters to market

Editor's Notes
The bottom 5% of products (in terms of EE) are forced out of the market each year.
(1) Policy program used a set of complementary instruments targeted at rapid market adoption of “pre-commercial” technologies.(2) Government actions designed to “pull” and “push”.(3) Developed effective consumer and retailer labels/incentives.
Refrigerator size has almost tripled – yet annual energy used has remained the same – and real purchase price has declined steadily
Life Cycle Costs have declinedEE improvements can contain household energy costs.
Policy Assistance Network is the strategic IPEEC’s umbrella network. It’s designed to strengthen energy efficiency policy design and implementation, support international and domestic EE actions, and promote ongoing communication between EE specialists that were brought together by IPEEC. Developing and supporting PAN is one of the strategic IPEEC goals, as it is inline with the main IPEEC task of increasing energy efficiency communication and knowledge and experience sharing worldwide.
