Introduction
The REEB project (the European strategic research Roadmap to ICT-enabled Energy Efficiency in Buildings and constructions) is a coordinated action addressing the Strategic Objective "ICT-2007.6.3 ICT for Environmental Management and Energy Efficiency". This document is the first deliverable of the REEB project's Work package 2: Inventory of Best Practices. The aim of this workpackage is to produce a summary of identified best practices (collected in countries of participating partners, but also all over Europe thanks to National and European communities developed in WP1) for use of ICT applications and tools for Energy Efficiency in Europe and world-wide, then selecting a small set of most representative practices as detailed examples. As a first step in WP2, the task T2.1 aims to provide a comprehensive identification of functionalities and associated criteria for selection of Best Practices considering ICT-based Energy Efficiency in the Construction, including aspects related to business processes and information management practices, with the objective of identifying the today most exemplary scientific approach and (industry) business process. The business focus of this task targets resource efficiency and clean buildings, innovative components (with embedded devices) & software for new buildings, insulation improvement, installations enhancements (in relation to heating, ventilation, hot water, ), renewable energies integration, etc. As a preliminary work, this document will only be sent to the partners and the EC representative. All partners contributed to the identification of criteria and selection of Best Practices. CSTB gave some helpful suggestions concerning the description template used to collect best practices projects from the REEB partners. CEA acted as coordinator of the work package. The results presented in this document will be used by all partners in the REEB project, and particularly by the WP4 and WP5 contributors, as explained in section B1.3 of the REEB Annex 1 - "Description of work".

1. Identification of criteria
The selection of Best Practices first requires the identification of a set of criteria, or characteristics, which will permit to choose and classify the Best Practices examples. The list of criteria has been created from discussions that took place during the 2008 REEB meetings, between the REEB partners. CEA internal discussions then led to a slightly modified list of criteria.
1.1 Different phases in a building's life-cycle

From a global point of view, the life-cycle of a building can be separated into 5 different phases, which are: o The Programming phase: when the client (the owner of the future building) defines the general requirements of the project (use of the building, number of people who will work or live inside, etc.), o The Design phase: when the designer and engineer precisely define the final look of the building, the technical aspects in terms of heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting, o The Construction phase: when the builder actually realises the final building, following the instructions defined by the designer, o The Operation phase: when the users or inhabitants operate the building. This phase also includes the necessary maintenance of components and systems included in the building, along with potential renovation programs, o The Demolition phase: reaching the building's end-of-life, when the owner takes the decision to destroy the building and recycle waste materials. Regarding energy efficiency, ICT can be used at every step of this cycle. The first axis in the criteria matrix will then be the building's life-cycle phase in which the ICT will have an impact on energy efficiency.
1.2 Transversal criteria

In addition to the phases identified in the previous section, others aspects need to be added to the criteria's list in order to better describe the application field of an ICT regarding building energy efficiency. 1. Climate: an important aspect of the applicability of a technology is the climate for which it is designed or under which it is the most efficient. As the REEB project is a European project, the following four climates are listed : northern, continental, southern and oceanic. 2. Type of Application: ICT can be used in various scopes in a building's life-cycle, among which Design & Conception, Monitoring & Control, Operation & Maintenance, or following a Socio-Technical purpose. 3. Level of Complexity: in a building, ICT can be applied at different levels : in components, systems, or integrated systems. 4. Implementation mode: ICT can be used as a new methodology in order to improve a process, can take the form of a new model in a design software, or of a control strategy in a
December 15th, 2008 Page 7
REEB: GA no.: 224320 D2.1
Global Management System. They can also be implemented in embedded components, communication systems, or software systems. 5. Nature of impact: in terms of energy uses in a building, ICT can have an impact on the main energy uses like heating, ventilation, cooling, lighting and DHW. Remark: It has to be stated that the current study focuses on Energy Efficiency (during the life-cycle of the building, as described in section 1.1), and hence does not take into account the Embedded Energy of materials used for construction, as considered in a full Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA)
1.3 Resulting matrix

A matrix describing the previous concepts has been created and is displayed on Figure 1.1.
Figure 1.1 - Description matrix to be used to classify ICT for EE in buildings - proposal This matrix will be used to describe each Best Practice example given in the next sections of this report, thus permitting to identify in a short glance the main characteristics of each project.

2. Selection of best practices

2.1 Contributions from REEB partners - methodology
In order to gather all contributions from the REEB partners, a short description form has been created, in collaboration with CSTB. The resulting document can be found in Appendix A. The form has then been sent to all REEB partners on 10/24/2008. The partners were requested to send back the forms by 11/07/2008. By beginning of December 2008, here is the list of completed forms that have been sent back to CEA: - CSTB : 3 BP examples - Acciona : 2 BP examples - Labein : 2 BP examples - CEA : 1 BP example - VTT : 2 BP examples - UCC : 1 BP example
2.2 Projects identified as Best Practices

This section summarizes all Best Practices examples sent by the REEB partners. For each project or concept a short description is given, and some relevant details are added. The full forms sent by the REEB partners are listed in Appendix B. 2.2.1 CSTB - France - ERDF smart meters deployment Description : ERDF is a subsidiary of EDF and the largest electricity distribution network in the European Union, and has launched a major transformation program that will see the replacement of 35 million electricity meters in France, beginning with a pilot trial of 300,000 meters. ERDF has selected Atos Origin as architect for the information system and lead manager of the consortium of technology firms that will conduct the pilot phase. New smart meters are able to transmit and receive data for remote reading and optimized network management. Installing millions of these new meters is in itself a massive undertaking that will also generate huge volumes of data to be transmitted, stored and processed. A pilot phase is planned for 2008-2010 in a city area (Lyon) and in a rural area (near Tours) which consists in replacing 300,000 meters by smart ones provided by a company named Actaris. ERDF has selected the Power Line Carrier (PLC) protocol for the project. Designed by Atos Origin and its partners, this protocol enables metering hardware interoperability and sourcing of equipment from different vendors. PLC is used for the exchange of data between the meters and the concentrators. Then RTC / GSM / GPRS / WiMax or Internet, are used to link the concentrators with the main AMM Information System (ERDF Control dashboard).

REEB: GA no.: 224320 D2.1
This project will see the installation of 35 million smart meters and 700,000 concentrators, making it the largest-ever European program in this sector and a new benchmark at the European level. Smart meters are one of the key elements towards a better management of energy consumptions in buildings. Corresponding matrix : The corresponding matrix is shown on Figure 2.1.
Figure 2.1 - Matrix corresponding to ERDF "smart meters" BP example Energy efficiency results : Indirect impact is expected through user awareness (new services will be created to support the dwellers in monitoring their energy consumptions). 2.2.2 CSTB - France - Energie box from EDELIA (Energy consumption monitoring) Description :
EDELIA "Energie box" is an Electric, Water & Gas Meters Remote Reading Solution through GPRS & LAN. Edelia aims to offer EDF end-users the ability to take advantage of advanced services that optimise their energy consumption and detect potential leakages or usage deviations. Daily consumption analysis using leak or overload detection algorithms lets the end-user benefit from alerts and notices through different media (phone, Internet, SMS).
December 15th, 2008
Page 10
REEB: GA no.: 224320 D2.1
The "Energie Box" solution uses the following technological component : Meter Readers (and radio module), AMR Gateway connected to a wireless GPRS network or to a DSL/Cable router over a LAN connection, middleware server IDeMS (parameters, firmware version, remote troubleshooting), back-office (reporting to users, algorithms, alerts by email, SMS, phone). The solution is based on standard field-proven technologies (TCP/IP, GPRS, EN 13757-4, XML) Several energy providers in Europe have (or are currently building) a similar offer than the "energie box" made by Edelia for EDF customers (e.g. the POWEO Energy box for POWEO customers). The deployment of smart meters with pre-built embedded functionalities for energy monitoring and reporting should contribute to expand the growth of such services and products. Furthermore, thanks to smart meters the service should improve in terms of reliability and accuracy. Corresponding matrix :

Real measurements of energy savings are for the moment kept confidential by the company. 2.2.3 CSTB - France - Schneider building in Monaco using ENOLEO technologies Description : The project is a renovation operation which started in 2004 on four offices and industrial buildings achieved in 1975. The total area is 10,000 m. The full implementation of the described solutions is currently on-going. An integrated ICT solution (VegaRW) has been deployed on the buildings acting on : - Intelligent control of lighting, air conditioning, ventilation free cooling - Intelligent control of chiller and boiler - Inverter on multiple pumps and fans - Dynamic setpoints
REEB: GA no.: 224320 D2.1
ENOLEO markets the Vega RW hardware & software solution which aims at optimizing energy efficiency by integrating all existing equipments of the building and offering a comprehensive supervision dashboard allowing to pilot, analyze and optimize the installation. The VEGA RW solution integrates natively the latest ICT standards (XML communication, non proprietary hardware components) and relies on a "full web" ergonomic user interface. This case study has been selected because it is piloted by a young innovative company (SME) which focuses its business on developing and commercializing ICT solutions for EE in buildings. ENOLEO has chosen to be based on Monaco, which is known for its sustainable development policy. The company won a prize from the Junior Chamber of commerce of Monaco in 2007. The company is currently working to expand the support of renewable energies in its system. This sample illustrates the business opportunities for small companies in the ICT for EE in buildings domain. Corresponding matrix :

Its design, construction and operation were studied in a Spanish national R&D project called Arfrisol funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation as a prototype. The main objective of this project is the energy consumption reduction of, at least 80% compared with a conventional building in the same conditions.
REEB: GA no.: 224320 D2.1
This building integrates different energetic systems managed by a unique control system. Renewable energy produces heat, cold and electricity thanks to the sun energy. This building presents an integrated control of RE system and HVAC: the ICT are used to control and monitor the energy consumption and the Indoor Air Quality. Various mechanical actuators are used to control passive ventilation systems (solar chimney and buried pipes). The lighting system uses natural lighting sensors to adjust the luminance level at each moment of the day. Corresponding matrix :
Figure 2.4 - Matrix corresponding to The "Plataforma solar - Almeria" BP example Energy efficiency results : Global energy savings are expected up to 80-90% compared to conventional comparable buildings. 2.2.5 Acciona - Spain - Zero Emissions Acciona Building Description :
The 3 storeys, 3 344 m new head office building of ACCIONA Solar, in operation since 2007 and located near Pamplona, is a zero emissions building due to: - The energy saved through the bioclimatic and eco-efficient characteristics of the building
REEB: GA no.: 224320 D2.1
- and the energy produced by renewables: solar, biodiesel and geothermal (using buried pipes to add hot or cold air when necessary) This leads to a CO2free balance, CO2 being the main greenhouse gas causing global warming. ICT are used to control all the active systems in the building, through a programmable PLC : - 90 temperature sensors - 1 solar radiation sensor - 5 units of powered gates The same PLC is used to monitor the building and controls the energy that is consumed and produced : - 7 heat energy meters - 10 electric meters The system uses different strategies to control the air flows depending on the orientation of the fronts. Calculations show that the higher investment in the zero emissions building is paid back in ten years. Corresponding matrix :
Figure 2.5 - Matrix corresponding to the "Acciona Zero emissions building" BP example Energy efficiency results : Compared to a conventional building, energy consumption is reduced : - from 40 kWh/m.y to 22 kWh/m.y for heating - from 142 kWh/m.y to 6 kWh/m.y for cooling - from 65 kWh/m.y to 0 for lighting (taking into account the PV panels production)

2.2.7 Labein - Spain - ENERBUS building Description : The Enerbus building is a 1 800 m, 5 floors office building with a terrace on the top and a garage, the ICT-s deployment takes into account both building usage and occupancy level. It is currently under construction and should be operational by April 2009. Enerbus activity is focused on energy efficiency studies and audit activities. The company designed its own offices taking into account EE considerations with a sharp use of ICTs to improve the overall building performance. ICT used in the Enerbus building : - Dali for lighting management - EIB as Building Automation Network - Outdoor temperature sensor who act as input for the HVAC management systems - Indoor temperature sensors in each room - Presence sensors The city of Vic, located in Catalonia, has a not extreme but a quite border climate with cold winters and hot summers. In this context the sharp use of ICT-s in the Enerbus Building is a reference for those types of scenarios. Corresponding matrix :

2.2.8 CEA - France - ALLP building renovation project Description :
This project consists in the renovation of an office building achieved in 1974, equipped with a recently installed 350 kW gas boiler (2004).The building's energetic performance was poor due to low-grade insulation and lots of cold bridges. The objective was to improve the energy efficiency of the building, in terms of heating, cooling, lighting and ventilation in order to reach a final performance of 60 kWh/m/year (primary energy). The following concept was applied : first, using a global approach focusing on total energy consumption and CO2 emissions, simulations of the whole building were performed in order to identify the optimum technical choices. These choices have been based on dynamic thermic simulation and have been used for the programmation of the operation and for the architectural work. During the building retrofitting, dynamic thermic simulations have been exploited to help in the components final choice (FCU and water loops temperature range mainly). The second step in the concept consists in a heavy monitoring and control system that is used to quantify real gains and operational problems or mistakes in the original simulations or hypotheses. ICT used in the project : - Simulation tool : TRNSys - Wireless sensors and switches - Web-based integrated monitoring platform

Corresponding matrix :
Figure 2.8 - Matrix corresponding to the "ALLP Building renovation project" BP example Energy efficiency results : Global energy savings are expected up to 75 kWh/m.y compared to the same building before the renovation program, with an increased comfort level in summer time. 2.2.9 VTT - Finland - MagiCAD software Description : The MagiCAD software is a model (BIM) based CAD system for building services systems design and analysis, including modules dedicated to heating & piping, ventilation, electrical, room, comfort & energy. It also features an extensive catalogue with hundreds of thousands of products from 50+ suppliers, integrated energy and comfort simulations and can be used for preparation of energy declarations of buildings. It is compliant with the latest IFC2x3 standard and other IFC compatible solutions e.g. AutoCAD Architecture, ArchiCAD, Tekla, Nemetscheck and NavisWorks. This software has been selected as a Best Practice example regarding ICT applied to EE in buildings for the 2 following reasons : (1) Technical reason = Advanced model (BIM) -based CAD system targeted especially for building services systems. (2) Practical reason = Integrates EE and other aspects as parts of holistic design thus avoiding to overload design with extra activities and additional tools for EE.

RAUinfo is a continuous monitoring service of building performance. Based on data from automated systems RAUinfo gives reports to the owners and managers via the Internet or GSM on energy, costs and operations. The reports provide trends and statistics by year, month, day, hour. Expected consumption under particular weather conditions is compared with actual consumption. Any figures exceeding specified limits are reported to the maintenance organisation. Early detected deviations enable precise maintenance and repairs and permits to cut down energy consumption. RAUinfo is a mature and useful service, leader in Finland.

The University College Cork Environmental Research Institute (UCC ERI) Building is a dedicated research facility, purpose built to accommodate an inter-disciplinary group of UCC Researchers in the field of environmental, marine and coastal engineering. Sustainability is the main principle to underpin the design, construction and operation of the ERI Building. It was designed and constructed as an eco-friendly 'green building' utilising the current best available design features, specifications, fittings/materials, construction methods and control systems that conform to the principles of sustainable development and minimisation of environmental impact. The building is equipped with 100 different sensors, 180 actuators (temperature, humidity, light) a centralised advanced monitoring system tracks data coming from sensors and allows real-time monitoring and adjustment of energy consumption. A unique aspect of the ERI Project is the proposal to equip the building with environmental sensors providing real time data on lighting, heating, energy consumption etc along with external environmental and climatic changes such as wind speed, air temperature etc. The building will serve as an interactive demonstration, teaching and research facility for the
REEB: GA no.: 224320 D2.1
design of future 'green buildings'. A living integrated computer model of the building will be developed to address information gathering, monitoring and control features (e.g. energy use, waste management etc). Corresponding matrix :
Figure 2.11 - Matrix corresponding to the "UCC-ERI" BP example Energy efficiency results : 2007 resources consumption were the following : - 338 000 kWh of electricity - 15 730 m3 of natural gas - 1 040 m3 of water
2.3 First conclusions drawn after analysis of the identified projects

2.3.1 Scope of current BP examples All examples only focus on 2 specific phases in the life-cycle of a building, as described in section 1.1 : Design and Operation. Several questions arise from the previous comment: 1. Does this mean that ICT are never used to improve EE in the 3 other phases of a building's life-cycle: Programming, Construction or Demolition ? 2. Does the REEB consortium need to investigate on these topics? Question #1 needs to be addressed in the next tasks of this work package. Additional investigations are needed in order to identify the current use of ICT in the Programming, Construction and Demolition phases of a building's life-cycle. Question #2 will partly depend on the answers to the previous question. The partners will have to decide if there is a need, in the scope of the REEB project, to further investigate on the subject. Identification of potential energy gains will most probably be very useful in the decision process.
December 15th, 2008
Page 21
REEB: GA no.: 224320 D2.1
2.3.2 Type of current BP examples Two very different types of BP examples appear in the current list: 1. Examples of monitoring devices, services or software in combination with user-friendly access to periodic energy consumption reports. These innovative systems can help the user and/or owner to identify potential energy savings through a close monitoring of the energy consumption and an easier detection of deviations. However, the effective energy savings (and thus the effective energy efficiency) heavily depends on the user's decisions in the scope of energy consumption. 2. Examples of actual projects or buildings that use ICTs at design and/or operation phase in order to improve the energy efficiency of the final building, leading to actual energy gains, which however often need to be precisely estimated after a monitoring period that is sometimes not performed. In order to improve the accuracy of the future REEB Best Practices guide, a precise definition of the concept of "Best Practice" should be agreed upon. Both previous descriptions could apply, but it could be useful to mention the scope and limitations of each of them. The main question is about actual estimated savings and potential ones, depending on users decisions.

3. Next steps
3.1 Correction/improvement of the selection process
The BP examples sent by the REEB partners lead to the following statements: 1. a "monitoring services" oriented approach need to be taken into account in the Best Practices selection process, 2. the Best Practice concept and its scope need to be precisely defined, 3. a decision has to be taken on the scope of the Best Practices investigations by the partners and the WP2 leader, The proposal is to add these topics to the agenda of future meetings between REEB partners, so that an agreement can be reached and common definitions can be decided.
3.2 Identification of other best practices projects

From the decisions and global orientations defined in future consortium meetings, as explained in the previous section, the precise scope and extension of the "Best Practice" concept will be defined. This important step will allow going on with the identification and selection of Best Practices. In order to improve the quality, enlarge the scope and increase the variety of the selected Best Practices that will be included in the Best Practice Guide, additional investigations will have to be performed in the next period of the project. Most of the resources to fulfil this task will come from CEA, leader of the WP2. CEA will concentrate its efforts in 1) investigating national and international publications, 2) participating to national and European conferences and 3) organising some visits with ICT companies involved in Energy Efficiency in the Construction. Other partners will be asked to contribute, either by giving names of contacts or sending valuable information to CEA.

Short description
ERDF, a subsidiary of EDF and the largest electricity distribution network in the European Union, has launched a major transformation program that will see the
REEB: GA no.: 224320 D2.1
replacement of 35 million electricity meters in France, beginning with a pilot trial of 300,000 meters. ERDF has selected Atos Origin as architect for the information system and lead manager of the consortium of technology firms that will conduct the pilot phase. New smart meters are able to transmit and receive data for remote reading and optimized network management. Installing millions of these new meters is in itself a massive undertaking that will also generate huge volumes of data to be transmitted, stored and processed.

ERDF has selected the Power Line Carrier (PLC) protocol for the project. Designed by Atos Origin and its partners, this protocol enables metering hardware interoperability and sourcing of equipment from different vendors. PLC is used for the exchange of data between the meters and the concentrators. Then RTC/ GSM / GPRS / WiMax or Internet are used to link the concentrators with the main AMM Information System (ERDF Control dashboard)

Short description
This project consists in the renovation of an office building achieved in 1974, equipped with a recently installed 350 kW gas boiler (2004).The building's energetic performance was poor due to low-grade insulation and lots of cold bridges. The objective was to improve the energy efficiency of the building, in terms of heating, cooling, lighting and ventilation in order to reach a final performance of 60 kWh/m/year (primary energy). The following concept was applied : first, using a global approach focusing on total energy consumption and CO2 emissions, simulations of the whole building were performed in order to identify the optimum technical choices. These choices have
REEB: GA no.: 224320 D2.1
been based on dynamic thermic simulation and have been used for the programmation of the operation and for the architectural work. During the building retrofitting, dynamic thermic simulations have been exploited to help in the components final choice (FCU and water loops temperature range mainly). The second step in the concept consists in a heavy monitoring and control system that is used to quantify real gains and operational problems or mistakes in the original simulations or hypotheses.
