According to the second Smart EPC project newsletter, a number of documents and tools have been recently developed to help standardised Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) project preparation as well as to help inform local authorities on best practices and real-life case studies.
A set of informative documents have been created to facilitate project preparation.
Smart EPC Factsheets Information about different EPC models, demonstration projects and pilots primarily from H2020 and other similar project databases. Analysis has been carried out of types of technologies (energy and non-energy) used and developed in relation to public lighting.
Smart EPC Case studies They include technologies already in operation on markets as well as future technologies, energy and non-energy related services and ICT technologies complementary to public lighting infrastructure.
ICT technology and market assessment report The report contains possible additional revenue streams from energy and non-energy related services and determines their financial viability under EPC projects. It is presented in a cross-country and trans-disciplinary comparison with SWOT analysis and lessons learned from qualitative data collection and it provides conclusions on the needs and suggestions for the scope of the ICT technology to be used in future EPC projects.
ICT Smart EPC concept draft It provides technical specifications for identified ICT technologies as well as energy and non-energy services, used in further development of Smart EPC standardized documentation together with minimal requirements for possibility of their use. The highlight is on implementation mechanisms and specific pilot requirements for every technology and energy or non-energy service if it is to be used in specific Smart EPC contract/project.
Handbook on Smart City other ICT technology in Energy Performance Contracting With guidelines of best practice for structuring Smart EPC projects intended for interested parties. This handbook brings to interested parties all the background and knowledge needed to analyse and decide on ICT and energy and non-energy services to be included in their respective projects.
