Important Facts
• Under the Kyoto Protocol overall reduction for CO2 emissions needs to fall by 20% by 2020.
• Up to 50% of CO2 emissions related to residential and commercial buildings is from electricity consumption.
• If newly constructed buildings perform exactly as existing buildings the result by 2020 will be an increase in electricity consumption of 22%.
Important Facts
• In order to reach a fall in consumption of 20% by 2020 the following has to happen:
1- All new buildings constructed to consume 50% less energy
2- 1 in 10 existing buildings to reduce consumption by 30% each year
The ability to meet targets by simply persuading people to act differently or deploy new energy saving or energy efficient technologies is unlikely to succeed.
Important Concepts
• Power is nothing without control.• If you can’t measure it, you can’t control it.• If you can’t control it, you can’t manage it.• Management & Control based on continuous
and real time measurement is the KEY to energy Efficiency.
• Priority ONE should be for energy saving. It will cost a lot less to invest in saving energy rather than investing in renewable energy.
Important Definitions
Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD): Is an analytics tool that recognizes when a problem has occurred or is likely to occur and pinpoints one or more root causes of the problem so that corrective action can be taken
Important Definitions
Automated Demand Response (ADR): The ADR actively initiates control actions that minimize energy use & costs over a prescribed time horizon based on dynamic pricing or Peak loads that might lead to shutdowns to ensure occupant comfort, productivity, and safety.
Important Definitions
Automated Measurement & Verification (M&V): Is a set of activities that demonstrate to a customer that a project implementing energy efficiency programs is working as intended and generating agreed-upon savings. by comparing the energy use before and after implementation of energy conservation measures using the same baseline.
Important Definitions
Energy Information Management: Is the useful visualization of information resulting from data collection, mining and other analytics.
Important Definitions
High Performance buildings: are designed and built to minimize energy usage and environmental impacts, while maximizing comfort, health, and safety
Smart Buildings: Leverage technology to provide enhanced performance and are connected and responsive to the “smart” power grid, whichis emerging as information technology is applied to the infrastructure that delivers our electricity.

Smart Grids & Smart Buildings
• Truly smart buildings will leverage knowledge that resides outside its walls.
• Introducing programs that allow real-time adjustment of demand in addition to supply when wholesale prices are high or when grid reliability is in question or high demand is expected.
• Two-way communication between the Grid & the Building where software conversation actually makes the Grid & the Building talk to each other.

How can ICT Help
The ICT sector can boost energy efficiency and enable emission reductions in a number of ways: • Standardize• Monitor• Account• Rethink• Transform
ICT: Standarise
• Standarise: ICT can provide information in standard forms on energy consumption and emissions, across sectors
ICT: Monitor
• Monitor: ICT can incorporate monitoring information into the design and control for energy use
ICT: Account
• Account: ICT can provide the capabilities and platforms to improve accountability of energy and carbon.
ICT: Rethink
• Rethink: ICT can offer innovations that capture energy efficiency opportunities across buildings, homes , transport, power, manufacturing and other infrastructure and provide alternatives to current ways of operating, learning, living, working and travelling
ICT: Transform
• Transform: ICT can apply smart and integrated approaches to energy management of systems and processes, including benefits from both automation and behavior change and develop alternatives to high carbon activities, across all sectors of the economy.

Managing Sustainable Goals
Energy efficiency measures contribute to an organization’s sustainability goals, such as tracking and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But if the data is trapped within the building management system, executive level decision-makers may not find it.
Managing Sustainable Goals
One result of exposing data to the executive levels is a web-based dashboard display that offers a visual snapshot of which facilities are experiencing high energy usage.
Visualization
Visualization
Executives in charge of sustainability and carbon footprint management are now able to see the big picture of their organization, no matter how many buildings or geographic locations are involved. When information is available quickly and can be accessed anywhere, managers are able to make better decisions that have an immediate impact on profitability.

Access to Information
The underlying principle that drives the connections between smart technology, sustainability, and efficiency is the access to better information that enables more effective decision making, which in turn results in more efficient operations and fewer resource requirements.
Smart Energy Efficiency Initiative (Program)
Four steps to a smarter program:-
1- Surveillance: The ability to collect sufficient data in real time or near real time. It is referred to as “instrumented” because it depends upon the right infrastructure and instrumentation to gather and collect the data.
Smart Energy Efficiency Initiative (Program)
2- Transformation: The need to begin the transformation of that source data into useful information with interconnected devices and software tools that enable multidirectional communications. We call this step “interconnected” because it represents the spoke and hub network of “consumption devices” and centralized information systems that gather and assess the various data sources.
Smart Energy Efficiency Initiative (Program)
3- Intelligence: The progression from information to action through the use of advanced analytics, intelligent controls, and automatic event detection and handling as well as Fault Detection & Diagnostic (FDD). This is the point at which performance optimization becomes the defining program principle.
Smart Energy Efficiency Initiative (Program)
4- Innovation: The highest level of a smarter initiative is the application of innovative business solutions, which transform the way we operate and behave through the application of new technologies, new processes, and virtual teams.
Smart Energy Efficiency Initiative (Program)
Based on the mentioned four steps, a control framework can be established based on advanced data analysis and improved decision making on matters such as peak load management, power factor corrections, and load shedding. This framework recognizes a rapid return on investment.
Smart Energy Efficiency Initiative (Program)
In fact, if done well, it’s a transformational journey that affects and improves an organization’s processes, policies, governance, and business model.
