AIE Technical Task Force meeting on 1 April 2014, Frankfurt

• 1. Welcome and approval of the draft agenda

Presentation of Light and Building and the upcoming technological trends

by

Maria Hasselman, Director Light and Building

3. Upcoming technical trends/ developments

@ national level and main focus

3. Brief Brussels news

• 3.1 Consultation meeting with Commission for a European Lighting Strategy

• 3.2 Move from products to systems for more Energy Efficiency

• 3.3 Outcome of the Stakeholders WG on the Primary Energy conversion factor for electricity

• 3.4 Report on webinar ‘Eco-design power cable’

3.3 - Consultation meeting with Commission for a European Lighting Strategy

Some Issues for a European Strategy on Lighting

• How to stimulate SSL uptake in buildings ? The public sector as lead market ? What can industry do, e.g. to showcase the benefits ?

• How to leverage the move to smart buildings and smart cities as drivers ?

• How to create more consumer awareness ? • What can industry and consumer associations do to improve

the knowledge and awareness of consumers ? Objectives & targets ?

• Which specific high-impact actions could be proposed ? Where to focus on to have impact and a multiplying effect ? How can such actions be co-developed with the stakeholders ?

• Summary:

- New impetus to stimulate the market from innovation and market transformation

- Focus on comfort, human centric lighting (health aspects)- EC will zoom in on certain issues (residential retrofit market,

intelligent lighting solutions, open standards, from ledification to digitalisation, market surveillance,

- Extra input can still always be sent in writing until end of April

4. Moving from products to systems: WHY?EPBD: Technical building systems• Member States to set system requirements in respect of:

• Overall energy performance;

• Proper installation;

• Appropriate dimensioning, adjustment and control for new, replacement and upgrading of technical building systems

Including at least:

• Heating systems

• Hot water systems

• Air-conditioning systems

• Large ventilation systems

• or combinations of such systems

3.1 Briefing on EU Energy policy

4. Moving from products to systems

Energy Efficiency Directive

• Central governments ….. , shall:

• purchase only the products belonging to the highest

energy efficiency class possible under ELD;

• purchase only products that comply with energy

efficiency benchmarks specified in relevant implementing measure under the EDD;

'Installer label‘:

• Label for 'packages' of heaters, temperature controls and solar devices• Based on 'simple‘ calculations• Entry into force: September 2015

(some) Challenges:

• Where does the product stop and where does the system begin?

• Where does the internal market stop and where do national markets begin?

• Who is responsible for the placing on the market and/or the putting into service?

• How to undertake market surveillance on (bespoke) systems?

• What are the most suitable legal instruments to address system efficiency?

4. Moving from products to systems:

• Recommendations for policy: Source: BRE study for DEFRA (2011) ‘Policy Making for Energy Saving in Systems’

Initial steps• 1. Identify serviceable functions and most promising potentials• 2. Decide what type and level of intervention is practicable• 3. Investigate current system benchmarks• 4. Check potential conflicts with existing legislation• 5. Define the system using an extended product approach• 6. Justify the choice of the system vs product/component

3.2 - Outcome of the Stakeholders WG on the Primary Energy conversion factor for electricity

Outcome of stakeholders’meeting on primary energy conversion factor:

In legislative acts such as EPBD, the Energy Efficiency Directive and both eco-design and energy labelling Directive, the Conversion Coefficient factor (2,5) is used to define and express the energy efficiency of electric products

- European association stakeholders meeting in the electricity sector met on 28 November and 17 January
