Climate Change Reality
• “The latest science makes it clear that the world needs to reach zero
carbon emissions globally by 2050 to maximise chances of staying
below 2 degrees and to make 1.5 degrees feasible,”… Mary Robinson,
NUI maynooth, Summer 2015.
• Paris: “long term <2.0°C” /
”or 1.5°C”*
• February 2016 is 1.55°C-
1.75°C* - Nasa
• White Paper: 80%-95% CO2
by 2050
By 2050:
- 5-20% of current CO2
- Agriculture
- Transport
- Not a lot left for heat &
electricity

Local Sustainable Energy Action Planning
Date: 31/05/2016
Presented By: Jonathan Griffin - CKEA
Data4Action – EU Funded Project
12 Member States, 14 Partners
Data4Action
The main objective
to improve the access for local authorities to energy data
this energy data will be used to assist the local authority in Sustainable Energy Action
Planning (SEAP) and monitoring
Local authorities are responsible for designing, implementing and monitoring
Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs)
Effective monitoring required for these plans which requires the
An availability of energy data for analysing trends
Also to implement a continuous improvement process of the SEAP actions
The challenge is to initiate a process to regularly exchange data between the
different stakeholders involved (utilities, energy data providers, public
authorities, etc.)
Covenant of Mayors Overview
Signatories represent cities/regions/municipalities
Committed to implement sustainable energy policies
increased energy efficiency
development of renewable energy sources
6,317 signatories across Europe
8 in Ireland
Kilkenny County Council
Carlow County Council
Cork County Council, Kerry County Council, South Dublin County Council
Tipperary County Council, Dublin County Council, Waterford County Council
CoM Targets
European movement to mobilise local and regional authorities to meet &
exceed the EU 20-20-20 targets:
20% decrease in Greenhouse gas emissions below 1990
levels
20% reduction in primary energy use by improving energy
efficiency
20% of EU energy consumption to come from renewable
resources
Data4Action and Covenant of Mayors
Energy data is crucial for sustainable energy plans, which includes:
energy consumption;
as well as production on electricity, heat, gas;
and transport data etc.
Local energy data is then used for the calculation of the Baseline Emission
Inventory.
Data4Action therefore facilitates public authority access to energy data through
effective and structured collaboration agreements with energy providers.
Energy Data –Why do we need it?
Energy data is crucial for identifying trends and priority sectors
Gives measures to target in terms of energy efficiency
improvement and transition towards renewable energy sources.
Inscribed in the municipal and regional Sustainable Energy
Action Plans (SEAPs)
Data4Action and Covenant of Mayors
Territorial break down of data for a more detailed local analysis
and for the monitoring of local actions.
The Carlow Kilkenny Energy Agency (CKEA) is acting as the
regional facilitator for the Regional Energy Observatory
energyhub.ie.
CKEA has commitment from both Carlow County Council and Kilkenny County
Council with regards to provision of energy data for the observatory
This website will facilitate stakeholders (local authorities, SMEs, utilities and
interested bodies) to have access to accurate regional energy data. Both Carlow
County Council and Kilkenny County Council have signed the CoM
Data4Action and Covenant of Mayors
Energy data sharing also has advantages for companies such as energy suppliers or
network operators.
By sharing their data they can actively participate and contribute to climate action
plans that are also useful for their public reputation.
Through data sharing energy suppliers and network operators also get a better
overview of the whole market at the local level and hence, they can better anticipate
the future needs of communities, territories and especially consumers.
Advantages
centralised data collection and analysis system
decrease of uncertainties to measure future trends
Who can engage?
Collaboration agreements
Are Key to Success!!
Have buy in: Politically and from the Utility providers
The main problems encountered are unavailable or low quality data from providers
Creating a data centre energyhub.ie is supposed to simplify the access to energy
data at regional and local level
Collaboration agreements with data providers are foreseen to guarantee the quality
of input data, the centralised database of consumptions will unify the data
processing and analysis of SEAPs
By having these collaboration agreements and access to high quality energy data at
a local level – will inform the decision makers at a local level
Having a relevant story to tell from the data collected to promote the aims of the
SEAP
Barriers
Commercial sensitivity to sharing energy data
Need to highlight the importance of sharing energy data at a local level to Distributed System Operators
Data needs to be reviewed and verified
Lack of technical knowledge
Lack of political engagement
Time – for data monitoring, collection, review and verification
Success Factors
As part of the EU Energy 2020 Strategy, member states must Increase Energy
Efficiency with a particular focus on the Public Sector
CKEA: Support and manage public sector energy efficiency since 2009
Ambitious objectives for public sector consumption – 33% in Ireland
Measure public sector energy activity & consumption
Support and manage public sector energy efficiency
M&R (Monitoring and Reporting) is carried out by CKEA on all public sector
energy activity and data every year
Communication with all stakeholders throughout the process
This concludes into SEAP actions for the Energy MAP in the coming years
Lessons Learned
The process of setting up collaboration agreements is a long process – be
patient!!
The collaboration agreements should be “Win Win” for both parties. Like all
good business agreements.
Set out clearly the sectors to target. Then prioritise the most important and start
with those.
Lessons Learned
Ensure that the data format is agreed and where possible made as painless and
transparent as is possible for the data provider. You don’t want to be seen as a
nuisance.
Regularly update the collaboration partners with progress in the program.
Continuously engage the elected representatives in the process. They need
education and are interested. Linking weather incidents to SEAP is opportunity.

Domestic CO2 reduction options
• Passive House Retrofit
• At generational retrofit (30-50 years) –
when large works being undertaken:
– External insulation to foundation, and
through soffit.
– Remove ceilings, membrane
installation, and replace floor.
– New windows & doors, airtight to
fabric.
– Airtightness to 0.6-2 ACH;
– HRV, External airsource stoves,
heatpumps with underfloor heating.
– 80k+ additional cost Vs standard
deep renovation (re-wire/ plastering/
plumbing)
– BER of 40-60 kWh/M2/annum.
– €200-€400 to heat.
– 85%+ Reduction in Energy
– 1.8M houses @80k = 144Bn Euro.
Superhomes:
• At deep retrofit w/o long payback
fabric upgrades but higher
ongoing heat use using RES-E
(via grid)
– External insulation where required;
– Achieve moderate Air tightness.
– New front doors.
– New windows where required;
– Demand controlled extract ventilation.
– Heatpumps designed to COP 3
– 20-40k cost. (28k in 2015)
– BER of A3/B1 kWh/M2/annum. (67 in
2015)
– €400- €600 to heat Vs €1800
– 1.8M houses @28k = 50Bn Euro.
– €2Bn/ Annum Vs <€200M today
“I don’t know what to do, How do I know what is value for money? What product is
good, and what is not?”
“Who will do the work, and how can I trust them?”
“I can’t afford the capital cost, but I have high bills!”
“I want cheap finance, but am reluctant to re-mortgage”
“It’s too much hassle, if only someone would just do it for me!”
“Who will make sure it is done correctly”
“if I sell the house, all the money will be wasted”
“How can we expect home owners to design and implement a retrofit of this quality
– we need to have an offering, like this” - DCENR
Barriers to Deep Retrofit
• Superhomes Designed to bring SERVE experience to NZEB
• Expert guided deep retrofit.
• Panel of contractors compete for work
• Negotiation on final measures with advice.
• Arranged Grants
• Arranged Finance
• Certification of works
• Research
• Policy input
What Is Superhomes?
Superhomes 2015
Retrofit heat-pumps: “it can’t be done”
• Heat pumps won’t work because of high temp radiators and poor
airtightness; air-tight houses need ventilation
• Solution: Design radiators to 45°C @-3°C; 35°C average
• Retrofit airtightness & forced ventilation
• Deal with open flues.
• Including sensible standard retrofit measures
Implementation:
• Trusted advisor (sell, survey &
educate).
• Procure and manage contractor &
ensure delivery & value.
• Manage grants / payments /
contracts/ monitoring.
• Electric Ireland: Energy credits &
smart energy control trial0
