Data models and service interfaces for the SENSEI smart services

This deliverable summarizes the used methodological approach to develop interoperable Smart Energy Services, to improve energy efficiency of European building stock, as well as to draw conclusions for P4P programmes. Recommendations are provided for handling the requirements for the development of new technologies in a complex and uncertain energy environment.

Functional design options for the SENSEI Platform and smart services

This deliverable aims at describing the SENSEI platform from a perspective that illustrates how the smart services developed in the project, specifically by WP4 The P4P Schemes from the Energy System Perspective, WP5, P4P schemes to compensate for energy efficiency as an energy resource, and WP6, P4P schemes to engage third party investors in energy efficiency, can be implemented in a real scenario and used by different actors.

Web-based demonstrationsofthe SENSEI model tools (reference guide)

This document is a reference to navigate through the web tools developed within the project, particularly the SENSEI platform and its smart services. The information is aimed at final, nontechnical users while conveying the actions needed to graphically interact both with the tools and the data. That is, a guide through platform usage and capabilities via examples.

The business model of the Energy Efficiency Aggregator

The objective of this report is to analyse and explore the functions of the Energy Efficiency Aggregator.  Early experience from the U.S.A. suggests that P4P programmes have been most successful when aimed at EE Aggregators rather than individual customers. An EE Aggregator is an aggregating entity that groups a sufficient number of buildings together into an energy savings portfolio. P4P schemes that make payments to aggregators appear better able to drive innovation in energy efficiency service delivery.

The ex-ante evaluation of financial benefits in the SENSEI P4P scheme

Energy retrofits of buildings have long been known to deliver more benefits than solely energy cost savings. The report describes a methodology for monetizing these multiple benefits.  Their ex-ante estimation is an essential task for the energy efficiency aggregator when developing a P4P scheme and, the outcome is instrumental in attracting financiers of P4P schemes.

The interplay between P4P and demand response incentives

How can a P4P scheme incentivise the implementation of energy efficiency? This report explores measures that also improve demand flexibility potential. The main objective is to update the SENSEI model developed in T5.2 to integrate the values of demand response services in P4P.

The drivers of the value of energy efficiency as an energy resource

This deliverable proposes a methodology to quantify the value of an energy efficiency improvement project or a portfolio of such projects, as a power grid resource.

Consolidated Services and Technical Standards Catalogue

Within this deliverable from the SENSEI project, an overview of meaningful ‘smart’ technologies in the context of buildings is given in a so-called service catalogue acting as a single source for an overview of technologies in the context of smart buildings actively contributing to the KPI of a Smart Readiness Indicator.

Guidelines for the design of P4P schemes

This report aims at formulating guidelines for designing a pay-for-performance (P4P) programme that steers towards energy efficiency measures in buildings benefiting both building owners and the power system. The guidelines are expected to facilitate the design of a conceptual P4P programme1 which may ultimately be piloted in one or more EU Member States.

Proposal on the specifications for P4P project da

This report is aimed at defining a list of indicators that can be used to evaluate the impact of implemented Pay-for-Performance (P4P) programs for energy efficiency. In addition to introducing the P4P concept, the SENSEI model is introduced. An important feature of the indicators here is the possibility to include them in the De-risking Energy Efficiency Platform (DEEP), an open-source database that includes information about energy efficiency investments and achieved savings.

Policy developments in the European Union and strategies for Pay-for-Performance business models

This report focuses on ways that policy and regulatory developments in the EU may become risks or opportunities for energy efficiency Pay-for-Performance schemes. Based on a multi-disciplinary approach, regulatory opportunities for P4P schemes are identified considering the different policy measures and market uptakes. This, in turn, has enabled to provide a set of integrated strategies for rolling out P4P schemes in the EU, by considering existing and upcoming regulatory frameworks, the exploitation of opportunities that may emerge and adaptation to potentially unfavourable developments.

Guidelines for the design of effective P4P rate structures

This report aims to identify the relationship between the compensation rate structures within a P4P scheme and the required energy efficiency measures of a group of selected buildings. It provides a general overview of the required elements to consider when designing a compensation structure. In addition, an extended analysis of the indirect indicators of non-energy benefits and external factors is carried out which will assist aggregators to assess expected incentives for customers.

The ex-ante evaluation of financial benefits in the SENSEI P4P scheme

How can we provide an ex-ante estimation of the financial benefits of implementing energy efficiency measures in a P4P scheme?

Energy retrofits of buildings have for long been known to deliver more benefits than solely energy cost savings. This report describes a methodology for the monetization of these multiple benefits.  Their ex-ante estimation is an important task for the energy efficiency aggregator when developing a P4P scheme. In this report, a selection of methods is provided to quantify and monetize benefits such as energy cost savings, increased building value,  optimized operation and maintenance costs and more.

Methods for the dynamic measurement and verification of energy savings

By offering a new, advanced energy efficiency metering tool named eensight, this deliverable aims at contributing to the advancement of the automated measurement and verification (M&V) methods for energy efficiency. Automated M&V combines real-time data and predictive modelling methods so that to produce tools to understand the characteristics of a building’s energy consumption, and provide continuous feedback on the most probable impact of an energy efficiency intervention.

The Boundary Cases for the P4P Rates

What will it take for energy providers to support the rollout of energy efficiency measures?

This report identifies the market value of energy savings from the energy providers’ perspective. It provides a concrete classification and evaluation of the various energy efficiency measures which provides the foundations for proposing a definition of a P4P rate that is transparent and a non-performance-based incentive that can be offered to energy providers.

Experience and lessons learned from pay-for-performance (P4P) pilots for energy efficiency

This newly-released report provides definition, general design and examines the rationale for P4P energy efficiency programmes as well as an in-depth review of 11 case studies from North America and EU (Germany). This, in turn, has enabled to provide a set of key implications and recommendations for a successful replication of the P4P approach in the EU, which could speed up the rate of energy efficiency improvement in the EU’s buildings while reducing the costs of the energy transition.
