Austria

Energy monitoring vision

In Austria energy data and climatic data are regularly collected, stored and published in various databases, reports and documents. Public and private organizations are constantly working on the evaluation and interpretation of these data:

• Statistic Austria, E-Control
• Climate- and Energy- Funds
• Federal Ministry (BML, BMWFW, BMVIT)
• provincial governments (statistical departments, GIS)
• Social partners and chambers (Chamber of Labour, Chamber of Commerce, Association of Industry, ÖGB)
• Universities and Research Organisations
• National and regional Energy Agencies
• National and regional energy utilities (electricity, gas, fuel)
• Cities and municipalities
• “EU-Regional managements”
• Energy- and climate consulting and project companies
• NGOs (e.g. Green Peace, Global 2000)
• City- and regional- planer, technical offices for energy, environment and traffic

With these collected energy and climate data, regular energy and climate monitoring reports (e.g. annual energy and climate reporting) and studies for specific events and topics, as well as for different levels (state, country, district, municipality) can be written.

• Energy and climate strategies
• Spatial and city planning, settlement development
• Mobility development
• Emission and energy balance
• Implementation of renewable energy systems
• Sustainable concepts (Sustainable Energy Action Plans)
• Energy accounting for public buildings

At national and regional level, energy supply companies (energy suppliers) are required to supply energy (natural gas, electricity, oil, fuels) and emission data to public statistics organizations. On local level, energy is used for various purposes (housing, transport, business, etc.). But, data on energy consumption is scarce and is distributed to individual consumer groups by random sampling. This methodology does not allow a local exact assignment. Within the framework of the CitiEnGov project, procedures and procedures are developed and tested which allow a better understanding of energy consumption. This results in a better basis for planning.

• Urban planning
• Sustainable Energy Action Plan -SEAP und Sustainable Energy Climate Action Plan –SECAP
• Energy consulting

The data sources should contain the following parameters:

• Local GIS pre-location per object and energy user:
• Use of the object (type of use, year of construction, persons, mobility)
• Energy efficiency and renewable energy (energy rating, solar / PV, building retrofit)

On the basis of these data energy saving planning, urban development, traffic and climate planning as well as consulting per objects can be supported. The collected data are not publicly available, they are only available to authorized planners and consultants of the region and municipalities. This data quality is intended to enable local decision-makers to set realistic goals, strategies and measures and to verify their successful compliance. Through the local energy agencies and public advisory offices, companies and the population can benefit from this common knowledge.

Missing data

Data for Urban Planning

For the city planning, the city of Weiz has its own GIS data management system which records and updates the local infrastructure (gas, electricity, water, waste water, district heating). Within the scope of spatial planning, the land, buildings, technical infrastructure and traffic situation for the strategic future planning of the city of Weiz are re-evaluated and documented every five years. The buildings (residential, commercial and public buildings) are recorded in the local GWR (building housing register) and kept as up-to-date as possible by the building authorities of the city of Weiz. Each building is a data set and contains, among other things, Address, type of building, gross floor area, energy rating, type of energy source, heating system)

Nature of data	GIS data management system
Why is it missing?	Older (before 2000) infrastructure data of existing pipelines and installations have not been measured yet. These are only carried out for new road and infrastructure (additionally included)

Nature of data	Spatial planning of the city of Weiz
Why is it missing?	Detailed data on buildings, land areas, traffic data (car, truck), parking areas, public transport are missing.

Nature of data	Building housing register
Why is it missing?	Overall data (address (90%) building (70%), heating (20%), energy rating (<10%) are incomplete and would have to be reprocessed.

What is missing for Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP) requirements

Nature of data	Electricity and Gas consumption data
Data Related issues	The providers do not provide electricity and gas consumption at all for any municipalities

Nature of data	Transport
Data Related issues	On a local level, there are only individually collected data through irregularly conducted traffic counts of individual traffic (cars). Energy consumption per km / household or km / operation are only available statistically. Local assignments (where the vehicles are stationed) are missing.

Nature of data	Other fuels data (heating and production)
Data Related issues	Energy carriers (fuels) per building are only available if these are entered in the GWR. Process energy (industry, trade, food, etc.) are largely non-existent and must be collected individually. This data is currently not stored centrally.

Required ICT tools

Tool requirements for Urban Planning purposes

Each municipality must have its own GIS system for the local infrastructure (electricity, gas, district heating, roads, public lighting) and buildings (private, public and offices). Building, energy (heating, electricity, production) and traffic data (number: cars, bicycles, trucks, km-power: kilometres travelled per vehicle, energy demand: fuel / vehicle) can then be recorded and evaluated. These data should be kept up-to-date and should be checked randomly every 5 years.

Tool requirements for Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP) requirements

In the regions of the Eastern part of Styria there are some municipalities that have developed a SEAP. A SECAP has not been developed yet in this region. The city of Weiz has to develop a corresponding SECAP out of strategies for energy actions. ICT tools will be developed for the documentation and presentation for political decision-makers as well as for implementation partners (citizens, enterprises). These tools can be used be used by other municipalities and regions and thus also to facilitate better comparability between the municipalities and the regions. At the level of Styria, these local SECAPs can be merged into a SECAP Styria with common goals and individual actions to achieve national and EU energy and EU climate goals.

Tool requirements for Energy Office purposes

The W.E.I.Z. as a regional energy agency uses ICT tools such as GIS, GWR, SECAP, together with the energy and environmental departments of the city of Weiz for the data input, data archiving and for the data analysis. In the context of events, workshops and media campaigns for the topics of "Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Climate Change", the constantly updated energy and climate databases are provided to the local actors as an argumentative aid for political and economic decisions on investments and projects. Through the publication of compact data and charts on the world wide web pages, newspapers, public screens and folders, the real situation of the energy demand, CO2 emissions and the climate change of the population should be made visible. Reactions and actions for sustainable improvement for energy and climate are to be incorporated into the databases of the respective energy divisions of the city. The energy agency is supporting the individual energy and climate promoters through technical and financial information.

Croatia

Energy monitoring vision

Croatia has the national base of energy consumption and savings in two national information systems: System for measuring and verifying energy savings (SMIV), Information system for energy management (ISGE). These systems are focal point for City of Split buildings energy management. According to National law on energy efficiency, all energy distributors have the obligation of conducting annual reports on energy consumption. These data are not available on local level, not even if payed. The problem could be resolved in high extent if remote reading devices were installed in all consumption objects, so there could be central energy unit to manage given data and conduct statistical energy reports. All other solutions could be based on changing the rules and policies at national level that can allow transparency of energy data on local level for at least payed usage and statistical research, and not deny the approach in regulative of business secret.

Germany

Energy monitoring vision

One tool which easily provides energy data and CO2 balances, an individual package of measures and scenarios to the energy conservation and energy use on municipal level and even on district level. It should bring together geodata with information on energy consumption and power demand as well as energy potentials. It should support all steps of the planning and decision making. Examples:

• http://www.smartgeomatics.de/produkte.html#s2E-web
• http://www.smartgeomatics.de/images/loesungen/quartiersanierung/SG-Flyer-2E-Web_Monitor.pdf

Currently, for energy planning and CO2 balances, there is a variety of data provider (local utility company, statistical offices on different level, private companies in the transport sector and so on). This means on working level to send requests to each provider which is not practical and a solution should be found on this. For the CO2-balances exists a state-wide tool BICO2BW which is used, but still requests are needed. Data on private buildings is not available or/and recorded (e.g. insolation, private energy supply), it also underlies data protections. According to the energy saving order we have the duty for public sector entities (> 500m²) and for some non-residential buildings to get energy cards. Public sector entities must publicly display the energy cards. For private buildings, the information on energy performance is only provided to the owner. Concerning, companies, it is also necessary to request any data. For Non-SMEs, an energy audit and an energy management must be carried out. It is a challenging task to get these private data and due to data protection, it is no public data and has to be anonymised or even aggregated.

Required ICT tools

For a tool which easily provides energy data and CO2 balances, an individual package of measures and scenarios to the energy conservation and energy use on municipal level and even on district level. It is important to have geodata with information on energy consumption and power demand as well as energy potentials.

• Data should be available on the same level (as smaller the level the better, e.g. households).
• Data should be recorded regularly (same cycle) and to develop a regularly sequence.
• Data should be provided to the municipality – not on request to different institutions.
• Data should be available/provided in a standardized format easily used for GIS analysis (e.g. some data only come as info via Email not in a table or something. It has to prepared for analytical usage, GIS etc).
• As skills it would be necessary to have more GIS experts working in municipalities who are also have planning skills (Energy).
• For CO2-balances exists a state-wide tool BICO2BW which is used by the municipality.
• Data is also recorded for the European Energy Award as well as for the SECAP / CoM.
• Data on private buildings is not available or/and recorded (e.g. insolation, private energy supply), it also underlies data protections.

Energy monitoring vision

In our opinion it is important to build the energy monitoring system for all governments which would be able to review the energy consuming of the buildings one by one. Meaning of energy monitoring: Energy efficiency review and representing the connected solutions. It defines the energy efficiency opportunities and represents the results. The energy monitoring also focuses on restructures which do not require any investments. The main goal is to follow the consumption and to identify the methods which can reduce the energy usage. With the help of the monitoring system we are able to see the consuming data by months in every building and also the areas which need development. The steps of monitoring:

1. Checking the basic data of buildings-
2. Checking energy saving methods.
  2.1 Checking for methods which do not need any investments
  2.2 Checking for methods which need a minimal input
  2.3 Checking for methods which need a high-volume input	
3. Examination of achieved measurements
4. Define measurements to achieve
5. Following the execution

During and after the execution of energy measurements it provides advantages for the following of the results because:

• Increases the efficiency of the planning procedure and the execution of measurements.
• Examines and corrects the energy measurements and also the quality of the measurement series
• Eliminates the gap between the goals and measurable goals
• Expands the experience connected to the evaluation of the project
• Optimises the division of human resources and tries to save the resources
• Increases the quality of the communication

We have to concentrate on those indicators which are well-established and the analyzation of them do not need serious energy professional skills. Considering the budged efficiency and the clarity we have to implant the following indicators into the institutions:

• Decrease of the electrical energy consumption (kWh/year)
• Decrease of heating energy consumption (GJ/year)
• The ratio of the renewable energy sources related to the whole energy consumption (%)
• Number of people who participated in the awareness-raising programmes (number of people))
• Number of awareness-raising programmes (piece)

From January 2017, every government agency must hire an energy specialist who reviews the energy consuming of the buildings and gives advice about energy efficient investments. With the help of the monitoring system it would be easy and obvious how to follow the consumption of the buildings. Difficulties: Lack of resources, there is no available financial support

Missing data

Nature of data

In case of local governments: Energy monitoring system

Why is it missing?

Not marked, it is not needed to hire an energy rapporteur - There is no registration system of energy invoices - It is needed but local governments did not make the energy certification of the buildings - There is no registration system for energy - There is no motivation to reduce energy consumption - In proposals, it is not a priority to create an energy monitoring system - There is no motivation for managers of buildings and institutions - There is no law to obligate

Nature of data	In case of people: automatic smart meter
Why is it missing?	There is no energy registration system which is easy to use or available - Creating SmartHome systems is really expensive - The priority is energy efficiency: insulation, replace windows - Lack of awareness-raising programmes

Required ICT tools

In case of local governments: Developing an energy management system, Hiring an energy specialist group at every local government. In case of people: Installing automatic smart meters in households, creating and developing energy aware view. Required tools: Resources, legal and political legislation. The equipment of the smart meters must be available for the public. In case of local governments, the consumption could be checked in buildings, the energetical condition would be followed.

Italy

Energy monitoring vision

The energy monitoring vision is declined on three specific application scenarios:

• Energy monitoring for the purposes of the municipal Urban Planning office
• Energy monitoring for the fulfilment of Sustainable Energy Action Plans requirements
• Energy monitoring for the purposes of the municipal Energy office

Energy monitoring for Urban Planning

Urban Planning in Italy, but also in the Emilia Romagna Region and more specifically in the territory of Ferrara over the last decade, has clearly shifted its attention from the expansion of territory to urban regeneration and refurbishment/retrofitting of buildings, due to many concomitant factors (economic crisis, decline in births, excess supply of housing, need for smaller residences, soil consumption and all the problems related). In this contest, being aware of the state of the existing building stock and its energy properties is crucial in order to:

1. Plan structural interventions through public works with municipality funds (three-year public works plans) and external funding (regional and/or European funds) or through partnerships with providers (e.g. for geothermal -or gas- network extension);
2. Design information and awareness raising on activities aimed at reducing costs and pollution (atmospheric emissions but also urban heat islands);
3. Provide targeted incentives (economic incentives, volumetric incentives), as did the Building Regulation of the Municipality of Ferrara), or fiscal incentives, as foreseen in the new Urban Planning Law being approved.

The aim is thus to obtain, for all the buildings in the municipal area:

• The aim is thus to obtain, for all the buildings in the municipal area:
• Main use for the building (+ in the case of residential use: the number of people living there and age; for other uses: the type of activity);
• Annual energy consumption (electricity, cooling, hot water, heating);
• Type and status of building installations using energy (boiler, heating system, air conditioning, heat pump) and producing it (renewable energy sources, RES);
• Information about building renovation and energy refurbishment of buildings
• Energy performance data (e.g. energy performance certificates)

Through the knowledge of these data, it is possible to identify where and how to act and to define energy planning on a municipal scale. An added value of project CitiEnGov could be to start:

• Intersectoral collaboration within the administration, in order to produce and acquire harmonized data; But not just data, also know-how and services to the citizen;
• Similarly, a process between the partners involved (entities, providers, region, stakeholders) to define a protocol for mutual exchange of data

Energy monitoring for Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP) requirements

Energy data useful for developing and monitoring a SEAP can be summarized in:

• Energy building consumption divided by sector of activity (residential, public illumination, industry, transport, agriculture) and by type of fuel;
• Local renewable and non-renewable thermal production data (photovoltaic plants, biogas plants, waste treatment plants, thermal solar plants, vegetable oil, biofuels, other biomasses, geothermal energy);
• District heating network data;
• Comparison of electricity and thermal consumption per capita in relation to other cities in the same region;
• Consumption data of the municipality buildings;
• Consumption data for the Industry sector outside of ETS (Emissions Trading System);
• Energy saving data obtained for each year by energy operators (e.g. ESCO)

Energy monitoring for the Energy Office

For the Energy Office activities it would be important to have accurate information about heating and air conditioning systems for all the buildings in the municipal territory. Emilia Romagna Region is developing CRITER Census, a regional cadastre for thermal plants and installations which should include data on: georeferenced installation position, nominal power, number of devices, energy carrier, plant type (heating, cooling, heat pump).

Missing data

What is missing for Urban Planning purposes

In general, the interest of administrators at every level on energy data has increased, but there is still no structured plan for the production, maintenance, transmission and standardization of building energy data.

What follows are some considerations on the current status of data availability:

• There is a good availability of data concerning buildings (surface area, volume, type of use, residents);
• In terms of consumption, data is available from some sources (the National Tax Agency), but there are difficulties in transmitting data; sometimes data is not of good quality; and finally, data are not harmonized with municipal data (toponym, land register);
• Emilia Romagna Region owns and manages the database of energy performance certificates, but there are difficulties in obtaining these data even for municipalities (and only on request). Moreover, data is partial and of poor quality;
• Regarding the energy data in renovated building, a monitoring was started in January 2016 (georeferencing the intervention, typology, expected energy performance, use of renewable sources);

Nature of data	monitoring of the accounting systems for energy consumption in multi occupied buildings
Why is it missing?	The municipality does not have an archiving system; Perhaps available from other Entities (ENEA, National Tax Agency) but not available at present

Nature of data	Regional Cadastre of thermal plants
Why is it missing?	The cadastre in Ferrara will be active from 2019 - http://energia.regione.emilia-romagna.it/servizi-on-line/criter

Nature of data	Wood/Pellet Stove consumption
Why is it missing?	They are not censed

What is missing for Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP) requirements

Nature of data	Electricity consumption data
Why is it missing?	The provider does not provide electricity consumption about category: TRANSPORT for small-medium cities such as Ferrara

Nature of data	Natural gas consumption data
Why is it missing?	The provider does not provide data divided by SECTOR but by type of contract (use kitchen, use of kitchen and heating and HDW, tertiary). The data do not specify if consumption is directed to single unit building or shared unit buildings

Nature of data	Other fuels data
Why is it missing?	Data are estimated for the municipality on the basis of the provincial consumption data provided by the National Petroleum Bulletin - http://dgsaie.mise.gov.it/dgerm/bollettino.asp

Nature of data	Local Energy production data
Why is it missing?	There is no single referent who collects and provides data

Nature of data	Fossil fuels outside the public network
Why is it missing?	They are not censed

Required ICT tools

Tool requirements for Urban Planning purposes

In the municipality of Ferrara the management system of building permits has been implemented with a section dedicated to the monitoring of energy data related to building renovations (and new constructions). The aim is the monitoring of improvements in the energy performance of the buildings. Moreover, a new webgis platform is under construction, which will include a section - called “energy dashboard” - about energy data consumption of buildings, offering the possibility of visualizing a map of real annual energy consumption at the building level. About the ICT tools, the Municipality needs:

• GIS support for data produced and maintained by the municipality;
• Treatment and standardization for data produced by other entities;
• Support in the definition of technical specifications for data transmission with other public administrations;

Tool requirements for Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP) requirements

A very useful tool would be one that every two years allows to compare the goals of the SEAP between the city of Ferrara and the other experiences of the SEAP in the neighbouring territories in terms of proposed objectives, results of implemented actions, savings targets and renewable energies, CO2 emission factors use.

Tool requirements for Energy Office purposes

The energy office needs to improve the management software currently used for consumption forecast and the final energy reporting (for each thermal season) of the buildings under its management (municipal buildings). The software should simulate the building's energy needs during the occupancy hours for individual buildings and help in defining the correct allocation of energy consumption for individual users in multi-user buildings.

Poland

Energy monitoring vision

Neither City of Bydgoszcz (PP2) nor the Municipality of Grodzisk Mazowiecki (PP5) have an energy monitoring database and ICT tools to properly perform effective energy monitoring and management. This is the reason why we (PP2 and PP5) need to create and establish an Energy Database. This will be the baseline for data harmonization in Poland. We already took further steps and prepared a concept of the Energy Database. In regards to the municipal entities, data on energy consumption is available to obtain in the form of invoices and bills. Private sector isn’t obliged by law to share any data on energy consumption (including data about buildings, transport and RES). This is why our Energy Database concept is designed only for the monitoring and management of the municipal entities, although the system will remain open – it will be possible to add modules in the future if required. For example, in the future we would like to implement into the platform data on buildings (year of construction, cultural heritance, volume, floor area etc.) and data on transportation.

Missing data

BUILDINGS

Nature of data	Volume of buildings
Why is it missing?	No database for monitoring and management

Nature of data	Building’s envelope structure (roof construction, walls construction, windows etc)
Why is it missing?	No database for monitoring and management

Nature of data	Energy efficiency of buildings
Why is it missing?	No database for monitoring and management

Nature of data	Heating source and system in private buildings
Why is it missing?	The data was never collected and needs a door-to-door survey

TRANSPORT

Nature of data	Fuel consumption
Why is it missing?	No database for monitoring and management

Required ICT tools

As mentioned in the vision, cities from Poland don’t have tools required to properly perform energy management and monitoring. Establishing the Energy database is the necessary first step and will result in improvement of data quality and availability as to this day all the data is scattered and hard to access.
