BackgroundOptimization of thermal energy supply:

Complexity of analysis of heat demand

Quantity and QUALITY (temperature level) to be known Holistic approach required (all available concepts / technologies:

process optimization, heat recovery, CHP, renewables, heat pumps)

Need for fast but high quality audit methodology

STANDARDIZATION

SEMI-AUTOMATIZATION

DATA SUBMISSION BY DISTANCE

EINSTEIN THERMAL AUDITS

- easily affordable for SMEs- high quality- reliable- user friendly

Objective and main steps (I)Specific objectives: consolidate experience and EINSTEIN thermal energy

audit tools from previous IEE project EINSTEIN 2007-2009

extend to new countries and new target groups (buildings in the service sector)

Strategic long-term objectives convert EINSTEIN into best-practice standard for

thermal energy auditing establish an EINSTEIN community for maintenance

and further development as free and open source project

Objective and main steps (II)EINSTEIN II will:

consolidate the EINSTEIN thermal energy audit methodology and improve the robustness of software tool (WP5)

extend its application to non-industrial uses (buildings)

realise an intensive training programme in 10 European countries (WP2)

72 audits in the 10 countries (WP3)

contribute to standardisation activities ongoing in the CEN/CENELEC Committees on energy management and energy audit, and elaborate a draft for a CEN workshop agreement (WP4)

15th of December 2012IEE/09/702/SI2.558239, Project duration from 1/07/2010 to 31/10/2012

Main results Consolidated EINSTEIN tool-kit V2.2 (software

tool + audit guide) with extension to non-industrial users-> http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/einstein

256 auditors trained in 10 countries, 107 auditors trained in advanced trainings

72 audit reports in industry and in the service sector. Average primary energy savings of 20% (about 40% of primary energy for thermal uses)

CEN/CENELEC workshop agreement “Good Practice Thermal Energy Audits (GPTEA)”
